Religion & Spirituality - 21 October 2007

One day as I was going to school, on the bus, a Jehovah's Witness sat next to me. She then gave me a handout of their religion. She went on to explain her religion. She even told me that if I ask any prisoner what his religion is, it certainly isn't Jehovah's Witness. She even went so far to tell me that her religion is the only TRUE religion. What's your opinion? Is she telling the truth? Oh, and I'm not interested in converting to Jehovah's by the way...

Some say that their goal is simply to spread Islam and force it it upon the world. Others say that it is political and it's purpose is to try and stop the Western world from controlling the Muslim world.

So what is the real deal? What is their goal?

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?---Martin Luther (Germany)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did...
If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.----Martin Luther

Martin Luther: [ in his last sermon, four days before he died, ] called for practical measures: burn their synagogues, confiscate all books in Hebrew, prohibit Jewish prayers, force them to do manual labour, and drive them out of Germany.

“I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

Blacks/Gays are have a history of being hated by White America! We even call the Presidents house the "White House" and never had a Black/Gay President.

Further many of the Presidents have been Baptists and now the Ku Klux Klan is headed by Baptists. Even Fred Phelps Esq., an American Baptist leader is speaking out against the Blacks/Gays.

These are close to Christmas and Easter. look Guys, you do not whorship Jesus Christ...Christ-Mas it is about Christ what is so hard to understand? With the Jewish it is their Hanukkah that is celabrated at the same time. And I just don't get why the remembrance of Christ's Resurrection your Hoilday? With the Jews their Holiday that is around the same time as our Easter is Passover.

..i saw the mouvie..''A beautiful mind''...and that genius..called schyzofrenic.we the christians know that satan can change the reality and make a man feel like in the moon even, like in the mountyains when he is at the seaside..etc..

we know that satan is our biggest enemy, that he came to tempt even Jesus who is God, part of Holly Trinity,
We know that the church is also an authority , and that there is no medicine book where you can find the word'' demonized'', ''posessed by demons''..or troubled by demons..or tempted by demons..
.Saying as a a truth that a man is schizofrenic when he actually has bif fights with the demons, what is called in ortodox christianity '' the unseen war'', it is like you tell a lie, hiddding the truth behind this lie..

and this lie takes the people to hell..

Why are people relying on churches, pastors, prophets, each other to show them the truth? Can't you go into your prayer closet and recieve the truth in silence and meditation? And why, if you disagree with any of them, they become angry and impatient with you? The Bible was full of old prophets that were by themselves in the dessert and God spoke to them there.

Think about this as you attend church today. There is so much "stuff" that the Christian religion stuffed into the practices and rituals and dogma and expectations of Christians that the life you live is far and away un-Christlike.

This is such a stupid question. If i saw it on here, I would laugh!

I want to believe in God but I can't. I've tried but I can't. I feel like I have this emptiness that can only be filled by this...
I'm prepared to give up anything, this is how strongly I want to...

You'll tell me that by asking this question, I must believein God a little bit but I don't. I'm probably just wanting to brainwash myself....who knows....

I don't even understand my own question...

If you can help me, I'd be grateful.

Does it cause "exclusivity withdrawal" among some believers?
