  Here's some things to say:

  Paul shows that not every Christian would actively evangelise.

  Ephesians 4:11-12 "And he gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelizers, some as shepherds and teachers, with a view to the readjustment of the holy ones, for ministerial work, for the building up of the body of the Christ ..."

  Mark 13:10 simply says "Also, in all the nations the good news has to be preached first." It does not dictate how this is to be done. Though the house to house work is an acceptable way to preach, it is never indicated scripturally as a sign of who God's followers would be.

  There are 3 billion Christians globally. All religions proselytise and many religions have active missionary programs. Most Christion religions preach about the kingdom of God, the message of the Bible and about Jesus. They do what Matthew 28:19 says:

  "… baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,. . ."

  They just don't do it the exact way that Watchtower does, and no scripture says they have to.

  Panters, yes there are some witnesses here. Most of them are still in for family reasons, to get their loved ones out. There are also a few active believers here that are trying their best to preach the watchtower dogma.

  In fact, this site startes as a site for active JW's, but the possibility of being anonymous here and to raise questions in open discussion made a lot of the earliest members here fade or dissasociate.

  Of course active JW's are welcome here. Some members might be provoked, if they have ben treated very bad and disfellowshipped, but I hope everyone will treat you good. But there will certainly be some jokes you will hear.

  Is truth a place?

  We are always hearing of people who are around seeking after the Truth. I have
  never seen a (permanent) specimen. I think he has never lived. But I have seen
  several entirely sincere people who thought they were (permanent) Seekers after
  the Truth. They sought diligently, persistently, carefully, cautiously,
  profoundly, with perfect honesty and nicely adjusted judgment- until they
  believed that without doubt or question they had found the Truth. That was the
  end of the search. The man spent the rest of his hunting up shingles wherewith
  to protect his Truth from the weather.
  - Mark Twain, "What is Man?"

  I think it is no accident that C. T. Russell was a contemporary of S. L. Clemens'.

  @OUTLAW you have interesting replies. You seem like the Robbie Williams in this topic.

  so are there any elders here?

  @jgnat why don't you become a witness?

  Panters, here you have a thread started by a JW. This is one way they usually act! http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/beliefs/276061/1/Are-you-on-Gods-side-or-Satans#.UyIyfz95OSo

  One post, and then they disappear!"

  There is a bunch of elders and MSs here. Most of them are "under cover brothers".

  I think there is a thread about elders here...look for it.

  The protection a Christian needs can be found in the fold of the Fine Shepherd. (John chapter 10).

  The Watchtower is all about rules and regulations.

  I am done with them.

  Who is Michael Porter?

  So what are you guys then? Are you active or inactive?

  @snowbird why did you leave? Aren't you worried about the great tribulation?

  Not even Outlaw (our Master) knows Michael Porter! I myself have no idea who he is.

  But he is probably not DF'ed

  Inactive for 25 years!

  Great tribulation! Just relax! Nothing happened in 1975! It's just morbid fantasy to scare people to obedience.
