If one is JW they can confirmation bias around anything to continue their beliefs, as can any religious person:
"Matt: I speak with him regularly. I am aware of his presence.... though I admit, I sometimes ignore it. I know the intimacy of communion with Him.... of speaking His name to Him, of praising the Lamb and saying Holy Holy Holy to him. You cannot do that. You cannot pray to Him and talk to Him. I can. You cannot come to Him and ask Him anything. I can...and I do. I have no one telling me to do it or not. I hear Him call me in my heart into His presence. Do you have that with Him?
Ted: The Father is the one who gives all gifts. He is the one we need to ask.
Matt: Jesus said
"Come to me" (
Matt. 11:27-28). Have you done that?
Ted: Yup, he lead me the the Father (
John 14:6) .
Matt: Jesus has all authority in heaven and earth (
Matt. 28:18). He forgives sin. Have you gone to Him and asked him to forgive you. The Father will honor us if we serve Jesus -
John 12:26. The Father tells us to listen to Jesus -
Luke 9:35;
Matt. 17:5. The Father tells us to come to Jesus -
John 6:45. The Father draws us to Jesus -
John 6:44. If you have the Father, then you will come to Jesus, listen to Jesus, be drawn to Jesus, serve Jesus, etc. Is that what you do?
Ted: Once one is drawn to the Father through Jesus then he prays to the Father in Jesus' name. That is what Jesus taught us to do. And that is what I do.
Matt: And how do you have a relationship with someone you never talk to?
Ted: Because he is used by the Father to guide me with the holy spirit. So when I pray to the Father for assistance and I feel the holy spirit it is Jesus who is operating the spirit.
Matt: But, how do you have a relationship with someone you never talk to?
Ted: I understand that you feel you talk to Jesus and he answers you. But most Trinitarians do not hear Jesus literally. . "
