AGuest - not that you listen to a word I say and think about it, but for what it's worth:
I truly did, dear cedars (again, peace to you!), which is why I apologized. I truly did not think expounding and expanding on the topic would be offensive to anyone. Since it's your thread, though, I owed you an apology, which I gave, along with an attempt at explaining myself...
Nope, my zeal is to expose flawed teaching, your zeal is to replace it with your ideas.
I wasn't trying to "replace" anything, truly, dear one, but, again, only to expound and expand... which happens on this forum quite often (which is why I didn't think there'd be a problem - I was wrong, obviously, and so, again, apologize)...
My eyes aren't deceiving me at all any longer, and I take exception to your claim that they are.
I'm sorry that you take exception, but must disagree with you here and will show why in a sec...
I'm not exposing their teachings with more false teachings, because I'm not trying to teach anyone anything!
But surely, dear one, you realize that YOU weren't the only one COMMENTING, yes? Which is why I ADDRESSED to my comment to whom I did. I get it that you started the thread, but in doing so you invited comment. Some of those comments make statements/ask questions that further perpetuate WTBTS false teachings. It's like we're to reject SOME of what the WTBTS teaches on the matter, but others parts are still viewed as accurate... although they aren't. Just thought to clarify, is all...
You're the one who's trying to do that. I'm just clearly demonstrating how the society's "logic" works against itself, and is self-condemnatory!
Yes, and NO ONE disputed that! If you sought to limit comments/responses, however, you only needed to state that from the start.
Sheesh, it's like talking to a brick wall.
Or, perhaps, listening like one. Again, I heard and listened to YOU. I just expanded the topic which I didn't realize was a crime here...
Also, if your arguments make so much sense, please can you make them a little more succinctly?
Oh, sorry, about that, truly. One of my flaws (out of a many) is that I am verbose. I've tried many times to work on that, but just can't seem to get it "all" out in less words than I do. Others here are more gifted in that way than I am.
Not that you should need to propound any truths or correct the society's teachings (or apparently my own "false teachings") here because the purpose of this thread is to show how the doctrine is flawed, not necessarily replace it with fresh doctrine.
Yes, I understand that you have a problem with that. Again, though, others commented (and read without commenting) and perhaps they don't/didn't have a problem.
Everyone can do that for themselves, in the same way that evidently you did.
Apparently, not. Otherwise, they would have responded with more TRUTH... and not more false teachings and misunderstandings.
May the force be with you my brother... lots of nice fluffy things.... keep the faith and all that....
Now, this is where I get to discuss how your eyes are deceiving you... or perhaps the "brick wall" that prevents YOU from hearing ME: I am a SHE. A "sister". I indicated that above... but apparently your eyes didn't get that.
Again, peace to you, dear cedars... and, lighten up. I think that by this interchange between you and I, YOU have detracted more from your primary topic than I ever did. Many know me and so would choose to not even read what I posted. You, though, have brought much attention to it, more than I even anticipated, I'm sure. My comments were not an affront or attack on YOU... but only an attempt to clarify and point out how "we" THINK we've moved past WTBTS, but in truth may actually be further perpetuating some of it. That's it, that's all. Absolutely NO offense intended and since I've apologized several times, I'm going to have to say that the issues are now yours.
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SA, a "her"...
