I am a Jenovah’s Witness, I believe in the all mighty Altana and her blessings in the form of the one winged angel.

John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, the life. No man comes to the father but by me.

Religion is an anodyne to spiritual growth.

Well, I guess we’d better throw that freedom of religion nonsense out the window. Can’t trust those darn people, can we?

At the same time as freedom of speech I suppose.

Any Catholics or Protestants want to point out where Jesus says it's really The Church?

They’re out there, that’s for sure.

It’s gotten to the point where Jesus is just a window dressing in a bid to give His stamp of approval to whatever religious system that person is promoting.

That's like trying to incite an argument over whether the carpenter or the hammer strikes the nail.

The Church does nothing apart from Jesus (he said so, with absolute clarity); Jesus chooses to save through His Church.

You mean other than the church being the place where Christians gather?

Hardly. More like depraved humans falling for the same old lies after rejecting the one true God as revealed in God’s Word. At the heart of Sheilaism is the desire to do life on one’s own terms, to be the captain of one’s own soul. It is the sin of Adam in the garden. It is the same sinful cycle the nation of Israel fell into time and again through the Old Testament: Reject the King of Kings and do your own thing.

Same old stuff: In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. - Judges 21.25

May God Bless America in spite of herself. Amen.

May God succor the whole world. Thank you for posting this.

Seems Hudson and Landry had this idea a long time ago, but their “religion” was Frederickism. Who’s Frederick? That’s me, Freddie Schultz! Do you have any commandments? 26. We get you coming and going. I looked for a video on YouTube, but it’s not there.

Sheilaism = relative morality
It's a sin of arrogance/pride: I know better than God what to believe and how to live.

Or

If it feels good, do it.

Or
