Paradise Cafe Discussions - A Place For Bible Research And Christian Encouragement

I did get the answer that I was curious about through the method advised by the admin.

When a very young man I attended many different churches with my parents encouragement. They seldom went to any church and did not point me in any particular spiritual direction even though I constantly questioned them.

By the time I reached my late teens I gave up looking.

I found it difficult to go to church and ignore both the blatant and subtle hypocrisies and injustices while they shook their hands and slapped each other on the back after the sermons, hymns and prayers had ended.

My examination of and interaction with church goers on the Internet and in real life continues to convince me that my initial perceptions as a young teenager are still valid.

In my early forties I though it might change when a Jehovah's Witness knocked on my door the first time.

Even though I am now disfellowshipped I do not regret it.

The closest I have come to finding the truth is by measuring the Watchtower transgressions against biblical end time prophecy and finding that it fits in a very profound way.

For me, being in the wilderness outside the camp is the right place to be considering the time period I believe we are living in.


In Christ

:giggle: Did I hear right? Or did something get lost in translation? I think Talky is saying that you still wear the crown. :king: :haha:

:rofl:

You must be much smarter then I am :jawdrop: , because I can't make heads or tails of what Talky wrote there. :crazyeyes: This seems to be a regular occurrence. :hypno:

It would seem a regularity upon which Talky speaketh in diverse and sundry unknown tongues, whereof I, not myself being instructed in the speech of said tongues of unknown origin, must needs acquireth an interpreter for mineself for the continuance of these manifold conversations. :argue: :D
