| Quote: | | to someone sincerely wanting to know the answer to any of your questions, I will respond. |
If I did not sincerely want to know the answers, I would not have asked. You praised another for going to the source for information about what JW's believe, yet you dismiss my attempts at asking the source, why is that?
| Quote: | | But it is evident that to respond to you further on such matters at this time would bring into question my obedience to Jesus. |
I don't understand. You are saying that it would be disobedient to Jesus for you to give me the scriptural reasons for you doing the things you do and the way you worship? How so?
| Quote: | | Your attempt to question all the practical ways that Witnesses apply godly principles in their lives at one time is a smoke screen. |
How so? I am seeking truthful, biblical answers to sincere questions. How does that equate to a smoke screen?
| Quote: | | By listing all the things I do or do not do(because I've been convinced through extended, objective study of God's word along with secular material; I had to be convinced the Bible was God's word first), you wish to dissuade others from even considering the truth about such fundamental questions as: Why God created us and the earth? Why do we grow old and die? What is the Kingdom and what will it accomplish? Etc, etc |
You ascribe intent to me which I have not shown, why? As an evasion to answer that which cannot be supported by scripture? Where did I even mention creation, growing old, etc. ? I've asked honest, concise, sincere questions regarding your beliefs and have yet to recieve anything from you other than evasion, and attacks on my intent and character.
If you have no answers that are based on solid biblical dictate or support then so be it. I can accept that. But please tell me one way or the other, do you have the support and if so, what is it, or do you not have the support and choose to believe what the WTBC tells you to believe regardless of the truth of God's Word?

"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave. As you enter the home, give it your greeting. If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town." (Matt 10:11-14)
This is obviously a "judgment" call. Sorry if I've miscontrued the tone of your responses. This is one major problem with discussions via the net. |
