    Speaking of idolatry, biblidolatry (worship of the Bible) is a much greater problem than reverence for the cross. I realize that you're just spouting JW dogma, and are essentially a broken record, mindlessly parroting the Watchtower, when it comes to discussing anything. At least when you go door to door, people can shut the door in your face if they think your message is tiresome. As to which of us your dictionary definition supports, I think the readers can see that for themselves.

    oh ,oh . i just started a relief carving on a stone . the idea started with swirls and a dog and a rabbit , but
    now that i'm committed to an image i see that it is a little country church , a cross on top . the opening door
    is looking rather female at the moment . i think the dog and rabbit may reappear , and then an owl might just
    as well fly in to sit upon the most convenient and sensible perch . oops . would that be a fish ?

    i've had a certain crazy religious woman on my mind lately . she has been my student in Prayer Language for
    a month now . crazy is interesting to me , and she's mostly very nice . her religious bent is Gnostic , that is ,
    free-thinking and somewhat maddening to anyone who has to hear her talk from that context . at best she
    rages poetic . then she cries softly . then we might have another beer . sometimes the goat walks in the
    door to find a cracker . just doesn't like me looking at her though . so i gaze away politely .

    Probably one of the many symbols religion uses to remind people to watch their asses. Kind of reminders to get with one of the programs and to not forget why they better do so.

    not a word, I googled it..not one match, you just cant make up your own words to suit yourself..



    Those are some strong charges..where is your proof?


    instead of attacking me, attack the Bible..but you cant attack the bible cause you have no real evidence otherwise. You speak deceptive lies and dishonor Jehovah God

    The Apostle Paul said it best:

    Colossians 2:8

    See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

    but it does not work, the cross as a remembrance of Jesus means nothing..you want to know about Jesus? and what he taught? and what he went thru while here on earth?..read it in the Bible..it explains it all in detail

    Scratcho, I judge you to be a man full of Libertarian and Socialist interests, but what a meanie you are now. The truth of the matter is that for Reagen the cross was just that, a darn cover up for the disagreements of sucking up to eastern ideologies. These only ad to their disgrace at Revisionism. Now the Chinese just want to keep up that discussion for the beliefs that this was all for their greed to require and somehow still is human nature to their adherence to western history.

    a jehovah`s witness is welcome in my home , which is a farm .
    here i'd rather we speak of the The Peaceable Kingdom . they
    always enjoy this and then go on happy down the dusty road .
    sometimes i'll tell them of when they were all in a dream i'd had .
    yes - there they were , every witness in the world , and it was a
    story dream that's so easy to tell . but not often .

    i spose to a gnostic j'witness art is very important - an idol at
    least being awfully inferior disrespectful inadequate art and for
    anyone to worship it proves that .

    i'd never , never ask anyone if they be gnostic .

    You would like that, huh? But the bible is open to interpretation and not in people's face on a forum, bothering people with onesided arguments. Guess who is :p

    I'm sorry to say but frankly you are making yourself look like a pathetic troll. He is not looking to attack the bible and it is not about evidence.

    It's about interpretation and everything that was to say about that was said certainly after you posted that dictionary definition.
    There is not a problem with being a minority where it comes about a certain view at all, unless you can't deal with that and the fact you have to agree to disagree.

    Well you see the idolatry of the "CROSS" is about the whole interneted communication in the computer. It is interpreting adequately the universe of the man/God; science/Nature ideally out and beyond for the government's success story.

    really? I am bothering you in my own thread?



    Since I did not attack you, why are you attacking me? Do you not believe in Free of Speech or Freedom of Religion?

    Whatever lulls you to sleep, you underestimate Jehovahs power

    Interpret this scripture: these are Jesus words recorded by the apostle John

    Keep in mind the word I said to you: A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours. But they will do all these things against you on account of my name, because they do not know the One who sent me


    What kind of faith would I have if I did this?

    Friend, it is to be expected..Hebrews 4:12 says:

    For the word of God is alive and exerts power, and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints from the marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is not a creation that is hidden from his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of the one to whom we must give an account.

    I simply say what you make yourself look like according to how you post on here.

    Like I said before, you can't be taken seriously because you have proven yourself to be deceptive and make threads with typical trolling characteristics. You probably don't have any faith in a god at all (which would be fine with me).

    When I said that you make yourself look like a pathetic troll it was not ment as an insult. Simply an observation.
    If you would be sincere you can't blame me for thinking that you're trolling. If you don't want to look like you're trolling you could also take it to heart as advice.

    Do you regard a love for insulting as something particularly christian? That would be rather typical.
