(Matthew 25:24-30) . . .“Finally the one that had received the one talent came
forward and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be an exacting man, reaping where you did
not sow and gathering where you did not winnow. So I grew afraid and went off and
hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ In reply his master said
to him, ‘Wicked and sluggish slave, you knew, did you, that I reaped where I did not
sow and gathered where I did not winnow? Well, then, you ought to have deposited
my silver monies with the bankers, and on my arrival I would be receiving what is
mine with interest. “‘Therefore TAKE away the talent from him and give it to him
that has the ten talents. For to everyone that has, more will be given and he will
have abundance; but as for him that does not have, even what he has will be taken
away from him. And throw the good-for-nothing slave out into the darkness outside.
There is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.’
Who are these ones that Christ speaks of?

publicly disseminate Biblical truths? You are interested in truths, aren't you. What will
you say to the Christ upon his return, 'here you are Jesus, take what is yours ?'
Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou know nothing about whether or not I have hidden any talent, so your judgment will be pointless. You [and Galveston] seem fond of telling people what works you [JWs] do, but thats not a good trait .. its a trait for which Christ condemned the Pharisees. So you would never find me asking or telling about works. My works is none of your concern. Your works is none of my concern, so keep it yourself.

The only thing I constantly affirm is that good works are very important as Christ said he will judge according to works.
The WatchTower has publicly proclaimed itself Gods organisation and a propagator of Gods truth. Therefore they are accountable for their false statements, prophesies and shameless lies.

truths Rajk, you are critical of our efforts, how do you do it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible:
"The one talent - The design of this part of the parable is to show that no one is excused for neglecting his duty because he has few talents. God will require of him only according to his ability, 1 Corinthians 4:2; Luke 12:48; 2 Corinthians 8:12."

because of his ability or lack of, it was his sluggishness in carrying out his
responsibilities.

truths. I am not asking how much or how little, to whom, where or why, simply your
methods. This is not about you personally, but about your methods, do you slink up to
guys at the bar and gingerly say, 'hey buddy would you like a free home Bible study?'
Do you have a sandwich board and parade up and down the streets. What is your
method, you are critical of the methods of others so tell us how you do it, Mr. Big?

disseminating biblical truths since Raj cannot come up with a single evidence detailing
not only of his methods but that he actually engages in it at all.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieYou dont need a 'method' to tell people about Christ. I have been telling people about Christ on this forum since 2004.
yet you are critical of the efforts of others,..
I have ask you nothing about yourself and what you do personally, neither will I ever answer any such question about myself so stop asking.
I am critical of the WatchTower society because they have held themselves out to be Gods organization and the sole authority for dissemination of Gods truth and have succeeded in fooling millions with their false doctrines and false prophesies. Christ warned about just that type of 'wolves in sheep's clothing'.
I am currently doing my part on this forum to warn people about the Jehovah Witnesses and their cult organisation which has very little to do with the teachings of Christ.
The only thing you know of me is from this forum and thats all you need to know. Christ knows the rest.
