i think it more than covers your point.
Please note we are not talking of persons of other religions, we are talking of Christians. i.e. those who profess to be disciples of Christ. Christ stated, 'you will know you are my disciples, by the love you have among YOURSELVES', Its a fairly simple act to look at how they behave and see the types of ...[text shortened]... world.
Thats why our dear Friend Raji Paji makes us so happy, we really should thank him 😀
HEY!! Robbie! This is my thread and I did not say "christian false prophets" now, did I?
I still dont see how your reply "more than covers my point".

We not only don't kill our own but would never kill anyone. As a general rule we don't even own guns unless they are needed for food.
And the negative charge has been explained in detail by Robbie but it seems Raj's direction in life is to sensationalize what ever he can about anything he does not agree with. He does that to all of us.
And Raj has no ...[text shortened]... And Raj does not understand and grasp that simple assignment all Christians should be doing.
I believe some call it disinformation...at best. The real truth is in there soomewhere, but I bet the bulk of that truth is more "walking" than "taking". You know what I mean? You seem to get so bogged down on how you appear on the surface, while claiming that you are not hung up on materialism. The JWs I've met seem just as materialistic as the other members of my community. There seems to be a contradiction between the way you "walk" and the way you "talk".
The more spiritually attuned a person is the more internally consistent they are - in my experience.

Phew! Lucky your not the antichrist, RajK, old buddy 🙂
a dunce, a Pharisee, a false prophet, a real prophet, immature, nosy, classless, without manners and protocol, indecent, a fool and stupid,
i see you were prepared to simply gloss over his 'imperfections', well, no one can accuse you of being, ahem, well, partial. DO tell me what 'Christian quality', our friend was displaying when he proffered these insults.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou know what? I see plenty of people from theist and athiest backgrounds alike pointing out flaws in the JWs doctrine...I hardly think anyones ganging up. You just get more defensive if one poster happens to agree with another posters view. You seem to think that this is kissing a$$ or something.

Originally posted by karoly aczelWhat you like Karoly is what Christ taught. I always just tell people what Christ said to do and to believe. Its a simple and straightforward doctrine. And those people with good hearts will take to the words of Christ like a thirsty man to water.

What most contemporary religions do is to twist the Bible and form their own opinions, which they then call truth. The JWs in particular are flawed in that respect. Christ never said 90% of what they preach, and yet they claim to preach the gospel of Christ.
My advice to you is to stick to what Christ said and you will be fine. Go tell others as well what Christ said. James summarises it nicely in this passage:
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Does anyone preach anything resembling that these days ?
