Hillary__Step:
some would actually testify that they now have a stronger, more honest faith in God and Christ outside of the WTS theology
Then, if that is the case it would be appropriate for them to leave the organization. Why should that even be an issue? Let them take their new found faith and stand before the Judge.
How any person could read these words and claim to understand them as does the WTS and then seek to judge through the establishment of 'one rule for all' theology is tragic.
You are denying the fact that the 1st century congregation had authority to "hand over to Satan" any who were judged as blasphemers or apostates. That authority to judge is from Christ.
This true humility is sadly lacking in the theology of the WTS who are convinced that the only JW’s, and then only those with strong faith in the WTS theology will survive.
You are presumptuous in assuming that YOU know how Christ's judgments are going to be leveled.
Even a recent WT, describes any who harbor ‘private views about the Bible’ as being immature. By this definition You Know, that is how a person like yourself is viewed by his masters, as immature, yet obviously from the ability that have to think for yourself this cannot be countenanced as a reality. Can it?
Like I said, I correspond frequently with brothers at Bethel. They know my name, address, phone number, congregation, and all that stuff. In all the years they have never felt the need to examine me. I am sure though that if I started bring up the hot-button topics dear to apostates that there would be an inquirey. Like I said, it all goes to intention.
As I previously mentioned to you You Know, if you have divergent views to the WTS you are classed by them into two specific categories. 1) As a person with one brick short of a load. In this case you would be humored, even loved as an eccentric.
That may well be. And that's fine.
1) but if you would like to test this, I will give you some questions that you may include in your next correspondence with the WTS which would quickly have you placed into the other category.
No doubt, that's because your questions are going to be the sort of questions that apostates always ask. I happen to know the answers to your questions, so why should I pretend that I need Bethel to answer them for me? / You Know
