Hi All,
The witnesses have changed, so how could they think that other places of worship have not changed....Most of the churches now, are basically motivational. They come to person right where they are at in their life. Yes, there are still some that preach fire & brimstone, but they are fading fast. The new generation is very different. Being a christian is not easy. To bring folks in is even more difficult....many people feel God is angry with them because of their past, or they feel unworthy to approach God/Jesus. What I find being at the hall, all you hear is preach & teach...if you come from another church, you can't even sit there & be comforted...always, something to do....for some their burdens of life are so heavy, they are good to get up out of their bed...to make it to a place of worship....Witnesses always say, never forsake the gathering with others....they think if you sit & attend meetings, eventually you will be a christian..but I heard a preacher say, you can sit in a garage day after day & you'll never be a car...being a christian comes in all forms & fashions, just not going out to preach, what about helping someone that is not your sister or brother...
I'm happy some go to churches.....just to see that the witnesses don't know what they are talking about....many say that their preacher/pastor say don't talk to those witnesses...I have never heard that from any pulpit....they don't believe in insulting their worshippers, because someone in their may know a witness. But not so with the Kingdom hall, they have no problem talking about other religions...that can be offending. Who knows maybe one day someone may say to friend or an elder, at the end of the meeting.....Nice meeting but you shouldn't talk about other religions...
