We should always try reasoning on Scripture. If the total summation of your spirituality is to attack Jehovahs Witnesses then you may end up like divesgeester, devoid of reason, exposed and condemned by his own words, a floundering shell of a Christian. If you are going to sow hatred then don't be surprised if you reap it, much better it is to appeal to reason.
Lord knows we've all tried.
But because you insist on staying enslaved to the 'faithful and discreet slave'™, it is you who stands "devoid of reason, exposed and condemned by his own words, a floundering shell of a Christian".
But I'm not holding my breath waiting for a change.

My work here is done, you may tell the Christ upon his return why you have hidden your talent.

Once again what we see is a spirit of personal convenience rather than a true Christian spirit of self sacrifice.

-Removed-First of all i do not hold that the views are conflicting, it is your assertion not mine, why don't you justify it yourself it would be a novelty and no problem for a man of great erudition and reasoning abilities like yourself.
Secondly i am not a spokesperson for the Watchtower Bible and tract society of Pennsylvania incorporated, if you have any questions regarding their publications i suggest you write phone or email them, you may visit their site at www.jw.org
If you have any Biblical scriptures to discuss i will be more than happy to discuss them.
