I am involved with a lot of animal rescue out of Egypt, talking to a friend now about it...she said the government is targeting the militants now and that ISIS is killing Christians AND Muslims - they killed a 100 year old man who gave directions to an army vehicle or something, and a woman who...

I'm just trying to sort my life out and what I've learned from the Bible makes sense...the way JW's present it is making sense, as is the way Apologetics do. I couldn't post in Aplogetics forum because I'm new and I couldn't post about JW because they are excluded... So I'm not sure honestly if...

Maybe you and i can talk more, maybe where it is appropriate, i just don't know where that is, so if you want to guide me, I am open to learning more :):oops:

I'm new, i've apologized, you can report it and i've said i won't make another thread. I already understand, i'm not sure what your post was meant to offer, and i just replied to Albion, but thank you for your time :):sparklingheart:

If a moderator wants to move this thread, I understand and again apologize if i posted incorrectly. I may have just been baited, but....here we go i guess. :oops: 1. A long history of the JW's using deceptive practices in their door-to-door recruiting visits. Can you please tell me what...

Sorry - part of my ramblings are to sort things out in my own head. Also why I joined a forum :oops:

It was actually me searching for where to discuss this that led me to realize I couldn't, not in any "Christian" part of the forum, so I wrote it here for guidance. I apologize. Thank you for the rest of your reply, I am going to reflect on it today :)

From my limited understanding, they believe that God originally created humans as a perfect reflection of HIM, but He also created a Heavenly realm, with other spirit creations. Jesus was a firstborn of ALL creation - before the heavens and the earth, before the other spirit creatures and the...

Can you please provide scriptures for me reference, and what is your opinion on the Greek translation of the word pisteuo as it pertains to faith as action? Especially in the book of John. Also, can you give me some references for what you stated about JW's faith? Were you a JW at some point and...

Thank you for letting me know there is a Litmus test, it will definitely allow me to further my journey as sincerely as possible. My experience with JW's BEGAN with my neighbor, "I" am the expanding and expounding on that....you are telling me that Christians must accept a human creed over the...

This was just the example that came up in the thread today - there are many other scriptures that I like to cross reference for context and meaning. I do this every day these days :oops:...So for the topic of a resurrection at a later time, AFTER Armageddon, as opposed to people going to heaven...

I appreciate your understanding, but it is really not my concern whether or not JW's are off limits - I've said multiple times, if i decide not to pursue that path it will have for more to do with my own short comings than any doctrinal concerns. My concern is EXACTLY what you just stated above...

Meaning....is it: Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." NIV Or is it: "And he said to him: “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise.” NWT Or - just this and we don't know for sure...? "Jesus answered him "Truly I tell you today you will...

There was no punctuation AT all so how do we discern what the true intent was... :(:oops:

I am not Jewish, but if I understand it, they are still waiting for the Day of Judgment which will come after the Messiah, which they say has not happened yet. I think they believe in the resurrection after those things happen as well but i know almost nothing about Judaism - this might spur me...

I don't think any Jehovah's Witness doubts Jesus' divinity (If we believe Jesus and understand the plain teaching of the Bible, we will respect him as the divine Son of God that he is. We will also worship Jehovah as “the only true God.” - From jw.org under the very well researched and cited...

You say both the witch and Saul had a genuine vision of Samuel, but you also state that the dead cannot cross over....was the genuine vision you talk about from God or Satan? Why on EARTH would God give us an account of an accurate vision of the dead using spiritism, a practice specifically...

Thanks for taking the time to reply again and what i've learned form JW's (not Apologetics so much...) is pretty much what your last paragraph states, which is why i made the OP. I didn't come to these forums as a JW, to disrupt the forums or to debate things like commas lol (in fairness, I...

Saul turned to spiritism when his prayers were not answered by God. That is NOT something God condones and this account illustrates that pretty effectively. Seeing as Saul was under Law at the time and he CLEARLY knew enough to disguise himself, it would have been a transgression worthy of...

I'm sorry, but love of God is what is real. Countries have arbitrary, man made borders and doctrines of men. God is impartial and we should strive to be that way too...for how can we take up arms against another "nation" who also has sincere Christians living and dying in THEIR homeland...?
