If a JW Came To Your Door How Would You Handle It?
by minimus injehovah's witnesses have never come to my door but they have come to my girlfriends door.
i have coached her as to what to say or ask but it appears that they always seem to come when she's not there.
.....just curious would you get into it with a jehovah's witness at your door especially if it was someone you did not know?.

In my 44 years as a third generation born-in not a single Christian ever shared the liberating gospel of grace with me, when knocking at their doors.
All they had to do was ask a simple question.
- "What is the gospel in one word?"
- "Is a right and clean standing with God earned or imputed?"
- "Where do you stand on the 5 solas?"
- "Where do you stand on law versus grace?"
- "Where do you stand on faith versus works?"
- "Is legalism apostasy?"
What a pity no one had the ability or courage to ask a simple question...

Would you agree:
There are three main paths in life?
Secular, religious or spiritual?
They are very different?
Each path has both atheists and "believers"?

Major congregational quake in Southern California
by Hecce inthis notice is not official yet and it should be confidential until released thru the proper channels.
a friend of mine told me about a huge elders meeting in southern california.

Wonderous contraction is taking place!
Good news indeed.
The end is near.
The end of religion that is.
The Watchtower is being destroyed in Armageddon:
the war between religion and the liberating gospel message.
Long live the gospel.

Watchtower: two hopes (heaven or earth).
Bible: one hope (heaven and earth).
(Ephesians 4:4, 5) . . .One body there is, and one spirit, even as YOU were called in the one hope to which YOU were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism. . .

What is the purpose of life?
by slimboyfat inwhile reading the magazines the other day it occurred to me that jws never really had a very good answer to that question.
because it was aimed at young people and it said something along the lines, "if you believe in god you have a purpose, but if you don't believe in god your life has no purpose or meaning".
i think that is a faulty analysis of the situation.

Are Gods true worshippers on Earth today? If they are not JWs then who are they?
by Formerbrother inis there gods true worshipers on earth today as jesus said there would be?
if they are not jws then who are they?.

I thought somebody would say, somethinglike Catholics, or Muslims or some other answer are closer to the true religion than JWs.
The Watchtower only invented the concept of "true religion" and "false religion" in 1950.
Their original teaching is correct: all religion is a snare and a racket.

Jesus' followers know who they are, and who he is, apart from man-made hierarchy, dogma, organisations, positions, labels and titles.
This is a deep inner knowing that results from pursuing the liberating gospel of grace - the exact thing that unleashed the Bethel witch-hunt and purge in the early 1980's and for which Ray Franz was hounded and surreptitiously disfellowshipped.
