Bible Note: Hello jolo, Welcome to the Forum. In answer to your question, there is no "ban on them"- per say. However, if you are indeed a JW or hold to the teachings of the Watchtower Organization, you're most likely strongly opposed to either: 1.Lockman's Doctrinal Statement- We believe that the entire Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God; the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the only Begotten Son of God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. We believe in the sacrificial and vicarious death of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross and that He thereby made perfect substitutionary atonement for the sin of the world. We believe in His literal physical resurrection from the dead, We believe in the literal, bodily, physical, and Premillenial return of Jesus Christ. We believe that all men are sinners and in an eternally lost condition apart from the saving grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that acceptance into the family of God and eternal salvation can only be secured by believing in and by faith accepting and receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Sin–bearer, Lord and Savior. Or, 2. the Terms of Use stating: "Postings must be Biblically based and not opposing the Bible's sole authority (sola Scriptura), Christianity, or the deity of Jesus Christ. Whenever possible, postings should include supporting Bible references." So, I'd imagine one of these 2 points would ultimately become a stumbling block for you. Unless you can manage to avoid openly expressing opposition to such, I wouldn't foresee your being a long-term user! That's why John asks such pointed questions and why a long-time member such as myself encourage you to "look before you leap". It saves us all much wasted time and effort:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
