Mormon Or Jehovah's Witness?

Post #1

Post by SacredBishop »

I can't make up my mind. Should I be a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness. Both religions sound very reasonable to me, but unfortunately neither are in my city. I would have to move, but first I need to decide which religion is correct.

Joseph Smith or Joseph Rutherford? They were both extremely intelligent men, and certainly well respected by their peers. I know every other Christian denomination is horribly wrong, and full of heresies. Help me decide. Which religion is correct?

I believe the Bible predicted the church would be restored to glory in the 1800s in America. Both religions originated in the 1800s, thus my dilemma.

I believe blood transfusions are wrong, but I also believe that Jesus came to America and preached the Gospel. Decisions, decisions ..
Ever consider Scientology?

Do you know where the Bible did this. I'm not aware of any mention of America or the 1800s.

Song of Solomon 8:8 " we have a little sister and she has no breasts." This refers to the statue of Liberty, thus to America.

How about the 1800s. Did Solomon mention them somewhere?

The statue was given in the 1800s.

So where does the Bible predict the church would be restored to glory when the Statue of Liberty was given?

Why choose them, instead of Jesus? I think Jesus is much better choice and I recommend to be a disciple of Jesus.

For the life of me I can't see how "we have a little sister and she has no breasts" translates to the Statue of Liberty. And, if one reads the surrounding verses, that interpretation makes even less sense. There must be countless other ways of attributing that phrase. What about Joan of Arc for example?
George Orwell:: “The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Gender ideology is anti-science, anti truth.
