Lamb, I send you the words of Rabbi Zusya of Hanipol. ..." When I die and go to the world to come, they will not ask me, Zusya, why were you not Moses? They will ask me : Zusya, why were you not Zuysa ? "... Be Happy :) Be Your Self :) Go Forth :) To Heal A Fractured World :)
32. Cult - Religion
ben ,   singapore   (03.04.07)
I think. in a CULT persons looses everyting including the self./ persons too In RELIGION persons Finds his/her self as such also finds G-d in them . Orthodox Judaism is a Religion . It is essential to Pray against missionaries but also subject to : The UNIVERSAL VALUE of MICAH ! ..For let all people walk everyone in the name of his god, AND WE (Jews) WILL WALK IN THE NAME OF THE LORD G_D FOR EVER AND EVER. Choose Your Path .:) ben :)) singapore
33. I don't want anything to do with Missionaries.
Esther ,   Ofarim, Israel   (03.05.07)
This is another thing I love so much about being here in Israel: not to have to worry about anyone trying to "save" me. I can respect if someone is happy with their faith, and I am happy for them. But I don't want anyone shove it down my throat. And if anyone continues to browbeat me, I respond with a quote by Binjamin Disraeli: 900 Years of Christian Love has made the Jews a Nervous People.
34. Well said.
K ,   Mobile, AL USA   (03.05.07)
The JW also teach that Jesus and Satan are brothers. This is a far cry from Christianity.
35. JW's
K ,   Mobile, Al USA   (03.05.07)
The JW are not recognized as a Christian group. They are a cult. They are no more Christian than Scientologists.
36. I hope the Rav's prayers are answered

Enough Jewish souls have falling
37. It is smelling bad tonight! Lots of
Blues ,   Portland, USA   (03.06.07)
hypocrites venting poison gasses on the talkbacks! Jews calling Christians murderers based on actions during the dark ages, seemingly forgeting their own tainted ancient (and more recent) actions. One Christian "cult" calling JW's a non-christian "cult" because they don't conform to their point of view on the nature of God. Jews wanting to deny Christians the ability to visit the holy lands, but maintain open hands to accept financial and military handouts from these same good people. I'm not a JW, but I know some, they are decent people.
38. If Jehovah is for something
Ada ,   USA   (03.09.07)
If Jehovah is for something and you go against it. You are really going against him. Do you really want to be guilty of that? Jehovah has always been for his messengers. They are his witnesses to this world. JWs like Jehovah, love everyone who listen to Jehovah and are doing good. Will you please post mine? Thanks! Hope everyone is having a great day, Ada
39. what a SHAME!!!!!!
lucas ,   new york   (04.11.07)
RELIGIOUS LEADERS ALWAYS A CAUSE FOR MORE WAR THAN PEACE. LET GOD FIGHT HE DOES NOT NEED THE HELP OF IMPERFECT ONES WHO HAVE POOR JUDGEMENT.
40. JW's are not a cult
Phil ,   Jacksonville, USA   (05.08.10)
At least, not according to several secular definitions. JW's: • Acknowledge that at one time the Israelites were God's chosen people. They lost that title when it's religious leaders, on behalf of the Israeli people, denied Christ. This is verified by Jesus own words (Luke 13:35) • Reject birthday celebrations because the only birthday celebrations mentioned in the Bible were those of pagan worshippers who put themselves in direct opposition to God by claiming to be "god on earth." • Do not accept blood transfusions because it's a Biblical command to "abstain from blood." We do, however, accept as many non-blood medical alternatives as can possibly be offered to us. Not accepting one treatment out of a possible 100,000 is good... especially when that one is responsible for blood-borne pathogens like HIV, AIDS, HEP C and other diseases. • We accept ALL government as long as their rules do not go against God's laws. We pay our taxes, we follow legal rules and restrictions and we do so with a smile. Jesus HIMSELF told us to pay our taxes, so we do so joyfully! Jehovah's Witnesses do what they do because they not only BELIEVE in Christ but follow his footsteps closely. Jesus sent his disciples by twos to bring the good news of God's kingdom to the people. We do the same. And we use the name that Jesus used when reading from the scroll of Isaiah (where Jehovah's name in the form of the Tetragrammaton is used twice). I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. And I sanctify Jehovah's name and promote his kingdom interests as Jesus explained I should do at Matthew 6:9, 10.
