Well I wont go into huge detail, but I had a friend of mine that was 16 years older than me, really close friend and actually i considered him a brother. I went to meetings and book studies with him for many many years and he wanted me to become a JW. My family being Christian was mad that i was attending meetings and learning their doctrine. I got researching the JW's for myself and found they are not Gods mouthpeice.
So to make a long story short, I brought all my questions to my friend, such as Jesus's resurection, false prophecies, and Jesus being worshipped. Well I had him stumped on many questions and he got very very very mad at me asking where i got my info and i just said from past WT publications and the bible. Since then he has not called me back, invited me to his house for movies etc etc. I wrote him an email asking why he has all of a sudden stopped calling and got a reply saying:
"It just seems you are always looking for fault in things, and you will always find it Matt, David wrote in Psalm 130:3 If errors were what you watch, O Jah, Jehovah, who could stand? People even found fault with Jesus who was perfect. And as I said before Satan found fault with Jehovah and his heavenly organization."
Then he went on:
"If you think you have found the right path in life I am happy for you, but for me, finding a few scriptures that imply Jesus is part of a Trinity doesn't cut it with the thousands that say otherwise."
Funny thing is, I never once brought up the trinity, its almost like he brought that up to escape all the other things I said. I dont talk about the trinity because thats not what im concerned about.
So, according to these questions, his email basically said we are on different paths in life, and this all is being done cause of some questions i asked! I just dont understand why someone cannot see this as wrong? Im going to be emailing him back, anyone have any comments on what maybe I should throw into the email? Thanks
Matt
