That's nice. I used to be a born-again christian too.
So now?

No they don't talk to Jesus they only talk to their other imaginary friend that they call Jehovah.
Hi Cofty. I used to study with the Jehovah's Witnesses, (about four years weekly spread over 20 years). At the time I was searching, and they were nice people. I was always searching, until the day God convicted me of my sins, and taught and led me. Never forget that time!

Nobody on Earth, right now talks to Jesus, and he definitely doesn't talk back, either.
Hi Dunedain. Why do you say that? How can we have a relationship WITH Jesus if we do not speak or listen to him?
Eternal life is KNOWING the Father and the Son, and to KNOW someone, we need to communicate with them, otherwise we only know ABOUT them, and it's not the same.
Eg, Jesus said: 'You search the scriptures thinking that in THEM you will find eternal life, but it's THESE that speak of me, and you refuse to COME TO ME that you may have life'. Scriptures certainly show that we can go to the Son of God.
To NOT speak to/ listen to our Savior, Lord, King and Mediator between God and Man is to ignore him... and why would a Christian do that? As I said to my friend: How would YOUR son feel if people came to your door (Jesus is the door) and completely snubbed him, (because men told them not to talk to him), and crowded around you, while treating him as if he did not exist, even though he laid down his life for them.'

Hi LQ, Interesting thoughts.
Yes, a poll would be good, (are there poll facilities here? I'm on my mobile so can't see!).

They would view praying and talking as the same thing
LQ thank you. That is exactly my point.
He said that at a convention he attended, the JWs talked TO Jesus all the time.
Then he said that talking is not the same thing as praying, and that we PRAY to the Father, but can TALK to Jesus. I'm stumped by his comments!! And he told me I talk a load of rubbish (by saying that the JWs do not speak to Jesus at all, because he said they DO talk to Jesus), and told me to prove that they don't. Which is why I'm asking

Hi all thanks. Just as I thought.
But, talking to Jesus in the Spirit realm and listening in the spirit realm (not to a literal voice, but to the silent inner voice of the Lord) is praying, and I can't understand why he (my friend) states there is a difference between communicating in the spirit realm and prayer?
Nevertheless, he swears that Jehovah's Witnesses don't pray to Jesus but do talk to Jesus all the time. He is clearly wrong, yes?
What say the Jehovah's Witnesses here?

I used to study with Jehovah's Witnesses and understand they do not pray to Jesus. However, me and a friend are debating this. He said that Jehovah's Witnesses don't pray to Jesus but do talk to him (which I've never heard before). He said there's a difference in praying and speaking but I can not see any difference. If Jehovah's Witnesses do not PRAY to Jesus, they don't SPEAK to Jesus; correct?
Thanks.
