I have heard "judging" tossed around a lot the last few days. In what way do you feel judged?
 
(Tim, this is mainly aimed at you, since you have been vocal about saying you were judged for your beliefs.)

AverageJoe So its ok for some one to call my beliefs a cult or for them to say I am wrong. Because I want to follow some thing that I believe. If I tried to reason with them I am condemned before I start. Thanks again and I tried to answer in a correct tone and don't want you to find harm. Would it not be like cause I am a Bears fan I am wrong.

Nope being a Bears fan just means you are a little less patient then a Cubs fan. Emoticon

We're not judging you, we're trying to open your eyes. You're in the right game, but on the wrong team. If Christianity was football,m the JW's would be the New England Patriots; cheaters, liars and manipulators, self obsessed with fulfilling their own purposes.

Yes. That is not judging the man, but saying the beliefs are wrong, just as you do to everyone who is not a JW.

You've tried to reason with them, they have tried to reason with you. same/same.

your tone went off the wall when people didn't agree with you... yet you don't agree with them.
 
Not sure what you are saying in the last line about being a Bears fan. I like the Bears (even though y'all kicked the snot out of the Pats in the Superbowl in '85. Refrigerator Perry... original Beast!
 
There are a lot of people here who think you are a very nice person. They just think you are lost, just as you think others are lost because they are not JWs.
 
May I suggest you keep an open mind to what others are saying, and research what they claim... not just by going to the Watchtower, but really researching, and if it proves to be wrong, fine. You'd have kept an open mind, researched with an open mind, and determined it didn't hold up.
 
Peace.

AverageJoe not being rude or hateful please understand. If two men that Worshiped God one smoke and there other did not. The one that smoked told the one that did not smoke. Even that I smoke I am closer to God than the one that did not smoke who would be wrong. I am trying to become a better person and move on. This was posted to me and this is how I see it. Again this was a question that I look at as personal no other opinions just mine. AverageJoe I do not like to be mean and would like to move on in life but some like to linger on one thing. Again Sorry for the negative thoughts. May Jehovah bless all that seek him.

never heard anyone tell a smoker they are closer to God than the smoker.
 
How about just trying to be the better person you are trying to be and not worry about whether your neighbor is closer? There are always going to be someone telling you that your beliefs are wrong. You do it to others too. Big whoop. But you can't gripe about others telling you that you are wrong when you are doing the same.

AverageJoe Sorry Jehovah brought me here and made me a better person. Yes I know that people do not like the Witness working on 9 years of hearing it. Now cause of it I can share in what people nasty people have to say. AverageJoe ok with that did you tell the others the same or just me. Might of told a few there wrong Never said the Church is wacked or a cult. They just run there mouths about what they don't know I know you said don't ***** unless the walked my shoes have they no. I TRYING TO BE NICE. But you keep getting stabbed and see what you do. Working on Godly quality's. Old habits are hard to break when your struggling all ready. right. I will leave alone Not a single thanks and I have poured out my heart. Praise Jehovah for he is good. And may help me in my short comings.

HipKat Since The Pats won does that mean that Jehovah prevails also. Just a thought.

sorry, tnt, but you and the Mrs. have shown me you can't have a reasonable conversation, so I'm done.
 
note: I don't think Jehovah or any other mighty power gives a rats *** about the Superbowl.
