@galveston75 saidYes, really. Where is "go door to door" in "black and white written right in front" of my face in Acts 1:8?
Really? In black and white written right in front of your face but yet you cannot see..............
@galveston75 saidGood retort. I look forward to his reply
Why not pray to them and ask yourself for clarification?
Perhaps it will include some more words he looked up in the dictionary which you have never heard of but like the meaning of 😉
@divegeester saidOh boy...I really hope so!!!!!

@galveston75 saidI’m pleased you are excited about SecondSon’s forthcoming reply.
Oh boy...I really hope so!!!!!
My dictionary is at the ready.
@galveston75 saidLets take your first reference
Matthew 28:19, 20
19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
Matthew 10:11-13
11 “Into whatever city or vil ...[text shortened]... g you any of the things that were profitable nor from teaching you publicly and from house to house.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
(Matthew 28:19-20 KJV)
First Jesus here was addressing the 11 disciples not a multitude of thousands. Jesus never told the thousands to go door to door. Going door to door is optional and not a commandment of Christ. You want to go door to door, then go ahead. You do not want to do it then dont. It is not a requirement or commandment. There is virtue in going door to door if you can manage to do it but the JWs force the members to do it and it is a requirement of their membership
Next if you going with what Jesus said then this is the purpose of going door to door
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
Youall do not preach the commandments of Christ. You preach your own JW doctrine almost none of which was taught by Christ.
@galveston75 saidWhy pray for clarification about something I already know clearly?
Why not pray to them and ask yourself for clarification?
I would advise you to investigate the legitimacy of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
You've been flamboozeled.
@divegeester saidI know its meaning because I have been both flamboozeled and a flamboozeler.
This is actually a good one! 😁
Like everyone else except Jesus. Jesus is real.
