Andy:
Do you really expect anyone here to believe YOUR example, perhaps sitting at home, gazing at a computer, or perhaps snapping at every Jehovah's Witness that goes by your house doing "field service" IN ANY WAY RESEMBLES JESUS' EXAMPLE?
That's what ex-Jehovah's Witnesses get to do...did you know that?
And that's all you are going to get to do...believe me.
Rick and the Reformers already know that. That's why, they are making their move NOW, while INSIDE THE ORGANIZATION.
Do you see the difference?
Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses accomplish nothing,as far as affecting the organization. Nothing.
You guys like Jesus...You must be joking. You guys are nothing like Jesus. Nothing. You are instead, "ESCAPE ARTISTS." That's it.
Jesus was ACTIVE among God's People. That's active...You are out of the organization...that's O-U-T-...Out. That's not like Jesus baby, in any way, shape, fashion or form. Sorry.
In actuality, Rick and other sincere, Reform-minded Jehovah's Witnesses actually set up H2O, from which we are now all present, and uncharacteristically "biting into one another," as the Bible warns against. (Gal. 5:15) So, I'm going to disist real soon here, because of that scripture. But remember, "reformers" have teeth too.
UNDENIABLE FACT: Nevertheless, because of the "REFORMERS", 1,000s, yes tens of 1,000s of Jehovah's Witnesses have benefited greatly, tremendously from the efforts of H2O, AJWR (earlier group) and other reform movements among ACTIVE Jehovah's Witnesses. These forums were originally sponsored by ACTIVE Jehovah's Witnesses and not ex-Jehovah's Witnesses.
My opinion: Jesus' example is better typified in the works of the reformers, than the NON-reformers, such as yourself...any day of the week.
BTW, who did you denounce when you were at the Kingdom hall...The governing body...the local elders...maybe you cursed them under your breath when you were walking out the door for the last time. :-)
Now that's the way Jesus would handle, right?
Did you denounce anybody while you were active in the organization, in the meetings out in the open, just like Jesus? Did you do this?
NO, you didn't.
So then, you are nothing like Jesus.
You just quietly left like all the rest. So, your leaving didn't help or benefit a SINGLE SOUL, did it?
I thought so.
Nothing like Jesus, my friend.
