HI Practicus,
>You are incorrect in assuming we cannot "defend" the Truth. Truth needs no defense.
Which 'truth' are we referring to? Past, present or future? That alone speaks volumes about your dogma, does it not?
>The beliefs of Jehovah's Witnesses have been explained many times by many people in many ways.
Usually by: deny the obvious, ad hominem attacks, skirt the issue, change the subject. Even your own version of 'Superman' proved to all here that the theology of the WTS is undefendable.
>Accept or reject them; it's your choice.
You know what that answer is, don't you bro?
>Frankly, what you want is a waste of time, and I agree with Big Ray that the best course of action is to simply block baiting from folks like you.
Ahhhh, but you miss the point. Big Ray is very vocal about how sure he is of his cult. He has the opportunity to pick up Stafford's fumble.
>I feel no obligation to force my beliefs on you, nor to attempt to persuade you beyond what you want to believe.
Since when? Have you quit preaching also?
It's not a question of 'what I want to believe', it's a question of interpretation of the Bible by scholarly means or amateur.
>But you should know that loyal Witnesses have faith in Jehovah and Jesus Christ, and serve along with the theocratic Organization because we want to and choose to do so. We have no need for your faithlessness or hubris. Nor does that dazzle us.
If you are so 'loyal' then why are you here posting right now? Why is our ex-jock online over at 'Witness Central'? Isn't the GB clear enough in it's directions to you fellows?
