  schizm: here's something for you to consider, which you will no doubt disagree with, but that shows that the wts will refine its thinking on these issues:

  and some of those having insight will be made to stumble, in order to do a refining work because of them and to do a cleansing and to do a whitening, until the time of [the] end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

  How mature - how old are you?

  To be trading insults, I would need to have insulted you. Can you point out any instances where I have insulted you? Or is is this more rhetoric? Hint: taking issue with something you have said and calling on you to back it up does not count as insulting you.

  "If you were acquainted with the Bible you'd know that Jesus used terms that YOU would find fault with."
  Any evidence? or is this another score for rhetoric?

  Schizm are you imitating Jesus like all Jehovah's Witnesses should? Is this how Jesus would talk?

  Schizm says: So which "Christian" religion would it be? First off, it couldn't refer to what is commonly referred to as "Christendom", a religion that's split up into a multitude of denominations.
  Score: Rhetoric 1, Evidence 0.
  
  

  Schizm says: At any rate, you're quite wrong about the text applying equally well to just any old religion that professes belief in the Bible.
  Score: Rhetoric 2, Evidence 0.

  Schizm says: However, for lurkers that may be reading this thread that you initiated I'll offer the reminder that the text of Daniel 11:35 is applicable to Christians who are united as a body, rather than divided such as is Christendom.
  Score: Rhetoric 3, Evidence 0.

  Schizm says: And, furthermore, it seems that there's a subtle purpose for the verse concluding with the words "because it [the time of the end] is YET for the time appointed".
  Score: Rhetoric 4, Evidence 0.

  Schizm says: There's much in the Scriptures that require discernment to understand their meaning. You too might try your hand at developing such an ability.
  Score: Rhetoric 5, Evidence 0.

  Schizm says: You're sadly mistaken. JWs stand out as being distinctly different than any of Christendom's churches.
  Score: Rhetoric 6, Evidence 0.

  Schizm says: Is it my fault that you haven't any "insight" regarding the things being said? If you did, you wouldn't be making such a silly request.
  Score: Rhetoric 7, Evidence 0.

  Is it always this hard to get a Jehovah's Witness to back up their arguments with evidence?
