What I do understand, is that the four of you believe what you believe, and none has any doubt. But since you can't come to an agreement, and it is beginning to sound like a turf skirmish, you need to agree to disagree, and let it be.

As I believe I once said before, if the "Jesus saves" is the part we all do not question, then we're heading in the right direction.

Q

yes i agree , and this thread is a Jehovahs witness perspective thread after all. but it seems to me that some do not want JW perspective to be made known , and do try their best to stop it being made known . so getting back to the NWT, which as a JW i feel is a great blessing from Jehovah, and in Daniel 12;4 the time of the end will be a time when abundant true knowledge will be out there . And it is my belief that the NWT is just part of the true knowledge that Jehovah is providing in this time of the end. and that is from a JW perspective.

JWs are just as guilty of belittling others of their faith, Mee (I am personally aware of that fact). So don't ride so high in the saddle, that you run into a low tree bow...

The Bible, needs no defense. The perception of Jesus is different for many Christian denominations. All that matters is that Jesus is our Savior and Holy Redeemer. We can not get to the Father, but through His Son. The Son determines who is in the book of Life and who isn't. He is "The Son of God", He is what existence rests on.

The rest is a debate over nuances, and "diddlei dope, who don't believe impossible hope".

Taking offense for issues not addressed against one, is plain wrong...taking offense because one's way of thinking is not accepted (minds not changed), is "hooksbauch" (vain).

To "snipe" is not Christian like. In fact, it causes more damage than any non-Christian could possibly cause. That is why we call hidden shooters "snipers". Pot shots make everyone wince and scramble.

It's called discussion, not dissuasion.

No, are those bound and determined to harm the faith of others in Christianity simply because it does not conform to other versions of faith? Or are those interested in Discussion?

Like my father says, outside of a Court, unless one is a lawyer, one should ask questions one does not already know the answer to. That is how one learns.

This is a place of discussion. One says "I believe this'. Another says, "I believe that". Then the discussion of differences and acceptances can begin. on neutral ground. "you are wrong"...just doesn't work.

This is the reason that I learned as a Bible Student, almost ready to make a dedication, that Jehovah's organization encourages it's members to steer clear of Internet Forums (obviously something I haven't been good of in the past as I enjoy reading everyones views).

So, other then a few of the JW brothers and sisters, there's not many here since the Society (I hope to be part of someday) warns of how it can be damaging to one and subject to apostate influence. The topic of our meetings the last few weeks has been murmurings. Philippians 2:14 "Keep doing these things free from murmurings and arguments".

Oh, I get it. Sort of like warning a new tea todeler not to hang around those that drink, lest he fall back into that vice.

Makes sense.
