The question then, Do you get tired from arguing with other christians and what -really- makes you continue to go on about the same topics, year in year out?

lol, I am lucky (get on with inlaws). Qua, do you hope from your "debates" that the christians on the other side may agree with you and turn to your way of worship? Or are you stating the opposite to them because you just wish for like "trouble" or is it because other people observing, that may wish to convert to christanity hear your "correct" version? Or something else?

Oh hell no! That would be boring. I said a long time ago, what works for me, works for me. If asked a question, I'll answer it. If told I'm wrong, then the fun begins...prove it.
If told I'm going to hell, then I invite the informer to "lead the way"... 
Sort of like arguing with in-laws...

It is not "my" correct version that I am worried about but the version we were given by God.

Which one of his versions? The version you tell? Mee tells? Qua tells? It's just... I dunno, you all are SOOOO sure that you have god's truth.. I find this pretty interesting, you're all trying to worship and please the same god, yet there are so many points that differ. Just makes me wonder what made you all so sure you had the real deal.

there is only one truth, and that is eternal and unchanging, and that is: jesus is our lord god and saviour; he is the way, the truth, and the life; and you cannot get to the father but through him. all others that deny this truth either strip the divinity of christ away as god's son, strip the credibility of the holy bible away, or strip the concept of the trinity away that god is the father, son, and holy ghost. that is the universal truth for all man and is the foundation of christianity. when you build on top of that you are building on the foundational rock that is jesus christ. everything else false and building upon the sand. these are not my words, but the words of god spoken through the prophets, the psalmist, through disciples, though apostles, through jesus christ as found in the holy bible and through the spirit.

that is such a tired argument that trinity is not found in the bible, but good response to it nevertheless. those that do not see it, it is obvious they have preconceived notions and blinders on that they pick and choose scripture to meet their objectives, but do not take the bible in as a whole.. when it is found that it doesnt go with their interpretation, they just just the words of the bible to meet their needs. sad.

making known and talking about the wonderful promises in the bible and the things that Jesus himself taught is enlightenment indeed for me, and i cant help myself i want to shout it from the roof tops . the bible is a wonderful book of prophecies and they are all coming true, this earth will be turned into a paradise just as God originally intended ,and it will all come true good news indeed.
And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come. matthew 24;14 the end of this manmade system of things in the power of the wicked one ,(satan the devil) 1 John 5;19but a paradise earth that Jehovah God is making new.
And the One seated on the throne said: "Look! I am making all things new." Also, he says: "Write, because these words are faithful and true." revelation 21;5

So you basically believe you have found the truth manily on how you see prophecy coming true? Such as the pain/death/sickness/war/diesease/natural disasters..... You're that sure? Because since as long as history these "last day" signs have been here. Mee, how long have you been a JW?

That sounds more like an advert than why you believe you have found the truth...
