They also did this with Pontius Pilate when he said: "What is truth?". They said he was mocking truth and not really asking a question.

Imo he was somewhat cynical but also was curious.

I'll try. The witness philosophy is a whole bunch of if's. If all their base assumptions are right then it makes sense. If the governing body is God's channel then what they say must be right. So there is many layers here. First off the bible never mentions inactive ones as a label. The letters to the congregations in revelation are good things and bad things about the individual congregations. It's like judging someone when you say they are inactive because what that really means is they are slacking and good people don't slack therefore the 'inactive one' is not a good person. You know what this is exactly what happens in society such as 'oh that person is succesful so he must be a good person' or 'that person is poor so he must be a bad person'. It is like the man who built his house on sand- maybe he built it faster and it is complete so all those watching judge him to be the better man and the man who dug down and built on rock is mocked by onlookers saying 'he is not a good worker look at the other man - he is done already!' So appearances can be deceiving and the witnesses have built appearance based works by their very nature i.e. time slips, number of return visits, years an elder, return visits. How bout the widow who dropped 2 coins of small value in.

Anyhow their works are bad anyway and it's little wonder noone wants to go spreading that garbage around.

Heres a scripture: 1 Pet 2:20"But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God." So it is actually a credit to not spread cult literature around.

Talmud and Jehovah's Witnesses law eerily similar

this is the summary of chapter 6 of the book sanhedrin in the talmud( judaism ).. "rules and regulations concerning the execution by stoning and the manner of heralding.

how the criminal was urged to confess before death.

the stripping off before death of the dress of a male and of a female.

This is the summary of chapter 6 of the book Sanhedrin in the Talmud( Judaism ).

"RULES AND REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE EXECUTION BY STONING AND THE MANNER OF HERALDING. HOW THE CRIMINAL WAS URGED TO CONFESS BEFORE DEATH. THE STRIPPING OFF BEFORE DEATH OF THE DRESS OF A MALE AND OF A FEMALE. THE HANGING AFTER STONING, AND HOW IT WAS PERFORMED."

This is very similar to the disfellowshipping process. 1) You must confess to humans. 2) You must be stripped of dignity 3) Finally you are executed

and 4) hanging after you are executed (disfellowshipped) by slander and shunning.

Draw your own conclusions but imo this shows a pattern of evil cults.

Evolution and Jehovah's witnesses are just extensions of freemasonry aka ancient philosophie from greek. Let's compare:

Devil says: you can become like God.

Evolution says: you keep getting better and better. Except now it's transhumanism which basically says humans can become like gods. Very similar.

Erasmus Darwin was a freemason naturalist and came up with the modern idea of evolution. Grandfather of Charles Darwin. Josia Wedgewood

fellow member of the lunar society with Erasmus and likely another freemason also grandfather of Charles Darwin.

It all comes from freemasonry. Same lie.

cofty I don't need to read a book when I see it coming from his mouth directly.

23:12 it looks like a small rat-deer to me. Regardless he believes some small rat like deer/wolf mammal turned into a whale. case closed.

I know I don't even have to watch the video. A fish turned into a deer then that jumped back in the ocean and ballooned into a whale. It's amazing how a deer can just metamorphisize like that. That's what jerry coyne believes anyway.

the public edition jan 1, 2015 is talking about a survey of praying to jesus and makes this comment:.

youth crossed out the name jesus on the survey.

and wrote god instead.. it then goes on to say no one talked to a heavenly creature that is not god without being spoken to first?.

The public edition jan 1, 2015 is talking about a survey of praying to Jesus and makes this comment:

However, one
youth crossed out the name Jesus on the survey
and wrote “God” instead.

It then goes on to say no one talked to a heavenly creature that is not God without being spoken to first?

" In all such
instances, the heavenly creatures initiated
the communication. Faithful men and
women reserved prayer for God alone."

right off the top off my head Paul asked Christ to remove the thorn in the flesh and Jesus wasn't talking to him and also the same with Stephen when he said "Lord Jesus receive my spirit."

Are they trolling? What are they trying to accomplish by this obvious false statement?
