@Island man i think you know that 'christians' in this world do not see Jehovah's witnesses as christians and visa versa so your question makes no sense. We see ourselves as true christians.. everyone who disagrees is not. Simple as that. i am not here to argue doctrines or explain teachings. I just stated in this topic that we are not afraid of anything but simply ignore those who are against us.

112Why are JWs so afraid of apostates?
by Magnum inwhy are jws so afraid of apostates?
their view of apostates seems to be out of the realm of the ordinary, the natural.
its as if the words of apostates are supernatual or spiritistic as if apostates are some kind of jedi knights who can slightly wave their hands or twitch their eyes and bring one under a spell.

@Island man of course i would not mingle with those who hate my favorite spiritual food... thats obvious. When it comes to faith and worship its a matter of life and death, in my opinion.
i would not want to have anything to do with those who hate life and propagate death. And i dont care what you think about it. Shunning apostates is a biblical teaching its in that book for a reason.

@DuvanMuvan i have no problem with people that dont believe in God. Even if i heard that he/she was a former JW i would not have a problem. As a matter a fact i know many people that were brought up in a JW household but who did not became one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
As soon as former JW's turn into anti-jw activists i would not mingle with them in real life. Why should i do that with people who have started to hate and despise the thing that i love?

@DuvanMuvan the scriptures that were quoted by Laika do not apply to apostates. Jesus does not Love Satan nor does he love the demons..... as a matter a fact he despises them

Why did Jesus tell the convict on the cross next to his, that he would be joining him in Heaven TODAY??
by Faithful Witness inmaybe a silly question, but i'm curious about this part of the story of christ's crucifixion, when the 1 thief challenges jesus to save himself and "us too" from their deaths, but the 2nd thief rebukes him and pleads with jesus... .
luke 23:42-43: and he said unto jesus, lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
and jesus said unto him, verily i say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.. .

Do you know Fred Pearce? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Pearce
I dont care what you believe or wont believe but unfortunately some things are real. One of them is that, with or without a God, mankind is doomed. The end is coming... and its coming at high speed

JWs think the END is coming any day now. Imagine their disappointment.

I am reading a book titled : "The Last Generation" by Fred Pearce it has nothing to do with Jehovah's Witnesses but is all about science. Bottom line is, according to the book,... the end is coming any day now.

What does 1 Peter 3:19, 20 mean? “In this state [in the spirit, following his resurrection] also he [Jesus] went his way and preached to the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls [“souls,” KJ, Dy; “people,” TEV, JB; “persons,” RS], were carried safely through the water.” (Were those “spirits in prison” the souls of the humans who had refused to take heed to Noah’s preaching before the Flood, and was the way now open for them to go to heaven?
Comparison of 2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 6 with Genesis 6:2-4 shows that these spirits were angelic sons of God that had materialized and married in Noah’s day. At 1 Peter 3:19, 20 the Greek word for “spirits” is pneu′ma·sin, while the word rendered “souls” is psy·khai′. The “spirits” were not disembodied souls but disobedient angels; the “souls” here referred to were living people, humans, Noah and his household. What was preached to “spirits in prison” must therefore have been a message of judgment.)
What is the meaning of 1 Peter 4:6? “In fact, for this purpose the good news was declared also to the dead, that they might be judged as to the flesh from the standpoint of men but might live as to the spirit from the standpoint of God.” (Were these “dead” the people who had died prior to the death of Christ? As already shown, the dead are not “the spirits in prison.” Those spirits were disobedient angels. And preaching would not have benefited physically dead humans because, as Ecclesiastes 9:5 says, they “are conscious of nothing at all,” and Psalm 146:4 adds that at death a person’s “thoughts do perish.” But Ephesians 2:1-7, 17 does refer to persons who were spiritually dead and who came to life spiritually as a result of accepting the good news.)
