What attracts you to the JW religion?

Love of Jehovah.

How do you look past doctrinal flip flops and previous failed prophecies?

Love of neighbor.

What is your take on blood fractions?

It's a confidential, conscience matter.

How do you feel about Watchtower rewriting history to make their 607 BC / 1914 AD theory work?

It's a matter of understanding pivotal dates.

Do you believe Jesus chose Watchtower in 1919 and what's your proof?

No. I know no person or organization with that exact legal name.

Could you please explain the seven trumpet blasts in Revelation and how Watchtower applies that to them during the late 1920's through early 1930's?

No. That's all beyond my level of understanding.

Are you satisfied with Watchtower's change to the meaning of "this Generation" in 1995?

Yes.

Why?

We were being trained and prepared at the proper time. It's a matter of keeping in step.

I'm like a kid in a class. I'm not in a position to tell how the teacher should teach, I just learn the best way I know how, so my mom and dad are happy with me. Whether I like the teacher or the teacher likes me isn't the point of school, after all.

Here's an analogy. You may have heard it before, but please just consider it anyway. There is a group of people having a discussion. One person is making very bold and dogmatic pronouncements. Another person says: "Yes, I agree with you on most points, but there a few of your statements that lack evidence". The first person becomes enraged, has the person ejected from the room, and tells everyone else to shun him. Which person was really lacking humility?

If I would say so myself, it appears that you (as a group) who take shots are the "one" who "is making very bold and dogmatic pronouncements." I am "another person". I simply ask questions for clarification.

This conversation is on 2 levels at the same time. I am a fellow member on JWD: an "ant" just like each of you. Jehovah is looking down, watching us all, examining how we defend or challenge His interests. He wants us to all take the cramped, narrow way. Who of us will take it? Who wants the broad, spacious alternative. I elect to take the cramped, narrow way. Its destination is preferable, in my eyes.

The truth can always stand more scrutiny.

From whose standpoint? Have you asked Jesus personally yourself? Are you one of Jesus' anointed? Or, are you, rather a super-fine apostle ( like the apostle Paul spoke of)? Self-examination is important all the way around, not just for me, after all.

If you don't attend with JWs, then where do you worship? Just on the JWD?

I am being discreet, the same way Jesus was with the Pharisees and other trappers in his day on earth.

I am reminded of the apostle Paul's words at 1 Cor. 1:10-31.

The trapper tries again. But there are various contexts to the word God. Since Jesus was modest, he gave the credit to Jehovah at John 17:3. Isaiah is contrasting Mighty with Almighty. And John is stating that Jesus reflected Jehovah's position on things. All three make the same point, regarding position, rather than trueness. The only thing false about calling Jesus God is in the aspect of First Cause. Jesus was Created by Jehovah according to both Paul and John (2 witnesses). So Jesus must not be worshipped as the Source of anything, because anything Jesus has had was given to Jesus by Jehovah.

As you know, elders are not in the list at 1 Corinthians 11:3. Christ is over men, as the head of the Congregation.

What false hope do you think I entertain?

I don't "hope" that Christ is using the FDS, I have "faith" that Christ is using the FDS.
