its long but worth the read.
No man wants a fight, I'm in good health, but I don't want problems I want solutions. Yet, if someone/something causes someone you love harm, then we all have an obligation to speak out. It may not be what that someone wants to hear at the moment, but I still have that obligation. WT literature says that very thing....
I've asked you three questions that you haven't answered... let me refresh.
1) Where in the Bible does it say that I can't question a group of men and that by my so doing I become an "apostate" to God. No JW has/can answer this question for me, you continue to not answer it.. No where does the bible say that your own family shouldn't talk to you becasue you don't believe the dogmas of any religion...
2) I've asked you to read John chapter 6 several times and respond... this is what it says starting in verse 52: "in truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person on the last day".... I wanted you to see that the sacraments, as many religions call them, are for everyone not just the so called "remnant" as the WT calls them. Follow up this research by reading Rev. Chapter 7... where the great crowd sits before the throne and before the lamb....and where is Christ's throne? WHere is Jesus' kingdom? Its in heaven right family member (name not disclosed)? How can the great crowd be on the earth when its seated before the throne? Now, sincerly ask an elder to explain using the scriptures the WT position on this... research this on your own... If I'm not mistaken the "Revelation" book is being studied on Tuesdays, look up the information there and see if the WT position holds water. Or see if its simply their own "spirit guided" interpretation of scripture. I'd love to hear a response to this, as no JW has ever been able to answer this question for me; they just got mad I whad the nerve to question the GB.
3) I've asked you to research the 607BC date for the fall of Jerusalem, its wrong of course that's why I wanted you to research it. And this is the date they use partially to arrive at the whole 1914 prophesy... you know, Christ's "invisible" presence....In this weeks WT they say that God chose this organization in 1919, they arrive at this date using the wrong caculation also. And as for the Elder that realized this date was wrong and humbly presented the information to the GB, he was DF for "apostacy"; his family and frineds were taken from him in an instant for being correct. His conscience wouldn't allow him to lie and this made him an "apostate"....nice! As for the GB, they have known this since at least the mid 70s...does God want his self appointed messengers to teach a wrong dogma, a known lie? You think that God wants men to teach a known false dogma, and since they know its wrong, it means they knownly are teaching a lie?
I could go on about their false dogmas, but these three desreve an answer, especially since you've recently deemed it fit to attack my character. So you think I "like to destroy things, not build up?" How can you not know that this family has tossed aside many relatives the last few years over dogmas such as these? And this was meant to build up not destroy...this religion has destroyed hundreds of lives. ANd I would be showing love to my family by remaining silent, knowing others are sure to suffer under the oppressive yoke of this cult?
THe rest is personal and talks about how my family no longer talks to me becasue I won't lie for the WT any longer.... what do you guys think?
