And what do you think of them? ... Quoting: Faithful and Truth it seems they would get more done as far as witnessing and spreading the word on the internet. I grew up a JW. and I always thought to myself,that they are wasting time driving around to empty houses all day long witnessing to the dogs at home. Most people don't even answer the door. Gas is expensive these days. They make little old ladies in their 70's and up feel quilty they don't get many hours out in service to report. My mother thinks these workls will get her into paradise,and it has heaped a huge burden on her. She has to make the meetings,or they show up at her home and tell her she is missing too many meetings,and will lose out on life. From what I see they do witness on the internet like OP and DGN. They also do letter writing and calling people on telephones. Let's see, they also do what they call informal witnessing where they speak to people when they are out and about. There is also street witnessing in cities. Going door to door is only a part of their preaching work. that they have to count each month. If you get a few hours,I have heard talks that called that token service. You, my friend, seem quite out of touch with the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. The amount of time turned in each month by individual Jehovah's Witness serves the purpose of compiling a world wide report of the total amount of hours spent preaching by Jehovah's Witnesses in over 234 lands through out the earth. This is done monthly and yearly. It serves as an encouragement to all Jehovah's Witnesses to know our brothers and sisters are united with us in the fulfillment of Matthew 24:14: "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth,, as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come"-Matthew 24:14 Jehovah God doesn't set a limit or a minimum of time that each one should preach. Circumstances and situations vary widely among the 6,000,000 Jehovah's Witnesses earth wide. All Jehovah asks is that we give our whole souled best. We are not in competition with one another, and if someone is, then they need to examine their motive for preaching. It may be true that some lack the zeal they once had and give only "token service"- that is not for any individual to judge. We ourselves are the only one who can make that assessment. Here's a math question for you. How many HOURS did it take to make ONE convert? |

Member's give an oath to an earthly organization in the form of two baptismal questions,so that the person will now give up all his rights to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society,INC. organization stealing the GODHEAD that belongs to Christ's Incoming Kingdom. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25567776 The first question is: On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will? The second is: Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism."

At the point that you teach that people MUST become part of your "church" in order to attain admittance into paradise, you quit being a partaker and become a usurper. THAT, is the spirit of antichrist. HE needs no denominational tag, and neither do we. |

As for the second part, I never understood going "from house to house" when Jesus said not to. "These, therefore, went their way from before the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy to be dishonored in behalf of his name. 42 And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus."
