A Question For Active, Current Jehovah's Witnesses Who Still Believe In The Bible And Are Still Searching For Answers...(Matt. 7:7, 8)
by Observer1217 ina question for active, current jehovah's witnesses (visiting this discussion board) who still believe in the bible and are still searching for answers...(matt.
we remember the watchtower society has long taught there are no inspired persons on earth today, nor living in our modern times.
which explains their viewpoint concerning the governing body leadership today, saying they need not be inspired to correctly lead the congregation of god's people today.

"Does your political party agree with religions being tax-exempt?"
by stuckinarut2 inin australia, we have a federal election this weekend for a new prime minister and parliament.. i took the opportunity yesterday to do some "anti-witnessing" when at the polling station.. as i was walking in, i had representatives from all the parties all vying for my vote and thrusting their promotional "how to vote" papers into my hands.. so while i had 5 of them all around me, i politely asked if i could ask their party's view on a very important topic: "what is your party's view on whether religions should be tax-exempt?

"while i am sure they may be very nice people, the group they represent teaches things that appear to me to be in direct conflict with the values and ethics of our local community and council.".
"their initial message seems pleasant, but i know for example, they are a very misogynistic and homophobic group.
