Clearly they believe "membership has it's rewards", but they won't clearly define what those rewards are, or importanly the consequences of not being a member.

Or we can all continue to pop open the Ribena and cracker bread, become lone
Christians with no organisation, no brotherhood, no public ministry and no future in
Gods New world, reason enough to ditch being a nominal Christian and join the
beautiful worldwide brotherhood of Jehovahs witnesses I would say.

I can wholeheartedly confirm with no malice; that if your religion was the last and only one on earth, I wouldn't join it. The reason has nothing to do your arrogance here either; I just know too much about the organisation, it's failings, crazy doctrines and importantly what it can do to those within it. These things are all well publicised.

You're absolutely right, I couldn't, I can't.

that is simply because one needs to be a doer of the word, not a hearer only, you
simply prefer the relative comfort of your own self certified opinions, like all nominal
christians you are unwilling to lift a single finger to help others learn the truth of Gods
word and yet here you are pontificating from your throne of self righteousness about
how we are this and that, yup, a true talker of the talk.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about little man. If you even know my name I'll be very impressed.

you keep talking, we shall keep walking, have a pleasant day.

(James 1:23-25) . . .For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is
like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror.  For he looks at himself, and off he
goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is.  But he who peers into the
perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in [it], this [man], because he has
become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing [it].

Thank you for your judgemental and condesending help.

Hummmm, last one on earth. You just might see that one day.
Revelation speaks of the "Great Harlot" being destroyed one day. This "harlot" is no more then false religion. So if there is a true religion and it is still here after all the false religions are gone, check it out if you can.

Coincidentally I've just posted about this in another thread. You and robbie seen to think that people who are not trapped in your cult don't think, read or consider God's will for them.

I see your organisation as part of the problem, certainly not the biggest part by far, but a vicious clamp on the minds of people who Christ would set free from the bondage of self-righteousness and self-glory, traits that are consistently evident in both yours and robbie’s posts.

What's a "public ministry", knocking on doors and annoying people?

No, stop deflecting again. Spolier alert: here comes a direct question...

I'm just asking you if knocking on people's doors and annoying them with your organisation's propaganda is what you are referring to as "public ministry"?

Uh do YOU not read the bible at all? Have YOU not read anything about Jesus and what he did? Have YOU not read anything in the bible as to the COMMANDS that Jesus told YOU to do if you claim to be a Christian?

I say not or else you would not make these non Christian comments and not find the words of Jesus that we bring to YOUR door so annoying..................

You need to make you a silly little sign and hang it on your door saying: " Do not knock on my anti-Christ door, I hate Jesus".

You do that and we'll never knock on your door again!
