Wrong ASSumptions from apostates

Bomatt6,
If you are really a believer in the bible, I suggest you consider the following verses carefully:
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor [8] and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies [9] and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Also, you speak of "preaching the kingdom", don't you realize that the "preaching" done by Jehovah's Witnesses has no resemblence to the preaching done by the Apostles, and early Christians?

I'm neutral towards the Society. I don't defend it nor do I attack it. They are
a place that prints literature. The religion is the Christian congregation of
Jehovah's Witnesses.Okay???? Then, why are you here?
BTW, it's funny that your religion is called Christian congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses when in reality, there is absolutely nothing Christian about it. For reference, check the post by borgfree above.

No here is some reality. - the WTBS hsa nothing to do with splitting families apart. They print literature, nothing more. If you are referring to disfellowshipping, that is not the WBTS. That is the individual members choosing do do that.
OK, here's the standard JW deception via splitting hairs: "Oh, the WT is only a publishing company." Yeah, right. Well, then, you tell us who it is that makes all the non-biblical rules that 6 million JW's around the world are commanded to obey under penalty of shunning by family and friends, and that's who we'll talk about. Is it the Governing Body? The CCJW? What semantic term do you want to use for that evil, satanic authority structure? Tell us, so that we can condemn the right entity for its wickedness; we wouldn't want to accuse a mere publishing company (which we all know is so much more - the ultimate statement of authority for a JW is "the Society says..." - what Society would that be, anyway?).
The WTBTS does not turn their back on victims of child molestors, it is the parents that do that by putting the children in such a position to be molested. The WTBTS is in New York and does not babysit children.
Another flat-out lie. The WT (or whatever semantic term you decide to use) has turned its back on these victims by demanding that they not seek criminal justice, again under threat of shunning. You think it's the parents who have turned their back on the children? Only in the sense that they trusted JW's around their children, perhaps. Everyone knows that JW's can't be trusted. Thank God the WT doesn't baby-sit children, with all the pedophiles they have there!
They do not lie to they're members, because there are only 500 members of the corporation.
More semantic twisting. Actually, they do lie to their 500 members, just like they lie to the other 6 million or so followers (or do you prefer another term?) around the world. You have learned your skills in deception well from them, too.
If you said that you read the Bible, then I care but the fact is that you don't follow it as you would not be attacking the Witnesses if you did.
Anyone who reads the Bible - really reads it, I mean, without the Watchtower "explanations" (= deceptive twistings) will soon be attacking the Witnesses, as their teachings are not in the least Biblical. -

Bomatt6,
This is the gospel taught by the apostles:
1 Corinthians 15The Resurrection of Christ
1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance [1] : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, [2] and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.Galatians 1:6
No Other Gospel 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!
Doesn't sound like the gospel taught by the JWs to me.

I love that he thinks he is "attacking apostates" LOL!!! If he has no connection to the WTS then we arent apostates at all! An apostate is somebody who changes their beliefs often to be against their former belief systems which is 90% of the JWs! So if he is attacking apostates, he is also attacking JWs. The lovely part is, the more he opens his (extremely ignorant) mouth, the louder we reply, and the more the lurkers and Jws who read here LEARN about this cult. Thanks for the help Bornagnat, you have furthered our cause better than we could have ourselves. Do carry on.
