Subject: If Jesus did it, way can't I? |
Bible Note: Hi Radioman2, Your questions are fair. My objection is merely accuracy. Many churches teach thier their flock that the JW's don't believe in Jesus! You know that that is wrong. What they mean to say is JW's don't believe that Jesus is Almighty God. I too have observed that the "filtered" information from their literature paints an accurate picture of what they present. I understand the complexity of the developement of the Trinity doctrine and why you might have "faith" in its truthfullness. That is why I am here, to present the oppossing understanding. It is not simply, well, JW's have changed the "Bible", they are a "cult", they oppose all that we stand for! That again is simply not true. Of course, though if the shoe fits, then we must humbly wear it. Reasoning from the scriptures, not "twisting" to make a doctrine fit, will lead one to accurate understanding. Many of my JW associates were once Baptists (my mother), Church of Christ (my Grandparents) my wife (Methodist) and I attended their services. Also, if I want to really know what a particular "stand" of a religious group is, I ask a knowlegable member of their group, instead of some web site that opposses that group. Is that not fair? I believe it is. As a result, why would we want to attend a church gathering that teaches what we have left, what we have found to be wrong? So, in answer to your question, yes it is discouraged to attend other religious services. Truthfinder |
