Ok. you made me write a big reply and then delete it because i felt it was a waste of time, and would be totally lost on you, as is proved by the responses from you to other posts.
Well, maybe it's good that you didn't bother to post that "big reply."
You think your words were bitter to me? You self righteous little shit I wont be reading your dribble anymore... you are perhaps the most ignorant person i have come [across] so far on here.
Bitter, no. The truth is that I really didn't know what to make of your "Oh crap, i just cant put into words what your post did to me" statement. It was so open to interpretation, so I thought perhaps you wanted to help me see the light as you have managed to see the light (or some such nonsense like this). I also thought something I said might have triggered a memory in your mind that you didn't quite know hot to "put [your thoughts] into words." I thought it possible that you had become flabbergasted over the audacity of me to have said to @sabastious, @wasblind, @3Mozzies or @Steve2. (Then, again, maybe not anything I said to @sabastious, but to the other three posters whose posts came before yours.) What I said was if [something] I said in my post turned out to be somewhat bitter in your mouth....
Your "Oh crap, i just cant put into words what your post did to me" remark could have meant anything, but what I did say was meant to move the discussion along and I don't care that you are now indignant over what I actually did say. I cannot control what you might think after reading what things I write here, nor do I care what mental process you use to determine whether you like something said by someone or don't like something said by someone.
Now I know that you don't know me at all, so I cannot take your"angst" seriously, but since you apparently wanted to draw attention to yourself in this thread, at my expense, you've succeeded; you now have my attention as well as the attention of all of your friends here. Apparently you want to be a clown, so go ahead, attach the red nose and be that clown, and maybe I'll buy a ticket, but here's the point I would make but for your threatening to not read any more of my "dribble":
When Jehovah's Witnesses visit folks at their homes, they do so for the same reason that Jesus and his apostles visited people: Because people are walking in the unprofitableness of their minds, in spiritual darkness, some of them in spiritual bondage to false religion, and they have never really heard the good news about Jesus Christ. Jehovah's Witnesses truly believe that if given an opportunity to do so, that some of the people that we visit at their homes would, upon hearing the good news of God's kingdom, make the same choice that we made to conform their lives in such a way that they and those that listen to them (including their own families) might realize the same hope as we in harmony with God's will, and thus form the nucleus of the new earth under the millennial reign of God's kingdom with the prospect of living forever.
It is because of the Bible and our faith in God's promises contained in it that Jehovah's Witnesses are making our faith manifest to all, not just in our ministry, but in how we have chosen to live our lives. Jehovah's Witnesses know that there is absolutely nothing that we can personally do to earn everlasting life, but we have been persuaded that God will grant us with it as a reward for our faithfulness toward Him in our doing the work that His son has given us to do, sharing what things we have learned with others and warning folks as to what's on the horizon.
It does bother me that many of the people here (like @pr0ner) would make sport of jeering Jehovah's Witnesses that have done absolutely nothing to any of you, except to come to your door to share the very same message contained in the Bible, the same message that Jesus and his apostles taught, that many of you have already heard, but rejected, which, mind you, is certainly your right to do.
Telling these Witnesses that you've heard the Kingdom message and that it is a waste of their time sharing with you their message when you have no interest whatsoever in it would be the right thing to do, not to lead on any of these Witnesses as your "victims" so that you might sow the seeds of contempt that you feel about Jehovah's Witnesses generally, and the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses specifically, in your hatred for anything at all having to do with the WTS.
So because my God is Jehovah, and you have chosen to worship the god of this system of things, why the bitterness toward me when you don't know me and I've done nothing to you? Again, I didn't say I believed you thought my words were bitter to you, did I? What I said was "if [something] I said in my post turned out to be somewhat bitter in your mouth [that you should] come back and tell me exactly what my post did to you." Of course, I could be lying, but I suspect that you could very easily go back a few posts and review mine to see whether or not I'm lying to you.
THATS what your post did to me.
I don't care.
now go and post how Oz is a horrid nasty person who derides people and is sensitive or something.
Now, now. You're not a horrid nasty person, but it is true that in what you said to me in your post that you treated me contemptuously, but your jeering of me pales in comparison with what I anticipate will be a grueling test of my faith before Jesus puts down this rabid system of things. I'm ok with that.
bugger off.
In case you don't know, I'm in the States, in Los Angeles, California, so "bugger off" doesn't faze me. Now if what you wanted to do was insult me, such that I might want to come through this monitor and "pummel you" (which is as wimpy as saying "bugger off" to an American) or "kick you ass" (which is a less wimpy way to say the same thing), then the very next time you feel like being a show off (or a clown), please don't hesitate to tell me to "piss off" or to "fuck off." I won't really react negatively to your saying any of these things, but your friends here (like @pr0ner and @wasblind) will no doubt laugh and want to "fist bump" you, and even have your baby for deriding yet another Witness. (One thing though: @pr0ner thought it important to tell me today that he is mammary-less so you might want to keep that in mind.)

So in less than five minutes the householder learns from the Bible that Jehovah is the true God, that Jesus is God's only-begotten son, that God sent Jesus to give his life as a ransom and that the very fact that Isaiah recorded this prophecy concerning Jesus some 730 years before Jesus' birth is proof that God exists.

egggnogg, you and the rest of the JW blind ilk have confused opinion for fact here. The householder was told of your opinion, but it is not a proven fact. Jesus has been a no-show for almost 2000 years and every year that goes by, proves that the Jews were right all along- Jesus was not a Messiah.
So if Jesus existed, then you would agree that God exists, correct? I fear this may be a waste of time, but many people believe that Jesus was the Messiah, for the Bible tells us how people felt about the sayings of John the Baptist at John 10:41, 42: "'As many things as John said about this man [the Messiah, Jesus Christ] were all true.' And many put faith in him there." At John 5:46, Jesus said "that one [Moses] wrote about me," and he told Peter at John 21:22, "If it is my will for him [John] to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you?"
Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus, 1.1 million Jews perished in 70 AD, but Christians escaped when Jerusalem was first besieged by Roman armies in 66 AD, for when the siege was lifted, they obediently left Jerusalem as Jesus told them to do, four years before the Romans besieged Jerusalem a second time and destroyed it. (Luke 19:43, 44; 21:20-22) According to John 6:14, after seeing the many miracles that Jesus performed, people were saying about him, "This is for a certainty the prophet that was to come into the world," and at John 7:31, "When the Christ arrives, he will not perform more signs than this man has performed, will he?"
Really there is abundant evidence that Jesus was "the Messiah," or, as the Greek-speaking Jews would refer to him, "the Christ," but you probably won't believe any of it, and if you're not willing to believe what the Bible says, then you're right: It's just my opinion that Jesus was the Messiah, while as far as you are concerned, his existence is "not a proven fact."
@wasblind:
Christmas Cheer
Why should Jehovah's Witnesses run from anyone?
Because they might actually find the "TRUTH"
This is just to acknowledge having read your post. Otherwise, no comment.
