Can I refuse to kill? Yes, I can. I am not controlled by anyone or anything, which can not be said of you. Thinking you have to be a JW to not kill is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. I have never killed anyone, or anything, unless you count fish. I do love to catch, kill, and eat fish. Presumably, your Jesus has no problem with me feeding my family though.


My opposition has nothing to do with you book or your God, but your people. Your people who think they are better than everyone else. Your people who spend their lives bothering others at home. Your people who have no desire to be educated or have any part in our world. Your people who think they should be able to legislate others lives. Your people who turn their backs on their family because they broke free of your nonsense. I could go on all day, but you aren't that important, and at the end of they day, your brainwashing will hold and you will continue to be willfully ignorant.


I sincerely hope my words are helping people "stand in opposition to God's will". You know why? Because that means I am helping people break the chains and join the rest of us here in reality. It means I am helping people realize that they should enjoy THIS life, since nothing is guaranteed after it. It means I am helping people realize that a book shouldn't rule their life. It means I am helping people learn.



There are many like you-- walking the broad and spacious path---very sad.

My sect would say the same thing about you.

Every sect and cult thinks that they are the Chosen Few, and that Everyone Else is in league with The Enemy or The Devil.

Sad, isn't it?

Lost souls, even before they die.

The teachings of Jesus prove who is who. Few know what he taught.

I would imagine, probably for the same reason there is not only one culture or one language.

The teachings of Jesus prove who is who how? You use the word "prove". I'm not asking you to prove but could you show us how and where Jesus proves this?

Matt 6:33-- Therefore, keep on seeking-FIRST- the kingdom and his(YHWH) Jehovah) righteousness and all these other things will be added to you( sustenance, covering, spirituality)


Matt 5:5-- Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth.( not heaven or hell as ones end.)


John 20:17, Rev 3:12--Jesus teaches he has a God, like we do-his Father. So do his real teachers--Paul-2Cor 1:3, 1Cor 8:6, 1Cor 15:24-28) Peter at 1Peter 1:3--John at Rev 1:6


Jesus teaches--John 17:1-6,26-- The one who sent Jesus( Father-John 5:30) is THE ONLY TRUE GOD., and one must know him and know Jesus to get eternal life. Verse 6=YHWH)Jehovah, 26=YHWH) Jehovah


The Lords prayer--Hallowed be thy( Father) name=( YHWH)Jehovah--last line--The KINGDOM, POWER, and GLORY all belong to the Father.


John 4:22-24= the only true God-Jehovah.


The real gospel that Jesus taught.

The real gospel that Jesus taught.
As presented by individuals who had no personal knowledge of the supposed events. That's like me now writing about Nixon's meetings so many years after the fact and not knowing the tapes existed. I could write anything, and if it is the first writing based on rumors that others told me, how accurate would they be?

OK you win. I didn't understand a word that was being said. Or rather, the words I understand but the way they were strung together I don't understand.

Can you explain this one please.
