AMEN!!! PERFECTLY said... in fact, if you don't mind, I think I'm going steal this phrasing for the future.

Which is all dependent on that love being made crystal clear to that person. (Sorry, if I'm harping on that point, I've seen a LOT of folks neglect that point, so it's a big deal for me).

And it's always important to make sure a person feels the love we have for them while we share God's word. I find that sometimes people trip up on making sure that love is crystal clear first and foremost.

We can preach the word of God with love. That's 100% possible last year, this year, and next year.

I am no fan of general JW doctrines or culture, a fact that I've made quite clear on this forum. I'm a advocate for letting people explain their own beliefs, and hence visit many other churches. I've told how my visits to JW services and talking with their missionaries ended disastrously...

I ask that same question of everyone, because we all need to grow closer to Him. It's not a remotely denomination specific thing.

I have a better question: "who here would like to see me grow closer to God?"

Honestly, comparing LDS views on the Book of Mormon versus JW views on the Bible is really an apples and oranges comparison, and I don't think it would be very helpful here. AMEN!!! This I get behind a million percent!

The "Mormon" Bible is the KJV. Gets studied twice as much as the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is also believed to be scripture, a sister to the Bible, not a replacement. In practice this is similar to every other non-sola-Biblia viewpoint: yes the Bible is considered to be the word of...

EVERYone gets a second chance. God is merciful and just. I'm feeling lazy right now, so rather than explain things in my own words/thoughts I'll just provide a link Chapter 41: The Postmortal Spirit World

Actually no. See post #80.

If you want me to clarify things in that regard, I'd be happy to. If not, that's cool too. (But default I guess people aren't interested). I'm not here to be proselytized at or to proselytize at anyone. I joined this board because I honestly greatly enjoy talking from people with all sorts of...

And with all due respect, you've misunderstood things. I don't have a part of how you treat your IRL friends. I only have interaction with you here, and as I said earlier, I have no desire to be proselytized at.

You've just demonstrated thoroughly trying to "inform" me what I believe. I have no interest in this re-run or being proselytized at. So with all due respect, I will decline your advances here.

AMEN!
