Can anyone help me answer these? Oh I forgot I have to, darn! Why do I get stuck with all the Questions. I only made a few topics.
Q1 Is the promise at 1 John 3:3 a restricted hope?
Q2 Is this hope for Jehovahs Witnesses only?
Q3 Is it for all Jehovahs Witnesses, or only for the anointed JWs?
Q4 The first bible study group of the WTS was formed in 1880. It is claimed in your literature that there is an unbroken line of Faithful and Discreet Slaves guiding true Christians from the early church to now. If there was no WTS before 1880, who made up the faithful and discreet slaves?
Q5 How many anointed JWs are still alive?
Q6I am curious about the WTS view of people like Susanna Wesley. Was she part of the pre-WTS anointed, or part of hopelessly corrupt Christendom?
Q7So I am dying to know. According to WTS Accurate Knowlege, is Susanna Wesley a true Christian or false?
Q8 I wonder if he did a search for "dialogue" on his WT CD if he would get any hits?
Q9 Way to go Bleep. Since the WTS is silent on the topic of dialogue, could you give me your perspective on the Bereans?
Q10 Does the WTS have a similar policy (as a Christendom church that I described) to protect children from pedophiles? In these terrible times, perhaps more should be done?
Q11 Please provide a definition of Ethics, from an authoritative source. WT materials do not count. There are dictionaries on-line if looking it up in a book is too much trouble.
Q12 Bleep, exercising your conscience, based on current light of the WTS, is the following link an appropriate website, or not?
Q13 Bleep, as this organization is also distributing the bible for free, is the organization and/or the bible also approved by Jehovah?
Q14 How many anointed JWs are still alive?
Q15 Please list the names of books, periodicals, websites, etc. that you have studied as part of your information gathering to learn about cults.
Q16 What do YOU think defines a cult? I mean, a lot of people call different groups "cults" but they each have their own reasons, either correct (i.e. generally accepted reasons) or incorrect (i.e. not generally accepted reasons). So how do YOU define a cult?
Q17 Why is it people say "Reverend Jim Jones was a cult leader" or "David Koresh was a cult leader" or "The Branch Davidians is a cult"? What do you think it is about these groups that makes them a "cult" in the opinion of most people?
Q18 How would you react to and deal with a close family member who joined, lets say, The Unification Church (a.k.a. The Moonies)? What would you say to that person (if anything)? What if they were quitting their job, or leaving their wife/husband/ family, in order to persue The Moonies more intently? What would you do and/or say?
Q19 You have posted previously that, in effect, you feel that people are misled by this website, as if it has a mind or agenda of it's own. Do you recognize that this website is only a collection of the postings of hundreds, perhaps thousands of people, like you and me, that are not related to and not controlled by this website in any way? Do you understand that if you see something posted by someone that you don't agree with, you may post your opinion/correction? Do you understand that in order for this to be more educational and meaningful, counter-posts should be very specific and include proof? In other words, it is insufficient for me to post "The moon is made of green cheese" -- I would have to prove it! And if I ignored that requirement for proof, and subsequent requests for proof from other posters, I would probably not win over ANYONE to my opnion with respect to the lunar cheese composition. Do you understand this basic principle of discussion boards like this one?
Q20 Do you count the time you spend here as "preaching" on your month-end Publishers Report?
Q21 How extensive is your right to free speech? If you felt that you were personally in disagreement about some bible t teaching, (for example, if you recognized that the temple was NOT destroy in 607 BCE but rather in circa 587 BCE, would you have the right to free speech to discuss your opinion and the proof you have for your opinion with the Brothers and Sisters? What do you think about this?
Q22 Have you spent any time at http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies? This website has nothing to do with JWs or Apostates, but is a very interesting collection of Logical Fallacies, in other words, the mistakes people sometimes make in logice when trying to make a point about something. My first post in this thread referred to this site several times. Have you visited the site yet?
