I looked at the first video and I liked what the woman said about how the leaders of the Jehovah's Witnesses tell their members to avoid learning about the beliefs of Christians from their point of view, as if we Christian had a contagious disease.

So all kidding Aside........G-Man I want you to see the big picture on this bible thing. God made man's mind right? Man being able to read and all right? Then God orchestrated the book we call the bible in such a way that it was written. Words are to be read by man and comprehended by man. How does God mainly communicate with man? At least in the time and a ...[text shortened]... sal and meant for all mankind and that God can work through any medium He Chooses.

Satan is ruling now as we speak. God clearly in the Bible says "he will have a people for his name" which is "Jehovah" and that many will not find the narrow gate and as you know most will not find that way out of this world as we know it and gain God's protection.
Not mine or the WTS thoughts but in make you mad or upset that we don't choose to endanger out relationship with Jehovah?

You say that the Bible says "he will have a people for his name" which is "Jehovah" but others have a different poin of view. Here is another view:
Now James is a very, very Jewish guy. Notice that when he mentions Peter – he calls him Simon. [Acts 15:14-19]
[b]"Simon has declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take out of them a people ...[text shortened]... I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me..."

"Jesus said, " I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me..."
Just don't get that scripture do you? Who's name? Not Jesus or it would have been worded different ( such as "I came in my name which is also the same as my fathers". We share the same name."
But not even close to that strange description is it?
But it says God's name who is Jehovah, not Jesus.
Originally posted by galveston75The bible says if you draw near to God then the devil will flee so why are you so afraid of Satan? If you do what the bible says no fear. Also I guess this is where you and I will disagree once again as the WTS and awake is not the only means by which God communicates his truths from the bible. You kinda make sound like non JWs have no chance of understanding the bible and even respecting God and wanting to know God more.

Originally posted by menace71Now you are completely taking Jesus out of the picture Manny? He is our "mediator" or the word or spokesman between humans and God, his Father Jehovah.
Do you think almighty God needs anything or anyone to communicate his truths to man? No not really!!! This is why are start to get frustrated with you guys. God does not need any group or anything. He has choosen to use his people throughout the ages and has the written word for man but it's the exclusively that you claim is how we know the WTS is not right.
Originally posted by menace71I've never said either one of these things so now your putting words in my mouth?

Also the word "LORD" is not a name but a title so that is not the name of God.
