'Now please answer why two commands from the same Bible are interpreted two ways? One is for the "little flock" and it is good to obey, the other one is for everyone and very difficult to obey. Why is it understood that way?'
Since you insist that I'm avoiding your questions...what are you specificially referring to?
'30! That's lame. It was 1000 per year when I pioneered or 60 per month for auxilliary. You guys have no commitment these days.'
I was a regular pioneer for 5 years starting in the 12th grade, while working a part-time job, and going to school. I KNOW about commitment.
'ow can you not see they way you follow the govening body .. is your cult leader... and you live in isolation ... anyone who is not a witmess is bad association... how many friends do you have outside the kingdom hall...
wake up man you are worshiping a magazine... for God sake ... why do the require you to read every publication ..'
That's BIBLICAL my friend. The apostle Paul told the Corinthian congregation those INSIDE the congregation, who were anointed Christians that were not serving Jehovah whole-souled, were considered bad association. If that applied to Christians within the organization back then, do you really think it shouldn't apply to people of the world? There is no doubting the influence your friends can have on you. You cannot develop a hatred for what is bad and surround yourself by those who have a nonchalant attitude about doing those things. We are not going to be condemned/shunned IF we do choose to associate with worldly people, however. Which testifies to the fact that we ARE NOT A CULT. I can choose to hang out with WHOEVER I want, where I want, when I want, and how long I want. Do some research on cults and see if they're allowed to do that?
