What they should be talking about is how they should be on the other side of that table educating them selves.

“Me thinks Terry is very clever and extemely logical (and I accept everything he says) but he may miss the mystery of life, love and romance and may die feeling sad if he's not careful.”
With reasoning like this it’s not hard for me to believe that you were in a controlling cult. Terry be careful, your creating a following here that may not be easily dissolved.
“1. Get yourself educated about the religion, and fast. But don't be openly critical to your girlfriend . Being openly critical of the Watchtower Society is the kiss of death.
2. Prepare to spend from three to five years of intensive, intelligent effort to wean her from the society. If she be so willing. She may eventually choose the society over you. In fact, I think she already has.
3. Don't think that introducing yourself to the family to show what a fine, upstanding young man will help. ANYONE not a Jehovah's Witness is considered bad assocation . They may be nice to your face, but notice how fast they hustle you out the door. Or, if they think they can't warn you off, how fast they recommend a book study. When you see a JW smile, think of a shark.I DO NOT RECOMMEND becoming a Jehovah's Witness to get the girl. You will be selling your soul and handing your balls in a little paper bag to the elders. If you don't believe me, read all of Buck's posts. He decided to convert for his girlfriend, and he is miserable.”
For once I agree with jgnat. She gives some good advice with this post. Read it, read it over again, read it over again, and make sure you under stand it. Just to emphasize, I’ve highlighted what I feel are some of the more important issues involved.
Dude, listen. If you really like this girl then I say go for it. It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. If this girl feels anything for you at all then maybe you could be the catalyst that will free her from her chains. Make no mistake, this will not be easy. But look at the bright side, that which does not kill you will only make you stronger.

Real Christians.....
by Honesty in1. were among the first to respond to the tsunami of 2004 and hurricane katrina with food, water, shelter, clothing, comfort, etc.
and provided relief efforts to every person they came in contact with regardless of religious beliefs.. 2. point to jesus as the only source of true happiness in today's world of uncertainty.
3. utilise 'worldly' holidays to focus attention on god's love for mankind.. 4. welcome you in no matter how many tattoos or body piercings you adorn your body with.. 5. pray for everything and at a moment's notice.

What is a true Christian? In my mind Christian is merely a label to describe one who makes an effort to live by the teachings of Jesus Christ. What separates the “true” Christians from the not so “true”?
“2. Point to Jesus as the only source of true happiness in today's world of uncertainty”
I agree that by definition a true Christian must use Jesus Christ as their primary and only example of how to model their life.
“3. Utilise 'worldly' holidays to focus attention on God's love for mankind. “
That must be why my local shopping mall is such a pleasant place to be from the end of November to December 25 th , huh?
“5. Pray for everything and at a moment's notice. (Isaiah 56:7; Mark 11:17) “
I do work with a self proclaimed “Christian” who sure does a lot of praying.
“6. Don't use 1,000's of publications to promote themselves as God's voice to mankind.”
Agreed.
“8. Don't pass judgement on other sinners. They let God judge while they minister to people and exhort them to allow the Holy Spirit to lead them.”
Who among us isn’t quick to pass judgement? After all why else would first impressions be so important?
“9. Don't claim to have the 'only' truth from God's Word.”
The same “Christian” I work with that prays a lot also claims to have the only truth from God’s word.
“10. Promote moral values that mirror what the bible teaches.”
Agreed.

Did God ever grant what you asked for in prayer?
by JH ini was an active witness, and i didn't feel as if god granted anything i asked for in prayers.
i didn't ask anything out of the ordinary.
since the witnesses say that they are god's followers and that he blesses them, i wonder in what way he blesses individuals when they pray?.

It’s a way for controlling men to measure and judge the spirituality or heart condition of each member individually.

Lets experiment! Next April let’s all shun the taxman and see where that gets. We can simply say that it’s our religious rite as per Matthew 18:17.
Who’s game?

Oh yeah, thats right! Faith without works is dead, right? Perhaps I should offer a blood sacrifice or something like that, huh?
