Living in Truth.

OH Rajk, do as you feel and we will do as we feel. But no where once have we ever said one will burn in hell if they don't go door to door. That's a really lame statement.
But the bible is clear on what Jesus said to do. So again go ahead and do your thing, but you have no right to condemn us for doing exactly what Jesus said to do. If we are wrong at least we've made ...[text shortened]... said to those standing by, ‘Take the miʹna from him and give it to the one who has the ten miʹnas.’i

Nothing in there about going door to door. And it is the JWs that do the condeming. I have said that you can go door to door all you like. You are saying that if people do not go door to door then they are not following Christ. You are using your false interpretation of the bible to condemn others.

I agree in principle with what you are saying. Grace is not a license for sin. Everybody knows that except for a few reprobates.

BUT, justification is an act of God, and is in no wise contributed to by any work of the flesh.

Consider Ephesians 2:1-6
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the cour ...[text shortened]... n of righteousness is done by God Himself on our behalf by grace alone, and not by any human effort.

This what you wrote is not in the bible

All the work of salvation, which includes justification, sanctification and the imputation of righteousness is done by God Himself on our behalf by grace alone, and not by any human effort..

That is pure church doctrine.

This one sentence here from Paul contradicts that

(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. (Romans 2:13 KJV).

Your one sided view of justification and salvation is also contradicted by all the times in Paul writings to all the born again Christian saints, that they MUST live righteously otherwise they will not enter the Kingdom of God. Your church doctrine ignores that warning from Paul. Instead you claim eternal justification. Clearly there is something that followers and Christians need to DO.

So you do not know what those scriptures are speaking of?

Of course I know. I also know it has nothing to do with going door to door.

I truly thank you for this kind message. I really mean that. Mom of course was the hard one on me and the 4 years of Alzheimer's before she died was unbearable. That is what got to dad and it's what led to my sister disappearing. I was so upset with her for doing that and taking my nephews away from all of us and still have my moments of not wanting to ever see her again, but.....moms issues were hard on us all and I guess she snapped or something. Maybe someday she will come back to us. But I did find where she is so at least I know that she and her family are OK.
Anyway thanks again and I'm really trying to not let that direct my answers in haste or to just give up here and leave. I really do love talking about Jehovah, his son Jesus and his word the Bible. I believe very much in the future the bible promises and that one day I will see my mother again with her resurrection.
That's all I want to do here is speak about the good things Jehovah has promised all of us in the future once Satan is gone and when all the sickness and death are gone from all humans. And he really doesn't ask that much of us either for us to see that time in the future....
And you lean on God as much as you can with your trials. He will be there for you. Hang on!!!!!

Yes I am. It's nothing organized or anything like that but it happens. We get a reminder almost yearly to watch out for ones doing that.
The elders will now call the so called congregation they say they were attending and where they say they are from, and the elders there will of course either say yes it's OK or we don't know them. If it doesn't add up with what the ones who say they are Witnesses then we know what their up too and know they are not Witnesses.
If it were just ones who are not Witnesses and are just in need, of course the congregation will help in anyway. But when it is discovered that they have suspicious motives, they are asked to leave or if need be the police are called.

Again I'm so sorry. When it rains it pours as they say.
