For the same reason I'm scared to death of a perpetual debate with trinitarians (not). Your questions would lead to no conclusions, and neither of us would change our minds based on debate. You would just come up with more questions until we went full circle and you would be asking the same questions again. We know that from experience, don't we???
I don't like to debate--it implies I'm hell-bent on changing your mind to agree with me. I already know your views. I've heard yours and others a hundred times or more. I'm not interested in going over it again and again and again, ad nauseum. I don't care what you believe as long as you have had an opportunity to make an informed decision. I respect your right to decide that for yourself. I don't need you to agree with me to validate my opnions. I wish you felt the same about people who have a different opinion from you. Let people have their different opinions. We left that kind of unity back in the Watchtower--at least I did.
I have to wonder whether people who have your compulsion to harp on this are as convinced as they say. But--like the trinitarians--wondering doesn't mean I'm concerned enough to pursue it.
