Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 11 2008,06:37)Hi DK, You should not confuse christianity with churchianity.You are right…but I am not talking about “church” I am talking about “faith”

Quote (meerkat @ Dec. 11 2008,06:30)DK,I have been where you are and agree that the scriptures that the Jews have preserved are not as clean as they would like to make out.As I was told once – don't throw out the baby with the bath water.  Jer 8:8 How do ye say, We wise, and the law of the LORD with us?

Quote (dirtyknections @ Dec. 03 2008,02:37)This is directly out of the watchtower….”David”explain this view of blood from the bible if you will…See…. http://www.ajwrb.org/for an in-depth examination of the JW view on blood… David is leaving out 3/4 of what he REALLY believes…start with this…[Read more]

the reason he does not want to address it is because the JW's leadership aka Governing Body..says that only they (them and the so called anointed i.e. 144,000) are Jesus brothers…and he is the mediator only for them..therefore they take the emphasis off Jesus in the NT and try to elevate the JW leadership into that role…you ever wonder why…[Read more]
