Bitch, you don't know me. I was raised as a JW. Bible study was mandatory. And not just once a week. More like everyday. I know the Scriptures backwards and forwards. This religion ruined my life. This is why I bother replying in every Christian thread. Because I want you guys to be free from the shackles of religion. /lit/ is the only reason I'm alive, I thought I owe you as much.

I just finished The Power and The Glory, and while The Brothers K has some great ideas about God and what it means to be a Christian, I felt that TPaTG was a more concise, personal book. I loved how the ending was ambiguous, and that the Priest was redeemed despite his shortcomings throughout the novel. I think that it is essential reading for any Christian.

Being raised a JW, does not give you real insight into Christianity. I know this from experience.

Dude, we literally studied the Bible from cover to cover. In depth. I got a better grasp of Christianity than you'llever have.

My ex brother in law was a JW, and the guy you're replying to is right. They take bible study very seriously.

Oh and nice spooks, fucking nerds.

[Anonymous No.9856517]

You suck at reading comprehension. I was raised a JW too, I know the seriousness of Bible study. I read the Bible cover to cover a couple of times growing up. I read all the books, Daniel's Prophecy, the Revelation one, etc (the list could go on). Reading the Bible while a JW is like taking a guided tour through NYC. You'll never truly understand the city with the guide. The governing body twists the words in the bible. The NWT has been modified to suit their doctrine.

>>9856490
Wow, great, your brother in law, ex at that, was a JW, I'm sure you understand the religion more than someone who was actually raised a witness.

There is a common theme among JWs and ExJWs alike. The have a huge ego, they think they're smarter than other people. Current JWs look down on both non JWs and ExJWs, thinking how could they not see that this is "the truth". ExJWs look down on current JWs and anyone who is religious, the think, how could they fall for this BS, I'm much smarter than they are.

The fucking irony here, coming from the sardonic little ex-JW who thinks he's got Christianity figured out better than everyone else, including all the other ex-JWs, who are all just bitter.

Why do you feed the retards with attention in these threads?
Why not talk about the actual topic?
I've been going through the Church Fathers this year, Athanasius is really interesting. Essential reading of course against Aryans and why the Trinity is necessary for a correct reading of the scripture. Justin Martyr is also the first Christian exeget to my knowledge and his Dialogue with Typhro (not sure what the exact name was, read translation into a Slav language) sets up both how the Old Testament builds into the New and how we should treat the Jews, something which Nostra Aetate wrecked and will need to be recovered.

>"This criticism is often brought up, therefore it's irrelevant"
Neck yourself, you abhorrent and filthy Catholic whore. The only reason why Catholicism is still relevant is because of shitty third world countries where people are still too poor to be properly educated. Look at the first world. The more educated a given populace, the less religious it is. Also, answer me one thing: was or was not Peter the first Pope?

no.2 clearly refers to longer business on the toilet bowl, such as benefits from the availability of a book

Oh, it's retarded. :(

Sure what's the use of natural philosophy as the base for the renaissance.
What's the use of Aristotle beeing so highly approved that going against him was seen as going against the orthodoxy and therefore paving the ground for you being able to shitpost on a taiwanese dakimakura collecting fan forum?
Let's just clearly show that you haven't any clue on medieval culture and just larp "muh dark ages" and supposed supression and burning because you've seen it on muh based black science man althought it never had anything to do with scientific thought.
