Show me who Jehovah's wittnesses were before Charles Taze Russell.
What group/association/church/ etc held the same ideals or theology?
Go back as far as you want...
Can you name any first or second century church father who believed that Jesus was the arch-angel Michael for example?
Nailit, that's where the fear comes in. He doesn't want to lose his family & friends, by being shunned, if he doesn't adhere to 'Jehovah's' commands. I'm sure there's a lot that would like to get out. They feel trapped.
I once worked a woman who was proper Old Testament, even believing in Adam and Eve, dinosaur fossils were sent by god to test us, that Darwin was an evil charlatan and was very judgemental and quick to preach.
//no, I just want to invite her out for a drink one evening to discuss a few theological points.//
Khandro,
Just another religionist who makes lite of the 'sin' that you
so despise.....
I actually hate people like you.
You look down on others with your
holier than you view.
You make me feel physically sick!
You really do!
Because ive been rebuked (in public) by a pastor of a church,
who was bonking a mistress at the time.
Two faced doesnt even come into it.
// you come over as the most priggish & sanctimonious poster on AB//
Why thank you Khandro!
You are so humble in placing me ahead of you.
The first shall be last and all that.
Thank you
At it again. If you don't choose to be religious that's great. For those of us that are, perhaps you should leave us alone. All it shows, by constantly knocking those of faith, is that is there's gaping hole in your soue - otherwise why keep asking the same questions?
// you come over as the most priggish & sanctimonious poster on AB//
why do people always talk about me behing my back
ter daaah !
Bonking priests can lawfully carry out their religious duties
baptism ( bonkuz may baptize)
marry - other people that is hur hur hur ( both I mean)
priests may still conduct the holy sacrament of marriage
//No. I can't name a first or second century church father who believed Jesus was the 'arch-angel' Michael. Can you? //
NO, and that was the point....
It was a made up theology from goodlife's cult founder.
