No problem my brother, that is how any reasonable people should react to JW teaching.

Courz:
Exactly. The anger he is feeling is the same anger every JW that wakes up feels. I can relate. 😀😀😀

Courz:
No. Read his other posts. He is exposing them. He is just explaining to the public the extent of the foolishness by personalising it to himself. Read his other posts.

wumiwumi100:
You can see that I sound very stupid with what I wrote, and this is what every JW member believes. I only personalized it in a sarcastic manner.

Lucifyre:
Your religious text can be used to justify any pov or perspective you want by interpreting whichever way u deem fit and its not nonsense?!

IMAliyu:
It's interesting how we've mostly all come to the conclusion that slavery and ownership of another human is immoral now a days, inspite of the Quran and Bible being permissive of it.

IMAliyu:
I
And things are slightly better for it, compared to the needless human suffering because of slavery in the past.

KnownUnknown:
Goddamn!!! I love you!

Courz:
Relax. The Op is not in support of the doctrines. He is only exposing their foolishness.


I am glad you could sense the stupidity in their doctrines from afar.

Lucifyre:
Comprehension issues as usual. Can't see where i mentioned followers🤦🏽. Anyways to make it clear for the "smart ones". If you can trace the origins of your religion be it followers of christ, holy or unholy spirit... whatever, back to Abraham your religion is major crap, EOD! 🤭

paxonel:
For anyone to reach state of perfection, that means he is all knowing.
But is there anyone like that, that is all knowing?
It's not possible.

Steep:
Depends on your definition of perfection, if it is moral perfection then no one can be perfect except Jesus but if it is the perfection in one's walk in faith in God years.

Abraham, Noah etc were not perfect morally but were perfect in their walk with God.

DeusXmachina:
However.
We've already established, that belief is not a matter of simple choice. Which makes that ask still unreasonable.

DeusXmachina:
People don't choose to not believe in your bible and it's claims because they're convinced it's true, but secretly hate it like you tend to alluded to.
They either belong to another religion with their own holy book, they believe is from God that makes a different set of claims and you're in the wrong to them. Or see it as another mythic religious book that makes claim that can't be substantiated.

This is a different topic tho, which will have to venture into what makes your own holy book and interpretation, the correct and true one the creator intended.
And what evidence you have that can show this beyond a reasonable doubt.

DeusXmachina:
So your rational is that "Your God has made his will known and that will is the Bible, and part of that will is belief in him and following the commandments in the Bible. Meaning the requirements for salvation is free and equally available to everyone."
Therefore belief, being your God's biggest requirement for salvation, is perfectly reasonable..."

DeusXmachina:
Depends on the individual.
Do you remember in 2014 during the ebola outbreak, when millions of Nigerians were convinced to bathe with salt in one night, and in 2020 when a number of people believed 5G signal was the cause of covid?"

DeusXmachina:
But I'll have to ask what type of deliberation?
From the examples I gave, these were people who were mislead, and believed something because they heard it from someone they may have trusted and also lacked the knowledge or tools to question it further.

DeusXmachina:
Most people's extent of deliberation of their religion is their parents believe in it and raised them in it, and parents usually know better.

Sirchiboy:
Some parents don't deserve to be alive.
They have ruined the lives of their kids by putting fears in their life and making their childhood a miserable one.

1Gospelblog:
Perfection is a concept that has fascinated humanity for centuries. From the pursuit of personal excellence to the striving for spiritual purity, the idea of perfection occupies a significant place in human thought. But when it comes to the sight of God, can anyone truly reach a state of perfection? This question has been the subject of much theological debate and contemplation, with various interpretations offered by scholars, theologians, and believers. Let's explore this topic, drawing insights from the Bible to understand what it means to be perfect in the eyes of God.

Lucifyre:
The Abrahamic religions are one and the same. Lot's of delusional nonsense sprinkled with violence.

Diego35M:
spiritually have no business with religion my brother, it was surprised people that have birth to the religion they you all practise...

Floky215:
Spirituality and Religion are two parallel lines...!!

Religion is man made for money and control.
.

Righthussle:
It's just good that you're thinking and asking questions about these things. Just some people just go ahead and accept wholeheartedly the religion they were born into.

My friend, keep on asking the "what if " questions?

Ask yourself
What if Islam is after all the right religion and others are wrong?

What if Christianity is the right religion and others are wrong?

What if it is Buddhism that is right and others are wrong and you're practicing the wrong religion?...

Squirrel1:
So I've been wondering if it's possible to be spiritual without been affiliated with any religion.

Like I don't want to be an atheist cause it's quiet scary.. what if u die and then u find God, weti u go con do?!

I want to just be reasonable about the entire things.

Share your thoughts guys

armchairscholar:
Reminds me of this post I read the other day: https://christianpure.com/learn/spirituality-vs-christianity-path-suits-you/

With that said, no one truly knows what happens after you die, that's what faith is about. I think you should live as if God exists because that will lead you to living a better life

Westerhoffe:
You keep calling me a mad person due to the difficulty you're encountering not succeeding in brainwashing me.
I'm a headache to you on this platform, and until you realize your heresy and errors, I'll continue to be.

Westerhoffe:
But you sure do agree that I have always been reasonable, only it offends your spirit that your errors keep getting exposed.

I should be the one angry, but you see, I'm not…

The bolded suggests I am either talking to a child or someone who should go back to school to know the meaning of speed, acceleration and how they relate with time.

My apologies for throwing you off with my error in stating liters instead of seconds.

But if you knew anything about cars, you would have known I was talking about seconds and not liters. Mention 0-100 to any car guy and he would be looking for seconds in timing.

Enjoy your very fast 190E benz.

TimiRume:
Also God is the judge of the whole universe. As humans, we forgive even our enemies and let God do the judging.

Imagine a world without judgment. Nations with the weakest justice systems are the most afflicted and impoverished.

PulsingPurple:
Exactly. Leave God to do the judging.
There's a reason why He is God. He is not our 'brother', but rather a King and Father.

Concerning our brothers and judgements, the Scriptures also go on to say, “Judge not, for you do not know the motive/causative factors behind people's actions.” (Paraphrased)
Hence, forgive, because you don't understand

There are many ways to look at the young man's question but why bother pouring water on a cock's back?
If he wants to learn, fine. But I'm suspicious of the young lad 😅

Balablue64:
Lol, God doesn't follow the rules he is like tilumgbu

Enemyofpeace:
Matthew 18: 21-22 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Can you imagine this conversation between Peter and Jesus? My question
How many times did Adam and Eve eat Apple in the garden of Eden before they were sent packing? I am just curious.

9icetoo:
NOT POSSIBLE!!!
