"Interest" yourself? LOL Nice beard! Welcome

So when your organization quotes the past, it's okay, right? When you go to the JW website, there are magazines, brochures , books and booklets that go back to he 1950s, but that's okay, unless I or someone else quotes those same resources. BTW ... I guess you should stop quoting the Bible...

Who said anything about universalism? I do NOT believe in universality. The scriptures are cleat, the ransom gives everyone the opportunity for salvation, but not everyone will avail themselves of it.

Have they never? The Watchtower describes itself as the "modern-day" prophet. "So, does Jehovah have a prophet to help them, to warn them of dangers and to declare things to come? These questions can be answered in the affirmative. Who is this prophet? ... This "prophet" was not one man, but...

You're right, Russell never did, but his so-called successors did. The scriptures condemn false prophesying in God's name. The Watchtower notes that predicting a date for the end of the world amounts to false prophesy, if it does not come true. "True, there have been those in times past who...

We just disagree on who that slave is. I believe it's an individual, you believe it's a class, a class that constantly changes and ironically, with each new member of this class, comes changes in beliefs. Let me ask, what was the purpose of appointing that servant? In the parable, our Lord...

The Bible teaches that Jesus was an exact equivalent to Adam. Adam chose to sin, and as a result, all humanity, represented in him, also sinned, as stated in 1 Timothy 2:14 and Romans 5:12-14. Jesus' death was meant to address the consequences of Adam's deliberate sin, which made both Adam and...

Today, all around the world Jehovah's Witnesses will be gathering in Hal k s and rented rooms to observe the Memorial aka passover / communion. Most JWs do not partake of the bread and wine as they believe ONLY 144,000 are spirit-begotten and going to heaven. My question (and this isn't a...

It would seem that the "food at the proper time" came when he returned, not a constant changing of it. Tell me, when will the truth fully be restored? No, you cling to a group of men who claim to be prophets, speaking for Christ Seems the ones pushing ahead are your governing body, who are...

So they die spiritually and not physically? We'll have to agree to disagree on that one.

I did a search and found this on the JW.org site. It’s lesson 12 of the WHAT DOES GOD REQUIRE OF US - Showing Respect for Life and Blood “Is it wrong to accept a blood transfusion? Remember, Jehovah requires that we abstain from blood. This means that we must not take into our bodies in any way...

Where did I say disfellowshipping was unscriptural? All I have said is that the Society uses disfellowshipping as a crutch to keep the rank-and-file in line. In the example you gave, what was the sin? Was it not fornication? However, the Witnesses have gone beyond the sin of fornication when...

And you never miss an opportunity to skirt around the subject and never truly answer it. For someone whose been a Witness for over 50 years, you sure seem to be blind to their past. And where exactly does God say "Thou shalt not have blood transfusions?" All I see are interpretations.

Unlike you, I do not believe in universal salvation. Christ's ransom gives EVERYBODY the opportunity for life, but not everyone will avail themselves of that life. The Bible teaches that it's God’s plan that there shall be a great day, a thousand-year day, in which Christ will give the world a...

Really? I thought I was. You believe and say one thing I believe and say another. But apparently what you believe and say is not you who is speaking but God, because as you say, I am disagreeing with God for not believing as you say. You're making a mountain out of a molehill with your...

Because that's what these men have told him.

Is it really their choice? Or has the choice been made for them, and the only choice they have is to obey the governing body, because the moment they don't they are no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses and lose their families and livelihood. I don't know, are there any Christian Scientist on...

So because I disagree with you, I disagree with God? You sound like my Jehovah's Witness friends.

"These"?" Who are "these" you speak of?

nah, we'll agree to disagree
