I'm responding to your post against my better judgement... I normally just ignore trollers, but in your case, I'm willing to make a
brief exception.
First of all, my suspicions have the potential of being very valid and true. Also, did you forget that I allowed room for the possibility that I was wrong in my post? I never stated that my post was an absolute fact. It's a theory that I presently have a lot of faith in. But nothing more... And, I apologize if I ever gave you the impression that I was presenting it as an indiputible "fact."
I also doubt the sincerity of your past statements about JW's being "the most honest, moral, straightforward people that ever walked the planet," that "they would never be deceitful," and that you hope to be like Moddy 14 someday... *Chuckles*
To me, they were the most ridiculous statements I ever saw in all my time on H2O.
Ever stop and think about the disgrace and shame that you're bringing upon "the truth�," and upon your fellow "brothers" and "sisters"? Do you ever consider the "witness" you're giving by behaving like a pretentious, stuck-up snot?
"Maintain YOUR conduct fine among the
nations, that, in the thing in which they are speaking against YOU as evildoers,
they may as a result of YOUR fine works of which they are eyewitnesses glorify God in the day of [his] inspection." - 1 Peter 2:12
When have you shown "fine conduct," Bear? I have yet to see it...
"Furthermore, many will follow their acts of loose conduct, and on account of these the way of the truth will be spoken of
abusively." - 2
Peter 2:2 (emphasis mine)
Kind of sobering, isn't it? By your "loose conduct," you're bringing shame and reproach upon the very organization you're trying to vindicate!
"In no way are we giving any cause for stumbling, that our ministry might not be found fault with..." - 2 Corinthians 6:3
Can you honestly say that you're giving no "cause for stumbling"?
Maybe you should heed the admonition of the apostle Peter...
"But sanctify the Christ as Lord in your hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a
reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a and ." - 1 Peter 3:15 (emphasis mine)
Put up or shut up, you charlatan.
