    New proseltysing tactic

    The thing is that this is the way we worship our God. And if it's banned then it has to do with restricting the freedom of religion. Jehovah's Witnesses have been before the court for our work before and won. And because of it we've done a real favor for the right of others to practice their...

    New proseltysing tactic

    Do you mean that Jesus and the apostless didn't favor any particular religious teaching or practice? That they were strenghtening all beliefs equally? Does the Bible, Jesus and the apostles strengthen the faith of Satan worshipers?

    New proseltysing tactic

    I pretty much agree Vinyaka. If some of Jehovah's Witnesses is using aggressive and deceptive methods then he isn't following the guidelines we are taught to follow. The point of our door to door work is to seek those who are really interested to discuss or study the Bible with us. Others we...

    New proseltysing tactic

    Thanks for some valid points. What I understand from the Bible is that Jesus followers in the first century used both tactics. People came to them and they went to people's homes. Based on my personal experience there are actually relatively many who appreciate the visits of Jehovah's...

    New proseltysing tactic

    In my mind being led directly by Jesus (through holy spirit) and being led by others who are led by Jesus can co-exist in perfect harmony. If we base our beliefs on the Bible then Christianity involves a reality called congregation/s. According to the New Testament some people were supposed...

    New proseltysing tactic

    You're right. I don't doubt that there are people who have had bad experiences within the organization of Jehovah's witnesses or bad experiences with the witnesses. But often things get distorted, especially in the media. Not always but often. You know, scandals, exposures and things like that...

    New proseltysing tactic

    I'm sorry for oversimplification. There are many reasons why people leave religious organizations, including mine. But it doesn't make the organization wrong. Before I became a Witness I did a thorough research on opposing opinions and materials and based on that research I noticed that there's...

    New proseltysing tactic

    Not everyone who disagrees is necessarily dishonest. And not not all who disagree are opposers of JW's. I was talking primarily about JW apostates who know the truth about things, but what they present to the public is either total lies or they leave something important out of their story...

    New proseltysing tactic

    Opposers. And by opposers I mean those who are on a mission against JW's. Especially apostates.

    New proseltysing tactic

    It's important to put things in right perspective. Things get out of proportions easily. Generally speaking when Witnesses are being accused, it is because they follow the Bible closely. Refusing participating in military service or political conflicts, door-to-door witnessing, how to deal with...

    New proseltysing tactic

    Mystic64 you're raising some valid questions here. You are also bringing up some common misunderstandings about JW beliefs. And in reality JW organization pretty much agrees with you when it comes to understanding the Bible, who are in the "Book of Life" and having blind faith in mortal men...

    People Who Believe Jesus Will Return:

    Thanks for your comments Shiranui117, I agree with you that Jesus' body after the resurrection wasn't intangible or illusory. It was a real physical body. If you remember from the Bible (Book of Genesis) what some of the angels did before the great flood, they materialized real tangible human...

    The Latter Days - Multi-Religious Discussion

    Thanks Farrukh. That was interesting. That has some similarities with the Bible. I remember that a Muslim relative of mine also mentioned the return of Jesus. It's interesting.

    People Who Believe Jesus Will Return:

    Thank you Shrianui117. I think that staying watchful and to be prepared is a really good advice when it comes to the coming of Christ. The way I see it the "Last Day", the resurrection and the judgement is going to be a longer time period. Thousand years actually. I can't remember the names...

    The Latter Days - Multi-Religious Discussion

    Hi Farrukh! I see you are a Muslim. So what does the Quran say about the End Times? A one relative of mine who is a Muslim once tried to explain it to me, but I can't remember what he said. So I would be happy to learn more about it.

    The Holy Spirit

    God directs all his true servants. It's just that the body has different parts with different functions. Governing body is appointed for a special assignment, which is the distribution of spiritual food to Jesus' sheep. And I want to emphasize this distribution of spiritual food (knowledge)...

    The Holy Spirit

    He guides them through holy spirit. It's the same as how the Book of Acts describe the first century Governing Body in Jerusalem was guided by Jesus through holy spirit in the circumcision matter. It's in Acts chapter 15. Now some men came down from Ju·de′a and began to teach the...

    The Latter Days - Multi-Religious Discussion

    Matthew chapter 24. tells what Jesus thought about the "Signs of the Times". "While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of...

    People Who Believe Jesus Will Return:

    Hi Shiranui117! I don't know much about Eastern Orthodox faith. I used to be really interested in the prayer of the heart though and read some books about it. It was back in my mystic days. What is the traditional Eastern Orthodox teaching on Jesus' return? I'm just interested. The way I...

    Best explanations of the Gospel?

    Gospel is that Lord's prayer will be fully answered: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth." The restoration of universal peace and harmony. No more sickness or death. No more crime...
