Look .. You can spew venom and use the definitions of a cult that other ‘Valid’ religious leaders have deemed as the last word if you want.
My point is .. Why is it you people who call yourselves Christians have this need or desire to Invalidate another’s belief?
No One Made the person who posted the ripping revue about the JW’s ‘JOIN’ the JW’s.
Contrary to what some may think .. I am not a JW even though I have known and associated with many of them.

I have also known and associated with: Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Baptists and more.
It is Only the ‘so called’ main stream Christians who go out of their way in spreading untruths, fallacy’s and downright lies about the JW’s.

Enough!

If your happy with your beliefs .. more power to you and yours.

Practice the love for others and their beliefs that ‘mainstream’ Christians preach so much about and then Maybe .. Your faith will be a convincing beacon to lead the misguided ‘Cult’ followers into Your light.

A Christian who is ripping and tearing at another’s belief because they fall into someone’s definition of a cult, kook or .. Whatever .. That, my friend is not going to help anyone!

I’ve been a JW for most of my life. I can see through you. You’re either somebody who’s been disfellowshipped for some silly infraction and still feels loyalty to the religion or you’re facing a crisis.

The anti Mormon crowd has pulled two members out and into Christianity here on FR alone, that we know about.

I do live my Christian faith, and part of that is

I have had enough of ‘lukewarm’ Christians who don’t bother to defend their faith and think all roads lead to heaven.

I was LDS for several years, if some Christians hadn’t cared enough to ‘tear down my LDS faith’ I would still be trapped in that cult.

Until you have walked a mile in my shoes, don’t accuse me of not acting Christian by warning others about Mormonism. I confess I don’t know much about the JW’s, I was never one of them. Mormons OTOH...

It is far more important than me just being happy with my beliefs, it is sharing the change in my life (from works to grace) with other.

I don’t expect you to understand in the least.

And what would those be? The lies, fallacy's and untruths.....that is.

You are a strange one. You speak of a narrow path you won't define but then defend numerous paths and rail against “valid” religions...

Very strange...

OK, PE, you're confusing. It's obvious you have some religious standards. And it's obvious you concede false religion exists. In post #40, you said: Satans two tools: Having us believe that he doesn’t exist and False Religion.

Now are people supposed to speak out against Satan's false religion or not?

Furthermore, it's also obvious that you have some standards you try to impose upon others...otherwise you never would have said, "need some adjusting my friend" in post #88. Why say that right after you said you were against others who "have this need or desire to Invalidate another's belief" in post #82? So you want to "invalidate" the beliefs people have about cults by "adjusting" them?

And then, further more, you apparently want to "adjust" their beliefs by doing what you say shouldn't be done vs. JWs & others? You're supposedly against "ripping and tearing at another's belief" (#82), but you don't mind ripping and tearing at a person's belief that they are a Christian? (Your comments in posts #82..."you people who call yourselves Christians...only the 'so called' main stream Christians..."). Or apparently you don't mind ripping and tearing at others by name-calling ("piranhas" in post #72) or by implication labeling them a snake (venom is sourced from snakes...post 82).

(Or maybe we all missed Jesus' sermon on the other mount about how calling people "piranhas," "so called Christians," and venom-spewing snakes merged with what you said in post #40: “truly I bear them witness that the have a True love of God" and these labels are in reality endearments of "love"???)

What's "interesting" is that you critique the religious beliefs of others as being "plank-eyed" because of their critiques of the religious beliefs of others! (post #34) And then 16 minutes later, you critique the religious practices of Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Martin as power mongering and money making! (post #35) Boy, do you keep us guessing or what? If JWs are to be "off limits" as you have been preaching, Dr. Kennedy and Dr. Martin are "fair game"???

So inquiring minds want to know: Who "blessed" you with a trump card for critiquing the religious beliefs & practices of others, including critiquing the religious beliefs of others as they critique the religious beliefs of others?
Why is this "job description" something only you have? If others are not allowed to exercise it, who gave you this role?
