Frankly I have a hard time understanding why there are a few out there that are so obsessed with Jehovah's Witnesses.
Why devote so much time and energy on them, their God, and his ways?
First of all since I am one of the few you are talking about about, actually the only one you are talking about, I would like to ask you a question? Is your ego that inflated that you actually believe that the JWs and posting with you is the only thing that I actually do around here? Come on, look at my post count and I have been a member since 11/03....I am very active here....Next that is exactly the point....your God and your ways ....not the God because their is only ONE God...and He has many followers....and you take on the role of the Lord in convicting them by judging them all, in saying they are not Christian and that only you are....Truth is you have no idea who is going to be in the Book of Life nad who is not, you have only the Hope that you will be...as the rest of us...
Why the constant fault finding?
Hardly ever, is there anything at all positive said.
Give me something positive to say and I will...Please...do you really think that I like pointing out faults.....We are talking about things that are differences, if we were talking about the similarities then it would be a different story....As far as the negative comments goes, then I would appreciate if you would look in the mirror before you accuse others of this, you too, have made several comments about Christianity ans especially Catholicism which are very negative....all of which were finding fault....
Wouldn't you rather enjoy spending your time and energy on the Christian Scientists, Russian Orthodox, Scientologists, or the new movement of homosexual accepting protestant churches?
I don't enjoy doing this, you make this sound like a sport...That is sick....And if you took the time to go through my posts you would see that I have taken on the issues....I have taken on the abortion issue and the Homosexual issue, I am proactive no only with you but with anyone that I believe is wrong....and that includes my own Brethren at times....as my friend said last night I am an equal opportunity activist for the Lord....
Perhaps I can see, coming along and posting a few questions and getting a viewpoint,.....but then it goes on and on and on and on.
I just wonder.......what is with this? Most people that I know personally do not obsess like this.
Maybe this would be because you do not answer the questions asked at times....and then when you do you expect us to just accept your answers....umm, NO, we do not have to blindly accept your answers, I am sorry....This is not a question and answer forum....there are forums on this board designed that way but this is not one of them this is a debate forum....
Main Entry:
2debate
Function:
verb
Inflected Form(s):
de·bat·ed;
de·bat·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French
debatre, from Old French, from
de- + batre to beat, from Latin
battuere
intransitive senses
1 obsolete : [size=-1]FIGHT[/size], [size=-1]CONTEND[/size]
2 a : to contend in words b : to discuss a question by considering opposed arguments
3 : to participate in a debate
transitive senses
1 a : to argue about b : to engage (an opponent) in debate
2 : to turn over in one's mind
So, if we are in a debate forum then what we do is present both sides and engage in disscussion and argument and further argument and further discussion over the relevant points that come out of that debate....here we have what is called formal debate and then informal debate...These forums are informal debate forums....There is also a formal debate forum that has tighter rules to it....
So you wonder why others here and I when entering into a discussion and a debate with you of which we are asking specific questions and you are not answering them, in fact, most of the time you are avoiding them like the plagued are getting fustrated....Because you can't sit there and pick and choose what you want to answer and what you don't want to answer with out loosing credibility. If you said to us well we don't know that would have been a better answer then nothing at all and you wouldn't lose credibility...
And you are in a forum that is designed to put forth unorthodox theological beliefs. This forum was designed so that we could as Christians debate them with you....Now the choice is yours, you don't have to post here....you are choosing to post here....so then follow the rules and expectations of the forum or this feeling that you have that you are being targetted will continue. The reason, no one is getting the answers they want, so they will continue to ask, for one and for two why should we as Christian Members of this forum be expected to provide back up for everything but you who are non-Christian guest members of this forum not be required to do the same?
In Christ
