I think I may have developed a multiple personality disorder trying so many versions of his teachings.
I was born a Catholic, and Mom is very devout. Went to Church 3-5 times a week since I was a kid, and the Church Channel was used as a weapon. I hated religion.
Then over a span of about 10 years or so, I did end up going to church a few times. Still basically clueless, with enough information to be dangerous.
So one day I sat and tried to group single lines together to have the bible prove that Satan was God.
Kind of Like having sliders that would allow the being to be invisible or have scales or have fly eyes, what ever right?
The Genome project was rather established, and science was able to boot customized DNA into dead virus cells.
It was just a matter of processing the Custom DNA strand though a series of Acids to get the form into shape.
The End of the World freaks kept getting my curiosity, so I would have to look it up to see what they were talking about.
So I found the Text to the Bible, and formatted it with the computer into an audio, then enhanced the sound to 500%.

And when I was confronted with it, I realized what I had said and did not want to believe that it came from me.
They called me preacher man, and I lost respect from almost everyone that I knew because of my facebook postings.
So I was in church the next morning. and the Praise Team was on stage, and the speaker was very passionate about Jesus.
As soon as that thought came into my head. One of the church ladies in the Isle to my right stood up and started to speak in tongues at me.
I think I ended up almost halfway across the church and back. I even ended up rolling up the stairs.
A group of people came to me and I remember standing and declaring extremely loud at the pastor that I loved him.
I remember next I had three people holding me up, and someone saying there should be an interpretation.
I lucked out though, a few months later an evangelist came to the church, and others ended up rolling around as well.
I really recommend reading the book of Wisdom out loud though. I know its a Catholic book. But if you do you will know what I mean.
Also to label them as my first two experiences is kind of off. God has been doing things in my life from the beginning. These are the first two for me to think of while we have been talking.
The Book of Wisdom is found in the Septuagint but Not in the MT. So it is not found in the King James Version.

I recently noticed a question on Christianity.SE that talked about whether or not in the pre-Cana, the non-virgin was allowed to be married in the Catholic Church. I assumed that it was talking about the Roman Catholic Church, and I also removed the personal aspect from it. I liked the intent of ...

@TRiG I know you are an ex-Jehovah's Witness, but since you have experience with the culture in the denomination, you may be able to answer my latest question on disfellowshipping and shunning within that denomination. Sort of. However, I think a good answer of the question must be aware of the possible conflict between the East Asian filial piety and Christianity (JW-style).

@TRiG I once read an article online that talked about how a Taiwanese family discovered that their daughter became pregnant. The parents were both doctors and devout Christians, but unlike American Christians, they actually had no problems with abortion. In that case, abortion was considered okay, because the social consequences of having a baby out of wedlock were worse: namely, not being able to find a spouse. Likewise, could there be a division between East Asian JWs and Western JWs?

@waxeagle I understand. By current standards, India has pretty much tried to rub off the secular part of it's constitution but I assure you, hindustan may be ruled over by a hindu party but only because people wanted a change.

@Nick Laws and rules are considered functionality. The reason God did not want us to determine functionality, is because once functionality is designed, error can occur. The emotional result from one determining functionality or determining error. Is what causes the death.
The Laws of Motion state that as you point out "errors" that you consider to be errors, and tell them to others. Others that consider what you do as error, will point it out to others. For this is the opposite and equal reaction.
If he would not want someone preaching to him at work, then he should not preach at work. Yet if he would want people to preach to him at work, then he should preach at work. This is the perfect application of the Law.
