Christ Alone
I don't remember that.
...but
Did anyone carry mics and have to get up while they had a....you know...guy issue?
You can always tell by the funny crouched over walk of the guy running back to grab the mic.
i just had a dream last night that i was watchtower reader again on a sunday.
it was weird because the color scheme seemed like a zombie-green.
my old coboe was conducting the study and he seemed like kind of a jerk.

i was a jw for a lot of years, like many of you.
i wanted to try an experiment and try out my jw apologist chops.
since we have such a hard time finding a jw apologist that can argue well, i thought i'd give it a whirl.
I'm going to post as a JW apologist on some other threads too to show a JW perspective. I'll begin to preface every post with either "Jehovah's Witness" or "Christ Alone"
Christ Alone will be my own REAL comments
Jehovah's Witness will be my evil alter ego
I'm sure it's still going to confuse some...

I think I am going to confuse ALOT of people that don't read this thread first...

Very true, sd-7. However, we are also to be ready to give an answer to someone that requests it. We do well to stay away from mentally diseased apostates. But there are those on this site that are hungry for truth. These are the ones that I must reach with God's life giving truth that is being dispensed by his visible organization.
(Wow...this is gonna be tough. Did I actually believe this stuff?!?)
jehovah's witnesses do not do that!
again: jehovah's witnesses do!
jehovah's witnesses!.
Why do you say that, Keyser Soze? Didn't Jesus tell us that in the last days we would worship the Father with spirit and TRUTH? (John 4:23).
While all other religions CLAIM to teach the truth, Jehovah's Witnesses alone follows the Bible completely, even when it is not popular with the world. The world says that blood may be needed to save a life. However, though unpopular, Jehovah's Witnesses refuse to compromise their integrity and follow the Bible's strict order to "abstain from blood". (Acts 15:29)
When Jesus was talking to the Sameritan woman, she asked him a question. It is a vital question that we all answer. She said, "Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem." Did Jesus tell her that it didn't matter? That one could belong to any religion of his or her choosing? Are all religions roads leading to the same place? Or did he tell her that something specific was required to please God?
Jesus answered that our worship MUST be based on truth. If truth could not be found, then how could we worship God? Religious truth exists, and the evidence shows that Jehovah's visible organization alone is teaching it.

So I take it you will use logical fallacies, evasiveness, deception, selective quoting, mis-quoting, sweeping generalisations and cite fairy stories as your authority?
Or course! Is there any other way. I think I packed it pretty thick on my first post! I haven't even gotten started yet! The Watchtower is the only true religion. We can use whatever techniques we need to bring real truth to people yearning for truth in this wicked system of things!
jehovah's witnesses do not do that!
again: jehovah's witnesses do!
jehovah's witnesses!.
Londo111, Jesus said that we would be persecuted for his name. Being banned is always a possibility. But I take my side with Jehovah of Armies! The truth cannot be silenced!

My original posts will be full of WT jargon and will sound like a gung ho JW. I'll argue "well" when people start to contribute. But the OP will be my "presentation" to sway others to my line of thinking. Then we can debate.
Zabastian, your name is forever associated with an apostate site. Sorry!
jehovah's witnesses do not do that!

In this wicked world that we live in it seems that everyone is looking for a solution to the problems that we see around us. Some turn to politics. Some turn to science. Some turn to religion. Where in this wicked old world can we truly find answers that matter?
Many have turned to the Bible for these answers. But with so many religions, how can we find one that actually teaches the truth about the Bible? The Bible has been around for thousands of years. We see thousands of religions that claim to teach the Bible. So where can we find an organization that actually IS teaching biblical truth?
Fortunately for us, God's word prophesied that there would one day be a people called by his own name. (Is 43:10). Who is the ONLY religion that bears God's true name, Jehovah? These people are a group of men and women that you come across every day. They are your neighbors. They work with you. They go to school with you. These people are non other than Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jehovah's Witnesses are united in the same teachings throughout the world. What is taught from the Bible in the United States is the same information being taught in the tundras of Africa. These men and women teach the truth from the Bible. They believe that they have the only true religion. Why? Jesus Christ certainly didn't agree that there are many religions that are acceptable to him. He said in Matthew 7:14 that only a few would find the road to salvation. Jehovah's Witnesses have found that road! How do we know?
One reason is the identifying mark of a true religion that Jesus gave us. John 13:35 states that people would recognize the true religion by the love that it shows. What are Jehovah's Witnesses record? As Jesus showed, true love comes from teaching others about God's Word. No one is teaching the truth about God's word to the extent that Jehovah's Witnesses are. We preach in 236 lands worldwide! We publish Bibles and bible based literature in 540 languages! There are over 7 million of us serving each other in love in over 109,000 congregations!
How else do we show love? We REFUSE to go to war. Many religions do a work of caring for the sick, elderly, and poor. However, what happens when the nation goes to war? They go and kill their neighbor. Jehovah's Witnesses do not do that! The Bible teaches that we are to have no part in politics or worldly affairs of the nations.
Ask yourself a few questions in order to see what the true religion is: Which religion teaches its members to overcome political, racial, and economic barriers that divide people? We can easily answer that it is Jehovah's Christian Witnesses that do this! Which religion has a reputation for upholding the Bible's high moral standards? Again: Jehovah's Witnesses do! Which religion encourages people to study the scriptures to see if what they are learning is really true? JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES!
Yes, in this troubled world, we can find help and support and HOPE within God's TRUE theocratic visible organization.
