Jehovah's witnesses are a tiny group with an extremely depressing message, a message that makes God look terrible, and unbiblical solascriptura Doctrine, using an outdated ancient text as the Only rule of faith, when the Bible doesn't say anywhere to do that, using a text that is full of hatred...
Part of God's condemnation of the wicked is his word. That is also part of the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth of the wicked ones who are fake Christians.

Brother, am set in my own mind when it comes down to what is believed; you are doing a fine job sharing your own belief and along with scriptures that are very help to the community that may have never even seen those scriptures before. Our views on our belief may be different when it comes down...

The symbol is whatever we decide is going to be the symbol.
The cross is perfect because it is the instrument of torture and execution that Jesus endured for our sins. It is the symbol of the gospel above all others. We are not ashamed of the cross, we boast in the cross as Paul does (Gal 6)
I have explained more than twice why the cross is so important to Christians and I have clearly proven to you that Jesus died on a cross. I think you know that I am right, but it's hard for you to admit it. Anyone who is honest here and has read through everything will confirm that.
So your statement is false then.
Menorah and anointing oil are for example jewish symbols.
When someone uses something to symbolize another, is it their symbol? No it's not.
How is oil a Jewish symbol because they use it? How is it their symbol just because James used it symbolically?
So these...
We hate ourselves. God does not hate us.
However, if we leave God, he will leave us.
Some things can be hard though. Sometimes our childhood experiences make things harder, and sometimes we feel worthless. You are not alone. Countless people feel this way, or have felt this way before.

If there is one true God then why do you pretend to accept the Bible as his word? You have to pretend to do that because so much of Baha'i beliefs totally contradict the Bible. Why would God punish his people for false worship if they were all acceptable to him?
Let's see....
Yes, because the...
These are scriptural principles, as military terminology is liberally dispersed throughout the bible, and almost all subsequent writings, for over 2000 years.

Good topic @lioncub1503
Here are Paul's word to the Ephesians....prayer is part of our spiritual armor.
"Stand firm, therefore, with the belt of truth fastened around your waist, wearing the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having your feet shod in readiness to declare the good news of...
"I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his manifestation and his Kingdom: Preach the word; be at it urgently in favorable times and difficult times; reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all patience and art of teaching. For there will be a...
Yes, and even though at the time I was surprised to see it, because I THOUGHT that if I got sucked back into the body so would my astral form. However, it did not, so this experience taught me by direct verification that the conscious awareness is our essence, and the physical and astral or...
Ephesians 6
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this...
...for one thing a religion based on experiences? Consider, Are Experiences a Valid Form of Truth?
You are correct that one doesn't need someone else's approval. But,
