I think the main purpose of the forumn based on the policies you can read, is that of giving Bible answers to Bible Questions. It does not matter if the person asking the question is a JW or a Mormon, or any other cult, if they ask a bible question like "What does this verse mean?" people will give answers. The fact that many can give answers who are not your typically "trained" theology graduate, is a wonderful thing. The answers by the "untrained" are often some of the best given becuase they approach it in a very logical way, looking at the context and using common sense, they are often not using "filters" taught to them to interpret a passage. Yes there are going to be some strange answers and answers that are wrong, but they come from both the "trained" and "untrained" However over time what you have is a huge database of answers and insight by a particular verse. That is if people will post the right verses when they ask or when they answer a question. I am glad this is not the "Kingdom of the Cults" Forum, there are plenty of debate forums for that, and I am sure the JW who is attempting to convert a christian is already aware of those forums. If they really want an answer they should word their post as an honest question and they will find there are many that will give them an answer. | ||||||

I suspect, Brother Scribe, that some regulars on this forum have learned whose answers they can trust. They may not be looking for theologians but for people who have demonstrated a knowledge of the Bible. I hope so. I have to believe that people look for these names to find answers, because each of these threads can be very long. It would take a long time to read through one and a longer time and something else to separate truth from error. I doubt that people read through a whole thread looking for answers or before providing their own. I do not doubt that some cult adherents come here with an intention to teach or to convert someone to their group or to their way of thinking. It is against the Forum's rules, I know. And yet, I hope that someone would be able to give a direct answer that might redirect the questioner. When Nicodemus came to Jesus, the Lord did not ask, “Are you a Pharisee? Yes or No”. He gave him the truth, and I would hope that we could do so here without getting into a debate with a cultist. I suggest that the one who is wise enough to recognize the cultist should also arm himself with an appropriate answer. |
