No need to assume (you know what they say about those who assume), just ask me whether I am a Jehovah Witness or not.
Are you a Jehovah Witness?

Emphatically no.

What religion are you/do you associate with?

I'm guessing Seventh Day Adventist... Survey says JIA?

Prove it. Don't you guys (and girls) see how asinine it is to ask someone to prove something? What you call proof someone can dispute and say is rigged or falsified. You can never truly know for sure that something is proven. In God's case I see proof everywhere present. No amount of cosmic explosion and frogs transforming into princes can ever lead me to believe in evo-LIE-tion. Say it ain't so JesusIsAlive, say it aint so. Templares, WERE YOU THERE when those findings were documented? No? (Incidentally, I am just using you guys' mode of thinking against you). So then what makes you so sure that it is accurate?

2. If this response were a valid challenge to evolution, it would equally invalidate creationism and Christianity, since they are based on events that nobody alive today has witnessed.

No, that is not it either.

I'm guessing some form of Pentacostal?

A Jew for Jesus then? Just say it...

The simple fact of the matter is that I cannot be pigeon-holed into any religion. Although those of us who believe in (i.e., are trusting in for salvation from sin) Jesus Christ are labeled as "Christians," we are truly just believers or disciples of Jesus.

Are you blind? I just did.

No, people asked you what religion/denomination you are and you answered with a bunch on noncommittal cr@p. 'People would label me a Christian..." They didn't ask how other people see you, but how you see yourself; so spill it Dodgey McDodger.

Nondenominational Christian would probably be an accurate statement of JIA's religious stance.

Is there a "Nondenominational Christian" Bible? Like the Mormoms have their own book.

Lol, no. They just interpret scripture as they will, and if someone disagrees, they are just wrong and you go to another church, if you go to church at all. Often they bounce from one congregation to another and stay as long as the doctrine taught fits their interpretation, if it doesn't they attempt to correct what they see as error and move on if the perceived error is maintained. I assume JIA is some version of this.

So they completely ignore doctrines and or facts if those said doctrines/facts do not fit their brickwall views? I see, that describes JIA perfectly. But when it comes to interpreting the Bible, I can't really rag on him for his own views of it.

Yes, their interpretation can change, but those that are like this typically do not change easily at all, if ever.

He'd have to substantiate this though, I am unsure if he would describe himself as this.

JIA seems kinda like an Eve Angelical to me.

My apologies. The reason I thought is that I know some JWs and they always use scripture in discussions, while the Chick website spoke a lot about 'Witnessing'. I put 2+2 and got 5 I guess! Apoligies again.
