it seems kind of crazy to go to someone's house touting your religion as truth and then not even defend your own beliefs.
why do jws stop the chat if someone just tries to calmly reason/debate with them?
i'm not talking about crazy preachers who start slamming bibles and yelling about how they need jesus or something.
DATA, you're comparing apples to oranges. You're comparing a 'dark place' with the BOE. They're not the same, in fact they're exact opposites, and need to be dealt with in different ways.
"For everything there is an appointed time...a time to keep quiet and a time to speak." (Ecc 3:1,7)
And DATA, I DON'T disagree with the GB. When they say JW's should stay off apostate websites, they're right. I'm just stubborn.

DATA, I agree with the GB that apostate sites are dangerous, in more ways than one.
I think Jehovah tolerates me being here because I'm learning so much, but not what you might think.
LOL, but I actually do more research in our literature to respond to this forum than I do in prepping for the meetings.
Being on this forum is one of the few ways Jehovah can get me to 'crack a book'. One of the private jokes between Jehovah and I.
Being on this forum is also teaching me what happens to people when they leave the Truth. They become like OUTLAW. Profane.

Vidiot, why would I want to say that to the BOE and 'rock the boat?' That wouldn't be very discreet.

nonjwspouse, curiosity lead me to this forum. I wanted to 'see how the other half lives', spiritually.
And yes, putting my faith into words helps me to understand it.

DATA, your psychological bovine excrement won't work on me.
As much as I love Jehovah's earthly organization, I don't answer to them.
I answer to Jehovah.

punkofnice, I post for many reasons: to give lurkers a different perspective, to strengthen my own faith by expressing it in words, and to be a lamp shining in a dark place. (2 Peter 1:19)
I am so looking forward to this book. I love to read about reverent people; and how it is possible to love and be loved by the Creator and keeper of the universe, Jehovah.

punkofnice, I don't start a thread because what would be the point? Pearls before swine. Just sayin'. (Matt 7:6)
the jehovah`s witnesses have been saying this for decades .do you beleive it to be true ?
/ false ?.
what do the facts show.
stillin, you came closest to the right answer than anyone else.
It is a spiritual paradise if you're in it for the right reason: to nurture a close personal relationship with Jehovah.
If you're in it for any other reason, you may be wasting your time.
this is my opinion, i'd like to hear from others on the topic, the bible says to get out of her my people.. never says where to go.
just get out like lot and his family were told to get out.
lot wasn't told were to go just like we aren't told were to go.. .
Although roadrunner appears to be long gone, he was incorrect that Lot was not told where to go. Lot was told to escape to the mountainous region. (Gen 19:17)
Just sayin'...
