In other words, they refuse to fight evil forces at a national level.
Although back in the day he once tried to sell me a vacuum.
Fnord.
This happened in my family in 1972. My mother was never the same again after she left my dad, and the three of us for the witnesses.
It was devastating and the reprcussions are still felt today. I was 16 at the time.
In 2003, my mother bled to death during a procedure and the doctors had to stand by and watch her die.
I had a JW aunt who died from hemorrhoids.
I just tell em I’m Jewish when they come to the door.
I can't remember the name of it though. I know somewhere in the title it is called a memorial wall.
My sympathies on the whole post. No doubt, painful.
My father turned away from us over 20 years ago, although it was for a different cult. I just can’t wrap my mind around it, even now. He has since remarried and has children around my children’s ages, it is the pain that never ceases. However God uses everything in our lives to draw us to Him. He used this experience to reveal Jesus to me.
I am sorry about your mother.
I view JWs as pinks spammers
Another of the Great American Cults,
which also include Scientology and Mormonism.
I once tried to quote some scripture to one of them, and then he produced his own “Bible”, and lo and behold, there are lots of little subtle changes to scripture made in theirs. Here’s an example. To support their belief that the soul does not immediately go to heaven, they changed a comma in the following passage from Christ on the cross:
“Verily I say unto you, today thou shalt be with me in paradise.”
The JW change it to read:
“Verily I say unto you today, thou shalt be with me in paradise.”
I’m courteous to them, but tell them to get lost in a very nice way. If they don’t leave, I set the dogs on them.
You forgot Pascalism, where people attach themselves to a religion because of perceived spiritual gain.
and
Egoism, where you claim other religions are cults and yours is not.
“Candygram”
Anyone who claims to have an exclusive right to heaven, can go to hell, as far as I’m concerned.
Since there is no comma in the Greek no one can “change” it to anything. Where the comma is placed is the opinion of the translators.
“Egoism, where you claim other religions are cults and yours is not.
My faith is Christian, which is well documented
historically and theologically. Deviation from
orthodoxy that denies fundamental truths of
the Christian Church is heresy. Add in the mind
and social control and you get a cult.
For example: Scientology, JWs and Mormonism.
Which of the cults do you belong to?
best,
