Lets start with “disfellowshipping,” Casey.Its true that Jehovahs Witnesses are known for disfellowshipping people–tens of thousands a year actually. This sets us apart from other religions that turn a blind eye toward serious sins.Here is something that a JW said on a message board in the “Deliver Us From Evil” website. That message board…[Read more]

Hi t8, you write:Quote The more useful organisations in my opinion are organisations that distribute bibles and fund missionaries.Quote I think you will find that most or at least a big percentage of the money and resources are used in administration and buildings.Bibles are made in buildings.

Other than Biblegate, are there any other sites that have large amounts of Bibles? Just wondering.

Quote Hey david: I understand that I posted an exhaustive post and not every line needs to be commented on but I was wondering if you ignored it? Just curious because you answered the posts that were after mine?

Hi Casey. I'm not ignoring you. I just thought I could answer Nick more quickly.You say:Quote 1) The message of method of bringing the message is successful.

Hi Mercy. Where have you been?T8 has repeatedly shown a hatred toward organization and specifically organizations that he considers to be manmade.I was once again explaining to t8 that if he lived in the first century and had his attitude, he'd have problems. Organization in itself isn't bad. And yes, back then it was the body of Christ. Today…[Read more]

Quote Hi ,After Pentecost it says about the disciples in Acts 5Acts 5:42″And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”Do others agree this is not a JW style door to door evangelism but reaching those who were in the houses of the saved who had not heard the message?Nick, sure, they did go to fellow…[Read more]

Quote In my experience I see more Mormons than JWs going about preaching their doctrine. But the Mormons probably stand out more as they wear suits and have badges. They like to ask where are your apostles and prophets, when they find out that you are a christian.Yes, Mormon's are easier to notice, because of that. I have also had them state that…[Read more]

Hi Oxy. Glad to hear from you.When we come across someone who tells us they've been born again, (and there are many such people) it usually means that they believe they'll someday be with Christ in heaven.Yet, when we ask them what they'll be doing there with him, they have this blank look on their face. (Rev. 20:6; 5:9, 10)And too, what people…[Read more]

HI Debra,Quote So are you saying that as long as the people you witness too take heed of the warning and believe the Word of God, it dosn't matter that they might decide not to become Baptized into Jesus by JW's?As Jesus said, this must be done for the purpose of a “witness to all the nations,” whether they accept the message or not.

HI Seeking, I agree with some of what you are saying. But I believe that the word “destroy” does mean destroy.

Quote If so, that contradicts the eternal burning in flames doctrine because to suffer in a flame forever is not destruction, but eternal punishment for the living.Yes T8, that is a HUGE CONTRADICTION.
