the real mee is one of Jehovahs witnesses i am my religion
maybe that is what people do not like the fact that i am bringing Jehovah to the fore. and the things in the bible .
In all brotherly love, no, you are not your religion. Nobody on G-d's earth is their religion. Your religion is your belief, your religion is not you.
What is more, you are not the only one here "bringing Jehovah to the fore." Look around, there's a whole bunch of us with the same basic idea sharing some of the very same concepts. We just see things a little differently from each other. I'm OK with that, most of us are OK with that. We've even made room for you for a long time. Nobody here is looking to convert you. By the same token, nobody here is looking to be converted, and are quite offended when you take a position to try to do that very thing.
So what is there to not like? I've already explained the repeated copyright violations. If you have to in order to get in the habit, post *both* the link and the author's name on those things you do not personally compose.
Or, in my opinion even better yet, say the same things in your own words. Exercise your own understanding of your beliefs and your religion. You really don't need to look to the corporate office everytime you have something to say, you are welcome here to speak freely by your own understanding. That is what builds a scholar. A scholar isn't someone who can quote chapter and verse of everything everybody else has written. A scholar learns from others, and then applies what they have learned to his or her own searches.
You tell me and others you have the truth. Well, then so do the rest of us. Or more truthfully, none of us have the truth, certainly not the whole truth, including you. I've already shown you at least one very significant place where your truth is not real, so if your truth is not reality is it still true?
We all struggle with things like this. I am not here to erode your faith. I am not here to erode anybody's faith. I am here searching and learning, and fellowshipping. I have no agenda, I have no corporate offices to answer to.
My witness is my life, I live my example...*that* is the real me. On the other hand the only thing the real Mee has shown us is that he or she knows how to cut and paste other peoples' work and post in such a way as to try to make themselves appear smart, or holy, or something grand. And the hint of "join with us or be doomed" is ever present.
And Mee likes flowers. What were they? Clematis? I thought to myself, this person has a human side after all. Wow, that is the person I would want to get to know. Not the person constantly preaching at me, about lessons I already learned years ago.
How about it Mee? Nobody here is asking you to abandon the Watchtower. What we are asking is that you leave it at home when you come here. Just bring yourself. You'll do just fine, you'll be OK. You are safe with us. We are your brothers and sisters, we love you just the way you are. There's just a few things we gotta put away, to protect this place where we gather. I hope you understand.
If not...we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I hope we don't have to.
