alBHAGDADI:I think the central point must not be missed by even the blind in dis forum. Wats the center point of building a church? In order for ppl to congregate. That is completely different from preaching or spreading the good news. Now if dat can be done, without the risk of burning down a church, why be the foolish one, den? Wat did Jesus say about the modality of preaching? Matthew 10:11 say "into wateva city u enter, search out deserving ones and stay (which is equivalent to build) there until u leave". Matthew 10:14 then says "wherever anyone does not receive u or listen to ur words, on going out of that house or city, shake the dust off ur feet". Jesus didn't say "stay there and manage the place". D Apostles whom u claim to know so much about, did dis in Pisidian Antioch. There is a difference between building a church (staying there after preaching and being accepted to establish a congregation) and preaching. If deserving ones happen to surface later on, wld u build a Kingdom Hall for just 5 ppl, wen u can conduct their bible study online? Dat a Kingdom Hall is not in these countries, doesn't mean preaching doesn't take place there. It does. However in snippets and in a very discreet way. |

DavidEsq:You claim there are no Kingdom halls in those places cos JW fear they will be burnt, but preaching takes place there. How can the JW style of house to house preaching take place in a country that doesn't want to hear the gospel and are eager to burn Churches and Christians? The questions i, how many JW kingdom halls have been burnt in those places? Why should the cost of building again bother you when you boast of being 8 million JW? Will the provision of the money be too hard for your 8 million members? Every place where the Apostles were killed today, you will find that those places still have Churches standing. If the other disciples were to reason like JW, Christianity won't have had a solid footing there. Paul was killed in Rome, today Christianity abounds there. Just admit that the only presence you have in hostile countries is an online presence. And do give credit to those who endure it all and are actually on ground despite persecution to ensure Christianity is established in hostile grounds. The 1 Like |

Don't make people see you as having a personal vendetta against witnesses. Argue your points calmly without getting unnecessarily angry over everything.

removetheturban: So you mean you have never come across Mathew 7:5 or that your organization believes as usual that it was not in the 'original' text? Matt. 7:5 is the most referenced verse to denounce hypocrisy in modern day Christianity if you don't know. Anyway, how could you have come across it when your organization bans you from doing your own personal study of the Bible and building an opinion independent of Awake or Watchtower contents so that you might not one day begin to challenge its traditional manipulative interpretations aimed at mind control? Jesus Christ Himself made it clear that those who lack conviction founded on a deep personal knowledge of the scriptures are like houses which foundations are built on sand hence susceptible to being easily washed away by whatever apostate doctrine first blows like wind or falls like rain on them. |

mitchyy: The bolded is rather a hypocritic utterance. The caustic contents of your magazines against other denominations have already left no one in doubt that JWs are actually the ones on a personal vendetta against other Christians. You accuse him of being awake for hours waiting for attacks? Since when has it become a crime or sin to sacrifice one's comfort in non violent defense of one's genuine convictions? Why focus on his zeal and tenacity rather than address his questions? Are you trying to shut him up in a subtle manner by advising him to go and sleep? Ironically you people cry "Persecution!" at the slightest perceived attempts of being shut up by the authorities, yet you are guilty of doing the same here using very subtle and seductive means. |
Re: Examining Talk That Jehovah's Witnesses Are The Only Ones Preaching Out There by Deadlytruth(m): 5:43am On Feb 12, 2018 |
mitchyy: That is an outward form of religion which has no bearing on actual righteousness. Some denominations also dress in particular ways which to them are the standards of being approved by God as against conduct and inner purity. The holding of Bibles and magazines in hands all over public places is an outward show of religiosity which Jesus condemns. True Christians are supposed to be identified ONLY by very very pleasing godly conducts and the actual manifestation of God's supernatural powers and not by mere showy but mundane activities like holding magazines at motor parks, bus stops and market squares. |

alBHAGDADI: Kudos to you once again. The guy even said that their online preaching can substitute for physical presence in those hostile lands. Then what were they substituting with donkey years before the invention of the internet? Who evangelizes the rural parts of those countries which are out of coverage? What of those living in the cities of those countries but too poor to afford data subscription constantly? There is no way online preaching can really completely substitute for physical presence. It is after the other denominations' current attempts to open up those countries through risky physical presence start yielding results that these fearful online preachers will storm the place and start telling the converts that it was a false religion they were made to accept.

Verses in Luke chapter 10 say: "Go! I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Don't take a purse or a beggar's bag or shoes..." This means the disciples should not directly or indirectly beg unbelievers for financial assistance towards growing their ministry. But we see those who call themselves the only God approved organization begging unbelievers for financial contributions to the growth of their ministry through buying of their magazines. Is salvation at a cost? Funnily enough this denomination notorious for building their halls from funds solicited from unbelievers condemn other Christians who build their churches strictly from funds raised from among their congregations alone. Who is fooling who? "....don't stop to greet anyone on the road.5 Whenever you go into a house, first say, ‘Peace be with this house.’ 6 If someone who is peace-loving lives there, let your greeting of peace remain on that person; if not, take back your greeting of peace. 7 Stay in that same house, eating and drinking whatever they offer you, for workers should be given their pay...." This means on arrival at the target town they should first locate a house where there is a believer or potential believer ready to lodge and accommodate them for the duration of the exercise. "Don't move around from one house to another." Here is the specific instruction given in unequivocal terms against house to house preaching. 8.Whenever you go into a town and are made welcome, eat what is set before you, 9 heal the sick in that town, and say to the people there, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near you.’ This obviously means to speak the message to residents of the town as a public announcement which the other Christian Churches do today in the form of open air crusades accompanied with healings. 10.But whenever you go into a town and are not welcomed, go out in the streets and say, 11 ‘Even the dust from your town that sticks to our feet we wipe off against you. But remember that the Kingdom of God has come near you! What we see above is town, town, town and not individual houses. So where did this people get this house to house doctrine from? |

switnpea: Pride, arrogance and carnal mindedness is when one refuses to heed scripture-based corrections but terms it jealousy. The Bible is against house to house preaching, so you can't claim you are doing the right thing by getting involved in it. You either accept that you are wrong or prove us wrong with superior evidence from the same Bible. Is the Bible no longer our ultimate guide? 1 Like |
