Hmmmmmm interesting handle.
You said Jesus didn't abandond the ship. That's right, what Jesus did was to expose the Pharisees for what they really were, liers, arrogant men, men who loved power, men who were hypocrites, men who claimed to have the answers, but Jesus didn't join them, he didn't pretend they were right, he EXPOSED THEM for what they were. He didn't hold back, he let them have it with the most powerful force on earth, THE TRUTH.
He used God's word to show the world what hypocrites these MEN really were.
You stated the following:
"and not YOU and your anti-religious, Bible hating, Bible criticizing constituents present on this board".
Pretty strong words there old buddy, can you prove them? You don't know any of us, so how can you condem us in such a way? What your doing is the thing most of us here hate so much. You are putting yourself above everyone else. You are judging people you don't even know. Why? Simply because we saw the hypocricy in the organization and we left? The bible tells us to get out of her, false religion, and we did that. Your own magazines tell everyone to check it out and make sure what you are being told is the truth. We did that.
You sound like a multitude of JW's who have been here already. Ones like Jim Darnall, Rifle, Practicus, Scooby, Alan, FJW, and of course Fred Hall. When you can't PROVE your religion is right, you start slaming the individuals. It is an old trick, and it don't cut it pard.
You use the handle PROOFPOSITIVE, well why don't you start showing us some of this PROOF? Show us beyond a shadow of a doubt that YOUR ways is right, and ours is wrong. Can you do it?
In my own personal opinion Jesus was not a reformist. He came to set things straight. He didn't waste time, he condemed the Pharisees from the begining. Did he suggest that his followers follow the Pharisees until they reformed? Did he go door to door preaching the falsehoods of the Pharisees? Did he sell their literature so they could continue to grow? Did he go to 5 of their meetings a week and listen to their lies? Did he take his followers to their conventions and sit there for 3 days soaking up their propaganda?
Judging from the words coming out of YOUR mouth, you should go over to witnesses.net. They think your way over there! NO questions, NO thinking, NO answers!
Best regards.
