The unknown single most important thing to be sure to know if you meet a JW.

[PS95]

And some day, just like all of us, if you grow old in this System, you will die, too.

Then what?

I asked you to read all of Romans Chapter 6, and that is your reply. Like I said, you are just like a spoiled little child.
All can see what you really do teach now if they choose to.

I thought it would be helpful to understand how Jehovah's Witnesses view the atonement. It is a very different view than if you just read your bible and prayed.
You may need this info one day if you run into a JW or know someone who does.
I have invited @Aunty Jane to join me since she is a popular JW here, and we recently had an encounter here where we disagreed. I told her I would make a new thread, rather than divert the OP any further. So here we are.

I wrote this-
”A Christian will never deny that the- Lord Jesus' death paid for our sins.” JWs will say things, but their words mean something other than you think. They wont tell you this."

Jane wrote this-
"Since when do we deny that Christ’s sacrifice paid for our sins? Please show us where we have ever made a statement like that here?"
This is absolute nonsense! I don’t know where you get this half baked rubbish, but it is apparent that you didn’t listen at the meetings or even to your parents growing up."

Ok. I should explain that I was raised as a JW. My family is large and are all JWs, but me and one of my brothers. I am a Christian now, and have been shunned by family for many years. I was not baptized as a JW. I defended my faith in Christ and was shunned. They see me as antichrist.
We speak at funerals, or if they have what is called to JWs a "family emergency" on their part, they may or may not call me.
Ok enough of that-

If you stick around you will be very surprised at what you learn here. I do not expect this to take very long. I am also requesting if Aunty Jane could please try her best to succinctly say what she has to say, so that posts are not a mile long. No one likes reading those. I would like to keep it short and sweet and stay on topic I hope you can agree, Jane.

My question for Jane --
Ok, Hi Jane,
You insist that JWs believe that when our Lord was crucified that His death paid for OUR sins. Not just Adam's sin, but our sins. We know we all inherited Adam's sin. I am not referring to that, nor do I need to hear that again. We all know we inherited Adam's sin nature and we are all sentenced to die. Let's not waste time on what we know. I stated that Jesus' blood paid for OUR sins, and You said, yes, that you teach that.
Are your personal sins washed clean in the blood of Jesus, Jane?

If you think Jesus death covered everyone's sin, then why do they die and pay their own wages of sin? And why does Acts 3:19 teach--Repent and turn around to get sins blotted out? Even those who repent die and pay the wages of sin themselves. So tell us. Whose sin will be covered by Jesus' ransom sacrifice?
