@philokalia saidI disagree.
You should bring it up separate from old forum drama as a topic to be discussed independently.
@galveston75 saidDo you have some sort of clear principle according to which you decide it is the right time and basis for ostracizing other believers in Jesus and when it is the wrong time and basis for ostracizing other believers in Jesus?
I know some here believe that they are saved. I do understand it is a very personal subject and one that most will become defensive over if they are questioned about. I have family members that have made that very clear to me over the years to the point they want nothing to do with me because I questioned them about it.
@philokalia saidI disagree with you. You should post as you see fit. But you're wasting your time using so many of your posts to express your disapproval of my contributions.
It derails the thread and frames everything in the context of finger pointing and conflict.

Maybe your Christian family members basically just 'disfellowshipped' you. That's when people have "nothing to do with" someone in a concerted way.

Would you like to explain your logic behind bringing up forum fights from several years ago or more..?
I think that, if you reflect on it, you will understand why it's not a good idea.
@philokalia saidI am fine with how I post. I have nothing to explain to you.
Alright.

The OP poster is a Jehovah's Witness. Factoring this into what I post is not "bringing up forum fights from several years ago".
Everything I have said about the OP so far on this thread has been completely on-topic.
@galveston75 saidFirstly one has to believe they are in some danger in order to be saved.
I know some here believe that they are saved.
Whether theist or atheist I hope all know that they are safe.
I do.
I hope you do too.

@galveston75 saidThat's not what he asked you.
No JW's are saved. Your salvation is between you and Jehovah just as it is with every human on the planet. No man or church or organization can save you.
Please answer his question.
