Our local Kingdom Hall just voted into surround our AC/Heating units with a fence due to increased theft due to drug use in our area and at the behest of our local law enforcement. So, if a property is vandalized repeatedly and they are advised, vote on, and pay for a gate that makes them a crazed cult?

[/quote] Who tells WHAT? to do WHAT? and we don't do WHAT? :another do: [/quote] Watchtower 2000 5/1 pp. 9-10 Firmly Uphold Godly Teaching Enemies of the Truth 8 Apostates can present yet another threat to our spirituality. The apostle Paul foretold that apostasy would arise among professed Christians. (Acts 20:29, 30; 2 Thessalonians 2:3) In fulfillment of his words, after the death of the apostles, a great apostasy led to the development of Christendom. Today, there is no great apostasy taking place among God’s people. Still, a few individuals have left our ranks, and some among them are bent on defaming Jehovah’s Witnesses by spreading lies and misinformation. A few work with other groups in organized resistance to pure worship. In doing so, they side with the very first apostate, Satan. 9 Some apostates are increasingly using various forms of mass communication, including the Internet, to spread false information about Jehovah’s Witnesses. As a result, when sincere individuals do research on our beliefs, they may stumble across apostate propaganda. Even some Witnesses have unwittingly exposed themselves to this harmful material. In addition, apostates occasionally take part in television or radio programs. What is the wise course to follow in view of this? 10 The apostle John directed Christians not to accept apostates into their homes. He wrote: “If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, never receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him. For he that says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.” (2 John 10, 11) Avoiding all contact with these opponents will protect us from their corrupt thinking. Exposing ourselves to apostate teachings through the various means of modern communication is just as harmful as receiving the apostate himself into our homes. Never should we allow curiosity to lure us into such a calamitous course!—Proverbs 22:3. [/quote] No where does that quote from the Watchtower say to (To quote you:-"stay off the internet"), as even The Watchtower has an official website. [/quote] Well considering I am an apostate, you are disobeying God according to the Governing Body by posting in this thread and on this website. So are you a faithful Witness or one who associates in a den of apostates? [/quote] This is my thread....not yours......but now that you have identified yourself:byekitty: [/quote] You know this is how many many Christians operate. If they have someone that disagrees with them, they blast them, and on glp stop them from being on their thread. A true Christian does not have to do that nor worry about what people say. When a true Christian is sealed with the whole plan of God, what words or belief can stand against the truth of Gods plan? I am NOT trying to insult you, but letting you know this is the method of many Christians and how they operate. So, yes we all know it is your thread. Personally I am happy that you started this thread and that you are trying to answer questions. But just think about it, if you keep someone from your thread, are you not really really following Gods plan that He wishes that ALL shall come to repentance? There are so many beliefs in what the Word says it is not funny at all. And Christians judge each other on what they believe is truth. I teach people how to read the Word for themselves. I said this before and NOT one responded to that posting. I got a tid bit of response, but it too was bogus. Peace , When people come at me hard, I love it. I let them be angry or upset, even the non-believers. Why? Because the Lord lets me help them get a handle on the Word. The harder they push, the more I get to teach. And don't tell me that what I just said is not true. I will have someone who was an atheist playing into mystics who I watched get baptized and came to God because I stood my ground not pushing anyone away. And that happened to someone who does not even live near me and is hundreds of miles away. While all of the Christians were fighting, I stood my course and kept teaching. And by that, the man and his wife were awoken and came to the Lord because I stayed faithful working in the field as the Lord tells us to do. The Lord does not say " OH push away who you wish, but just the opposite. " And I wish the Christians would do this. Yes the bible tells us to dust off our feet. But how quickly should we do that and what is the formula for dusting off out feet and moving on? Many will say" well they don't believe just like we do in our church system." LOVE should be upfront in all churches, but it is not. Sorry , speaking truth. Peace [/quote]
