-Removed-You 'll get no direction from him because his institution does not want you to go through doctrine only seeing what you are already prepared to see; a JW wants you to go through doctrine prepared to see it all, so you have to evaluate the verses on your own, then ask questions -should you have any- and then debate -should you need to debate, that is.
There is no gathering around Robbie: GP is a non-JW Christian, Robbie is a JW and me is an atheist. My view is different than Robbie's and Boston Lad's. No big deal🙂
We are all different. Even you. No big deal too😵

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyIndeed Blackbeetle hit it right on the button, he is not prepared to make an evaluation of scriptural texts but seeks some kind of justification for his own prejudices, in the form of a question, which does not have a yes or no answer. Uninterested in reason as evidenced by not a single reference to any of the texts that beetle posted, there is no dilemma, either a willingness to use ones mind so as to form a consensus on the basis of scriptural evidence or to remain with preconceptions, same old story.

If God Almighty in His Omniscience and Omnipotence refuses to meddle with the volition of men [1st Class Condition in the Koine Greek: "if and it's true"], shouldn't we also respect the persuasions of others and leave the matter in His hands?
