If I remember correctly, you said to Dive that the likelihood for finding other groups as True Christians as you, (JWs) is as likely as time travel, or words to that effect. Which seems to me to be pretty unlikely - unless you are even more weird than I think you are!
If you can show many groups which fully comply with the criteria then do so.
Well, I said our group, for one.
Then, some Baptists, some Methodists, some Episcopalean, some Anglicans, etc etc. Also, some Buddhists, some Hindus, some Muslims, some Native Americans, etc etc. You get my point?
Whether I comply to these principles or not is my affair, not yours.
Of course, that point is not being disputed.
But the products of your "complied with principles" are out there in the open, for all to see. As Jesus famously commanded: By their fruits you must judge them.

Despite some confused Christians claiming otherwise, the choices are not Christian or atheist.
Even assuming that you were correct that divegeester is not a Christian, and you are not in any position
to make that claim, that does by no means automatically make him an atheist.

Simply not meeting your requirements of being a 'true Christian' tm doesn't mean anything.
"Lack" simply means a "deficiency or fault," from the much earlier Old Frisian lek "disadvantage, damage."
Not so sexy now, is it?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieI made no such insinuation Robert, you're reading too much into my question. I was curious as to where your petty, childlike name calling in the Clan Forum fits into your Christian perspective.
I am not trying to pretend anything despite your lying assertions, Proper Knob insinuated that i could not be a true Christian because i called people names, i merely pointed out that Jesus also called people names and neither you or him can state whether that also means that Jesus is not a true Christian, so now here is your chance.
Tell us divesgeester does Jesus calling people names make him a true Christian or not?
Also, as I said in my previous post, I am well aware what the Clan Forum is for, that's not the issue. The issue is why, as a grown man and father of children, are you in there acting like a bellend? Surely it's a setting that a self declared 'ordained minister of God' should be above?
