Hello Scotsman! With all due respect! Why would you want to go out into the ministry work when you clearly are not following Watchtower counsel yourself? If you are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses why are you rejecting the information contained in the Watchtower? Watchtower-2000-May-1-p.10 9 Some apostates are increasingly using various forms of mass communication, including the Internet, to spread false information about Jehovah’s Witnesses. As a result, when sincere individuals do research on our beliefs, they may stumble across apostate propaganda. Even some Witnesses have unwittingly exposed themselves to this harmfulmaterial. In addition, apostates occasionally take part in television or radio programs. What is the wise course to follow in view of this? 10 The apostle John directed Christians not to accept apostates into their homes. He wrote: “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, never receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him. For he that says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.” (2 John 10, 11) Avoiding all contact with these opponents will protect us from their corrupt thinking. Exposing ourselves to apostate teachings through the various means of modern communication is just as harmful as receiving the apostate himself into our homes. Never should we allow curiosity to lure us into such a calamitous course!—Proverbs 22:3. Scotsman, you either do not believe that the people here are really apostates, or you do not believe what is written by the "faithful and discrete slave class"! Are you acting as a "wise" person as the Watchtower counsels? The Watchtower clearly states that you are not acting as a "wise" person. It's the Watchtower that defines the type of person you are. If you are "inviting" apostates into your home by associating here then you are opening yourself up for disfellowshipment! Are you not? Either way, you expose yourself as a hypocrite! Why? Because one minute you defend the organization and then the next minute you admit that the information contained on this forum is "Interesting"! Remember, you said: "It is interesting to read the posts here." If we have already peaked your interest to the point that you participate here, then you are only telling us that we have "accomplished our mission"! Thank you! We have also noticed that you prefer to make an unfounded statement and then RUN, rather than to provide any credible evidence! That is what the Pharisees did when Jesus spoke to them. You said, "Anyway, got to go out in the ministry." and
"I shall return later to have a look."
How can you benefit from any constructive criticism as you mention below, when you RUN when "constructive criticism" is offered to you?
I do not wish to appear harsh, however, you opened the door when you wrote, "I am interested in constructive criticism." Let us see just how honest and truthful you can be. Let us see your evidence! I have presented Watchtower evidence for you, so what evidence will you provide? Cheers! Atlantis-
