Defd, what do you believe will happen to ex-jw's and apostates when Armageddon comes? Do you believe they will die? Then in that case you would be concerned on what the elders think...

Btw, don't you believe in the importance of love and a personal relationship? Not just running around recruiting new members to your group, even ones who already claim to have found Christ in their own church weather it be Catholic, Orthodox, Prodestant etc. ???

Occording to your own words, it sounds like the main importance is to recruit new members, where is the teachings on love and personal relationships? Because that is a very important aspect of a Christians life.... not just to preach, teach and make new deciples

jw
friends

i got final exams next week and on top of that an elder called me last night to "remind me" about my talk next week!

i didn't even know of course and i've got loads of studying to do already.

anyways, i've heard of sites that have "sample" talks already written out and prepared for you to give one.

How long does the speech have to go for? And what does it have to be about?

Are You Afraid To Die?

do you every worry about dying?

do you think that you probably won't have a very long life?

Evanescence

for those who believe that they will go to heaven after they die, why are they so anxious to live? If I knew I was going to heaven I would be waiting to die. To be with the Lord and God, I couldnt wait.

We must go through our trial on earth, God will call us home when our time has come.

Those who endure to the end will be saved.

Personal encounterments?

When you pray and he responds to your prayers? Feeling his presence? Been filled with his love?

Guidance? Miracles? Dreams?

Yes I understand the burden of sin I would never want to offend God...

And a question out of curiosity... what do you hope to achieve through posting here? my main reason would be out of understanding other churchs and learning other point of views... but you being an active jw.... what would be your main motive here?

My Accomplishments As A JW Of Which I'm Proud

by Nate Merit in

i never even came close to making a convert.. .

i never donated a dime to the wtbts.. .

when i was involved, i was involved.

That is what being a christian is about. Following in Jesus steps. What did he dedicate his whole life doing? What did he teach his disciples to do? What did his disciples do after Jesus had died and gone to heaven? Preach, teach, and made DISCIPLES.
D.

So thats what jw's really believe...? Just to go out door to door winning over converts! Yet some would deny it... others would admit it. Defd, Firstly... Where is the LOVE? that Jesus taught about? A christian involves having a personal relationship with God.. Not just running around winning people over to your church... Defd, do you have a personal relationship with God? God does find it important that people do hear his word, and its a job of a christian to show their faith (deny Jesus before man and Jesus will deny you before God) Sharing Jesus is important, but not quite the approach JW's have it... theirs is more forceful and not patient... "love is patient, love is kind etc." God will reveal himself in ones personal life when he feels the timing is right... the Holy Spirit guides individuals to the truth... So in a way you could view it as The Holy Spirit will guide people to the true church. With a bit of help from Christians... An interesting view would be... could you imagine that even a good standing Hindu, Buddhist etc. are already on their way to christ... simply having good morals.. and doing what is right... that is already a starting point. We do trust God, and pray for those who are "lost" Its not all about running around door to door, putting your foot in the doorway and torturing your poor residence... that would more likely make people less interested in God... and you know why? Because an important factor is missing, and that is a love of a christian... Jesus golden rules where 1. Love God with all your heart, mind, soul 2. Love one another The golden rules... not run around shoving religion down everyones throat! People will come when ready... And my question still stands... Why do you try to convert people who already claims they are happy with the church they are in, and that they have already found christ? In peace, Evanescence
