This confuses me greatly. I apologise if I am out of line or have stepped on any toes.
You are not out of line in the least and the reaction of "a friend in need" should confuse any honest-hearted person who seeks truth from the Bible free from the interpretation of men. You may have stepped on "a friend's" toes, but you haven't stepped on mine. Welcome from the shadows, step out into the light. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.
I'm sorry, I again apolgise.
Rescueme said; greatly. I apologise if I am out of line or have stepped on any toes.
LOL, kls I think including the "greatly" confused rescueme
Respectfully ... OldSoul ... If it is no concern of mine ... why did you mention it ... even went back and corrected it.
As you know, I was equating using scriptures here as throwing pearls before swine.
That should also answer RescueMe.
Oldsoul,damn i think it did . Leave it to me to screw things up
kls, I sent a welcoming PM.
This exchange is interesting, Old Soul. Interesting in that it illustrates how a JW will dance and sidestep every which way to avoid getting into a discussion where she might be forced to admit to having no answers. I've seen this time and again, both online and in person.
You correctly point out that no one in the JW organization has the answers to your questions -- not "a friend in need", not any elders, and most importantly, not the Society. They all know this, and so to avoid the mental breakdown that would occur if they admitted that such an important doctrine has no real scriptural basis, they refuse to answer. It's an Orwellian-style defense mechanism.

Thanks Oldsoul : (
As you know, I was equating using scriptures here as throwing pearls before swine.
So you have labeled me and judged me more harshly than my congregation did. You label me a filthy, disgusting animal that was disgusting in Jehovah's eyes at the time Jesus drew that parallel. Is that what passes for genuine respect in your congregation these days?
As should be clear to you by now, I have no grievance with Scripture. Do you consider me swine? Any more so than the people at the door in the field ministry?
