  in your minds what is the worst part of the wtbs?

  The LIE that they are "God's only channel". They will be held accountable someday......

  Unfortunately, householders usually decline talking w/ the Witness and close the door. This is a PERFECT opportunity, though, for the householder to ask those thought-provoking questions to get the Witness to THINK. But, unfortunately most people don't know what questions to ask.

  If more people whom the Witness encounters would do this......just think of the impact this could have.

  we're assuming it was jw-related.

  our son (her husband) did not go (yea!!!).

  Thanks, MeneMene!

  I'm sure where ever it was she went, it had something to do with the WTS. And SO GLAD our son chose NOT TO GO.

  at the watchtower study sunday a comment was made that "we must stop focusing our efforts and energies.

  on this old dying system and focus our energies on life in paradise so near at hand.

  were many nodding heads in full agreement with this tid bit of insanity.

  Hi TB TS,

  Isn't it so SAD how gullible they are? They just swallow whatever is taught to them hook, line & sinker.

  As Rev. Wilbur Lingle (book: Approaching Jehovah's Witnesses in Love) said, " As I think of the word “truth”, I think of something that has been proven and therefore can never change". But, SO MANY of the WTS's teachings have changed. How can they say "I'm in the Truth"......and really believe it deep down in their hearts??

  I pray, too, that your family sees the REAL TRUTH someday......as well as my son (who's being duped into this cult).

  What does it require to be a Saved Christian

  by Undecided in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  first you must have faith in something you can't prove is real.

  assured expectation of something you can't see.

  must talk to some god you can't see or hear.

  Hello Ken,

  The only requirement to becoming a saved Christian......is just giving your heart to Jesus. That's all He requires. It's so simple, but most people don't understand and think they have to jump through hoops to find God's Grace. He loves you more than you will ever be able to fathom, and His GIFT of eternal life is FREE.

  The 10% tithe should be a personal choice. Your salvation does not depend upon it. In our church, we have a little box at the back for tithes. Our pastor NEVER asks or begs for money. It is totally the choice of each family. Most people are happy to give something....anything....b/c we love our church and our pastor.

  Please don't "wait and see what death means when it comes".........
