I just cannot get my head round fanatical religious people and their over the top views!
We humans are still so bloody primitive in thinking!
Malachi Martin was killed by a demon, so they say. He was knocked down a flight of stairs, or a ladder or something and broke his neck.
It would not be proper to call him "father." Jesus said:
"Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One."-Matthew 23:9.
The title "pope" is Latin for papa (a term a kid calls their father). A flagrant disregard for Jesus' command to call no one your "father" and no one your leader on earth:
"Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called leaders, for your Leader is one, the Christ."-Matthew 23:9-10.
75 million were killed by 25 communist regimes vs approximately 30 million killed by 4 fascist regimes with over 91% of these deaths coming from just 4 regimes (2 communist Mao & Stalin; 2 Fascist Nazi Germany & Imperial Japan)

"this isn't a hate thread, i just happen to believe that trans people are possessed by literal demons using their bodies as focal points for Evil Magic in their quest to destroy the world. Also they are responsible for all of modern greed and pop music. Here's an extremely lurid pulp novella from the 70's! I am a reasonable person capable of a rational discussion on this matter!"
i guess there's nothing to really say, is there? Personally, i made medical decisions about my own body more than a decade ago that have proved to make me happier, healthier, and more capable of being a productive member of society, but it's not like anything remotely like a conversation can take place about that, is there? Where is the line of conversational compromise between ""this has proven by my own experience to be a good and wise decision for my health" and "YOU ARE CONTROLLED BY DEMONS TO END THE WORLD"?
Thanks for making us sound so damn metal, at least /m/

Admittedly that was a silly stunt. Speaking intelligently on the matter at hand would have been more appropriate.

I do not hate the JW, but I have been critical of some of the beliefs. Many believe you to be a member of a cult, personally I really don’t know. Christians as a whole have been painted with the same brush I believe.
All members of an organized religion believe theirs is the one true religion. Who’s correct? We all want to draw near to the source. Is there only one way to do that? JW say they have the true path, the RCC say no, we do. The message is pretty much the same. To you, Jehovah is God. You call him by name. To me it’s God the father almighty. We don’t use his name out of respect. Which one of us is wrong? Or are we both trying to explain a being that is beyond our comprehension.
Many of the restrictions on life in the JW are based in Mosaic law. At least that’s been my understanding. I may be wrong about this. From here on you will get no attacks from me, but I reserve the right to question, it’s who I am.
Just to throw a wrench in things, the Jews are Gods chosen people, not the JW, or the Christian.
