Quote Be nice.I know. Quote I remember is that you better kept your mouth shot or you would get shot. My Mother had to sign a paper that She would not have any more Children.And JW's had to sign a paper that said they were no longer JW's. And then they could go. It was that simple. Only a couple did.Quote I also find it so wrong to bring up…[Read more]

Quote Disfellowshipping is the sect’s equivalent of excommunication, though somewhat more harshI guess some say Hitler was never excommunicated because his very actions excommunicated him.  But this is ridiculous and not how the earliest non-Catholic Christians did it.  They actually “removed” the wicked man from among them.Hitler regarded him…[Read more]

Quote The actual abomination is not anything someone has done to a translation of the bible the true abomination is the molestation of the actual beliefs of the bible.Can I get an Amen?

Quote Most Witnesses used to be CatholicsCA, why do you think that is?

Quote They may be “disfellowshipped” for a variety of reasons, such as attending a Catholic or Protestant church or receiving a blood transfusion. Disfellowshipping is the sect’s equivalent of excommunication, though somewhat more harshSo, did you guys ever excommunicate Hitler? Wait, isn't there a picture of Hitler shaking hands with a bishop?…[Read more]

Quote The history of the Jehovah's witnesses is the result of the Catholic ChurchIt's crazy how many JW's were once Catholics. You'll find extremely few JW's who will ever become a Catholic. It just doesn't happen.So, CA, you've created a couple of these “bashing JW” threads. I'm guessing, partially to get people of YOUR back. There are two…[Read more]

“Atrocious, deceitful, and inaccurate” may be what some call the NWT, but such a characterization is completely erroneous. Nearly every message I have received since the Watchtower article came out has claimed that “all reputable scholars,” “every Greek or biblical scholar,” etc. has condemned the NWT. It often sounds like people are getting this…[Read more]

Quote You have some serious 'splanin' to do, buddy. Even though all these topics have their own threads, sure, pick a topic, and we'll discuss that topic. But I just ask that you not jump around from one topic to the other. Let's actually have a discussion.

Quote I'm planning on refuting you soundly using the Bible. Excellent.Quote Some of us have to work. I'm planning on refuting you soundly using the Bible. At one of our meetings a week ago, we had a discussion on stealing employers time by using the internet or talking on the phone. It's such a temptation.

Quote The point here is WHAT THE FATHERS SAID.So you have a problem with their logic. FINE.Just admit that they didn't teach what you FALSLY claim they taught.If their logic is the same as your logic, it is false. I only know what the Bible says. And both the Bible and logic agree.

Quote 1) Jesus did not die on a cross. He died on a pole, or a stake.2) The cross was not used by the early Christians.I didn't read your comments because they were 8 pages long and appear to be a copy of some book.But I did notice this.Why not discuss this in “cross” thread, where that very topic is discussed at length?

Quote But in all honesty we would not have a Bible if it were not for the Catholics, and he is right they seem to be the closest to the early Apostles and the original Church!The closest except in their beliefs, attitudes, conduct, actions, disciple, teachings, etc, etc etc…..

Let start with this:Augustine in his Retractions speaking about Matthew 16:18 and the “rock” in which the Church will be built upon: “In a passage in this book, I said about the Apostle Peter: ‘On him as on a rock the Church was built’…But I know that very frequently at a later time, I so explained what the Lord said: ‘Thou art Peter, and u…[Read more]

Quote You know, David, you were the guy I was tempted to stay on and debate. I think the moderator dude was getting under my skin. He's kind of hard to not get annoyed at.Sorry, Nick, you deserve the truth.As I said before, Nick is here to make us stronger, more patient. Consider him a precious gift that sharpens certain qualities. Quote Me:…[Read more]
