Would you characterize my view as being amongst the "most outlandish of assertions"?
Is it?

it was not meaningless to the recipient, or anyone else for that matter, its only
meaningless because you say it is, and your assertion that he was not talking of God
because he was talking of the so called God of the old testament is equally ludicrous.
Let it be known that you have FAILED to state anything of consequence with regard to
the ...[text shortened]... s a reference to God as the highest
standard of goodness in the absolute and consummate sense.
let it be known that despite your failure to understand, the reference to biblegod as the highest standard of goodness is demonstrably false. biblegod is bat-guano crazy and this insanity is a function of an awakening civilizations stumbling attempts to make sense of things.
it worked well enough back then, but in the modern sense, much of what biblegod commanded as his eternal unchanging word has been abandoned. your own jesus christ urged you to abandon most of it by the ludicrous claim that he "fulfilled" said laws, another one of his meaningless claims.
he didn't fulfill any laws. he introduced a new moral standard and a new god; the "father" god which replaced the jealous "husband" god of the old testament.
perhaps one day you will begin to understand the important distinction between the husband god and the father god. but you are not yet ready for that enlightenment and my words are a voice in the wilderness.

If I only got about 5% of Voidspirit , I'd still prefer that to 100% of you.

-Removed-Well, we are being given a pretty good overview of the main themes of JW theology. Just from the OP, we can discern that the Bible passage will be of concern to the JW, and if we bite, we will, with some digging, learn what the JW position will be. So we are being educated even if we resist. For those of us who finally see the light, it will be so easy! I can't say that any of the other branded faiths represented here are making such potentially effective use of this forum, although the resistance being thrown up suggests that it's not really working yet. But, as they say, one soul at a time, if and when.
Edi: I'm not really sure they say 'one soul at a time."

-Removed-I don't know. It would be interesting to know. My gut feeling is that all of the positions taken here (including any I take) are too weakly presented to change anyone's mind. It is like an attack by a weak staph infection, it only serves to strengthen the defenses, which is counterproductive to the stated positions. That has made me question from time to time whether organized conversion programs like the JW's, take lessons from these forays, to learn from and modify their approaches. It does not seem that they do. From what I have seen of their pamphlets on line, they are not oriented toward dealing with serious skeptics. But they are doing rather well in some parts of the world.
