non believers what if your wrong ?
by unstopableravens ini do not wish to debate anything here like i have said in the past i have much respect for most on this forum (believers and non believers) i am simply wondering if the atheist or non god believers every worry about what if your wrong?
it seems that many who were jw for so many years attach jehovah/yahweh with the watchtower and since the wt is wrong than god does not exist.
i ask this question only because i care about people and salvation thats why i want to help as many as possable come out of this cult,and since i truly believe in god i dont know what is in the cinscience of those who dont.

Putting it all in context
by smmcroberts inat their convention the wt spokesmen stated that apostates often bring out points that may be true, but are taken way out of context.. so, i've gone to some lengths to put my criticism firmly within context for them in my latest blog:.

can you think of other topics that would benefit from this approach?.

Christ Alone vs IsaacAustin (blood)
by isaacaustin inthe wt arbitrarily imposes a ban of 'whole blood' on its members, resulting in heartache, difficulty/delay in receiving medical care, and in many cases death.
rather than focus on the relatively new allowance of blood fractions and the utter flaws in that logic to wt policy, we will focus on blood transfusions involving 'whole blood'.. christ alone, the restrictions on blood found in the ot, or hebrew scriptures if you will, were dietary restrictions on the eating of animal blood, and nothing more.
the mosaic law forbade the eating of animal blood, as it was to be poured out on the ground.

Abridging the Christian Greek Scriptures
by smmcroberts inmy latest blog is the sequel to "dispensing with the hebrew scriptures":.
http://smmcroberts.net/blog/abridging-the-christian-greek-scriptures/.
it argues for an abridgement of the nt similar to what thomas jefferson accomplished with the "jefferson bible".. i intend a third and final article in this series, so please don't assume that i regard abridging the nt as the last word on the subject..

It's Time to Dump the Hebrew Scriptures.
by smmcroberts inwhy do christian religions continue to pretend that the hebrew scriptures (aka the old testament) is god-inspired and that it describes a loving god?
don't they see that the ot is largely an embarrassment to its believers?
please read my blog to see why i think christianity should dispense with the ot all together:.
