you don't agree that corruption and "depravity" does not necessarily have to extend to the "will" all the time per se.
Its not I that does not agree with you it is scripture.

Birthday celebrations and customs - Are they for Christians?
by AlmostAtheist ini sent my birthday document (http://thebentinel.com/jw-birthdays.html) to a poster here that is at the very least a jw-sympathizer, if not a full-blown jw.
the response i got back indicated that my reasoning on it was seriously flawed and essentially any idiot with a passing knowledge of scripture and history can tell that birthdays are not something christians should celebrate.. of course, if you're not a bible-believer or a god-believer, you couldn't care less about pagan origins and all that.
but let's keep this conversation on the 'appropriate for christians' vein.

the Watchtower aint infallible, but bases its contents on God's Word.
But Gods word is infallible. I can find any fallible org.
people are not forced against their will be some eternal divine decree to believe and repent.
What does it mean to be a vessel of wrath, made fit for destruction?

SS: Christ said "the spirit, indeed, is willing (referring to man's will and spirit and desire), but the FLESH (the sinful human nature) is weak." weak for righteousness, but strong for sin.
I thought all were under sin and none are good, no not one. Is not the carnel mind of man at emnity with God and is not subjected to the laws God.man's will can be different than his nature.
Huh?

SS, I was reading some of your previous posts', the following caught my eye:
SS: although JWs are not Calvinists (thank God) there is some truth to what Calvin said about "total depravity" of the will and nature of man.
What do you feel is the "some truth" of what Calvin asserts, re: total depravity?
BTW if you ask one of the jw r/f who Calvin is, or what does Arminian mean, the average Jw will not know what your talking about. So I find it interesting you would have thoughts regarding John Calvin and so forth.
SS: and biased protestant hypocritical website, with no documented anything, but mere conjectures and reckless quotes.
Im offended you ingnored my post.

by AndersonsInfo in(baylor university, waco, tx) an essay entitled, "jehovah's witnesses, blood transfusions, and the tort of misrepresentation," found in the autumn issue of baylor universitys prestigious journal of church and state, published december 13, 2005, exposes the vulnerability of jehovahs witnesses religious organization to massive claims for compensation because of the religions misrepresentation of the medical risks of blood transfusions.
this milestone essay critically examines one of the religions main publications for teaching their children and new recruits about their blood beliefs, how can blood save your life?
the peer-reviewed essay details many misrepresentations of medical facts, which the religion partly relies on to support its blood prohibition, thus denying its members from making fully informed medical decisions.

Who is responsible for food at the proper time? Could it be the FDS mis-interpeted Jehovahs word yet again. The blood problem poses another chink in the FDS credablity. Is Jehovah responible for the murders of thousands of mis-informed r/f? Or the slave?
