>You're in a cult How is worshipping the true God mean I am in a cult? There is no correlation between the two >The supernatural has not been proven to exist. That's kinda of an absurd thing to say, since a supernatural event would lie outside the boundaries of science. It's logically impossible for science to rule out any hypothesis that lies outside its boundaries. Do you agree what you said was therefore irrelevant? >However, a neurosciencist, John C Wathey removed the antitheism from my body bc I understand the feeling of God's presence is just left over neonatal urges. https://www.amazon.com/Phantom-God-Neuroscience-Reveals-Compulsion/dp/1633888061 God is a real person though, since he created the universe. Do you believe the universe popped into existence from nothing? Isn't that an absurd claim? >Community & stories will moral teachings are good for society, but you could get the same from a church (i know, i know "cRhIsTeNdoM") about Spiderman or Batman It's more than this, Jehovah God is nicknamed "Father" because he cares for us as his children. He wants us to have a relationship with him. Why would you not want to become Jehovah's friend? >You need to learn that paragraph breaks are your friend. You are not allowed to look outside you religion, but if you did, you would find another path. What does that even mean? I have books, I can talk to people, I already know what is outside my religion, and none of these offer everlasting life. Only Jesus can. Are you calling Jesus a liar? >I wish you well, but your religion causes nothing but suffering Nobody said being a Christian was easy, in fact Jesus said that his followers will have to take up their torture stakes. Suffering actually proves that we live in Satan's world, so didn't you just vindicate my religion? >LITERALLY EVERYONE ALIVE IN 1914 IS NOW DEAD, LMAOOO Some are alive in Heaven actually. Isn't that great? >"STAY ALIVE UNTIL 75" Jehovah never said that, how is that relevant? A JW speaker did say that apprently, but our beliefs are not based on what he says, but on what the Bible says. >your "religon" sucks the joy out of everything. Why do you assume I'm not joyous? I am very joyous actually >https://www.bible.ca/Jw-NWT.htm This link has been debunked: https://myaiua.blogspot.com/2009/01/scholarly-quotes-on-new-world.html. What now? >I will absolutely NOT apologize. You're supposed to apologize when it's been demonstrated that you have lied, no?
