Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

Well I mad my descision on Jehovahs Witnesses a long time ago.But I guess I shouldn't be hating other peoples religions.
Doing that makes me less of a person.

One thing I will say is that they live in a very closed socitey.They only associate with other witnesses that share their beliefs.
In affect it's like seeing the world through filtered glasses Things that are crazy don't seem crazy when the guy beside you believes it to.
But they really do believe that they are trying to save your life when they come to the door.They only think witnesses will survive armogedeon.

Not sure where you got that first guote from?

But as far as the second part, he was always Jesus who is god's son, and he led a perfect life, But it was only at his babtism that the memory of being with Jehovah when he created all things was restored to him, at that time he began his messianic work, for the next 3 1/2 years until he was killed on a stake. When he was babtised John heard God's voice from above saying, "this is my son the beloved, whom I have approved."

That's why he "became" the messiah when he was babtised.

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

First off may I ask what made you decide that you didn't want a part of being a witness anymore?

secondly, I'm not judging your desicions, but did you miss that part about, "Bad associations spoil useful habits"? because really it's a protection for people trying to stay true to their faith, there are so many distractions in this world and we being inherently sinful, that sooner or later if we keep exposing ourselves to it, we will succumb to it. Everyone has thier own personal weaknesses whatever it is, Satan knows this and exploits it however he can. Think about it- if he's got people already believing that there's no God, why does he care what they do? He's going to focus on people who are still trying to disprove Satan's original claim that people only serve Jehovah because it's in their best interests.
Think of it this way, If someone is quitting smoking, what's the worst type of people to be around? Other smokers, because they will try to persuade them as much as possible to not quit. So why not just not expose yourself to harmful influences in the first place?

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

Well I quit being a witness because religion in general is unbelievable.I don't believe in the bible or anyother book writen by man.
I do believe that this universe we live in was created by someone or something.Thats about it.

Bevis as your avatar.The langauge in your Sig is not something a christian of your moral standing should be exposing himself to by choice.Watch it I think the world is rubbing of on you.

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

I think you may be right, I never said I was perfect or better than you- believe me the first person I find fault in is myself.

it's something I work on every day.

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

^^^It's a tough life to live. I agree. I curse, should I? Nope. We all sin and have things to work on. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God", and that is why I love God. It's okay to be a big screw up; like me. :y


As for you not believing. That's fine. I have a really good friend who wrote a report on how he doesn't believe in God. I just urge you to try again. Anyone, PM if you don't feel comfortable about it. I'm no better than anyone. I just wish to help anyone I can to live for Jesus Christ and believe in our Lord and Saviour. :)

Ha, that's actually pretty funny, I'm suprised he went to that extent.

me and my wife actually don't have all of our priviledges right now, we got a little too close before we were married.

Sucks :-\

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

What privileges?

Re: God damned Jehovah’s Witnesses.
 

Well we don't get to be a part of the theocratic ministry school, which is basically a program that helps you get better about speaking in public, and I don't get to offer prayer when there's a gathering,

may seem like minor things, but they ARE priveledges. We are pretty close to getting them back though.
