How many people have you lead to the new birth lately?

Actually, GOD does the converting, not us.
However, I am willing to bet I have been involved in more conversions than you, since I have left academia to minister full time.
But which "christ" do JWs preach? Don't they preach the angel-man-semi-god who isn't Jehovah God?
The apostle Paul clearly commented about someone coming and preaching a different Jesus:
But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached... (2 Cor. 11:3-4)
See last sentence of #176 for a clue.
I AM NOT A JEHOVAH WITNESS.
I DON’T KNOW ANY JEHOVAH WITNESSES.
I HAVE NEVER SLEPT WITH A JEHOVAH WITNESS.
If you want to go after and witness to, and convert them, fine, have at it. Get out there in the field and compete.
I’m just trying to raise my family, live on the little portion of wealth the government lets me keep, and take care of the few people that I live and work with. Go get’em boys. But if you are really concerned about wrong doctrine, my gosh, no Christian denomination could have more wrong doctrine that the Roman Catholic Church. Hint: syncretism.
Interesting, you take one of the key attacking points of JW - the greek ‘stauro’ and the snide little comment about the Trinity - so while you make the above claim, your arguements point to something very similar.
Interesting you and others would spend your time attacking another Christian group, while muslims are killing our soldiers and trying to destory our country, Jews in Hollywood attack Christianity, capitalism, and ‘Americanism’, Romanists help illegal aliens infiltrate our southern borders-fondling them along the way, Buddhaist worship elephant faced beings in our country openly, but those damned JW they must be dispatched. Good job.
I’m a biblical Unitarian, not the traditional New England Unitarian that are weirder than JW’s. I believe there is one God. He begat, Jesus Christ, who lived a sinless life and died for all who believe in him, whom God raised from the dead to sit at His right hand. He, Jesus, will return and gather together his people, O.T and N.T. and will live with him upon this earth eternally, once evil and its progenitor has been vanquished. Call me what you will (macht nichts). You, as most Christians, are following the false teaching of a hyper-egotistical Eqyptian monk, Arian.
He won the battle of defining Christianity, not through Scriptures and logic but by deceit, violence, and deaths. “Our Heavenly Father Has No Equals” author, Donald Snedeker is a well researched work. Don’t be afraid.
If ye be risen with with Christ, seek those which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. Col. 3:1
By definition of Biblical Christianity - they are not Christian, and they 'attack' us quite regularly.
while muslims are killing our soldiers and trying to destory our country, Jews in Hollywood attack Christianity, capitalism, and ‘Americanism’, Romanists help illegal aliens infiltrate our southern borders-fondling them along the way, Buddhaist worship elephant faced beings in our country openly, but those damned JW they must be dispatched. Good job.
Those 'issues' are being covered in other forums here - go play there, although I repudiate your antisemitic diatribes.
You, as most Christians, are following the false teaching of a hyper-egotistical Eqyptian monk, Arian.
Have you ever looked at what this 'monk' taught in respection to Christianity? LOL, what this 'monk' taught is closer to unitarism than Christianity. Please don't insult our intelligence here. And so what is this 'Jesus' of yours - a demigod?
He won the battle of defining Christianity, not through Scriptures and logic but by deceit, violence, and deaths.
Are you still talking about Arian?
“Our Heavenly Father Has No Equals” author, Donald Snedeker is a well researched work.
His work - from what I've read of it - consists of making strawman arguements of HIS definitions of the Trinity, then engages in scripture twisting on top of the deceptive presentation of Trinitarian doctrine to knock those straw men down.
I repudiate your repudiation, whatever. It is now antisemitic, according to you to state a fact about most Hollywood Jews. You are laughable. Can you say with a straight face say that Hollywood in the aggregate is not anti-Christ and anti-capitalist and anti-American? Please go away and let the adults talk now.
Hollywood “Jews” is derogatory selective identification of a specific race of people - there are plenty of others in hollywood who have degraded it into a cesspool. So when you become an adult, then you can come and talk.
Shoe fits?

Pssst, a tribe maybe, not a race.
Thank you. We’re all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
wow, the entire history of films condensed into a short list, you probably have another list of all the jewish bankers who caused the economic down turn too. And another for childhood obesity.
Why do you speak in the plural of majesty?
Where is you list of Baptists directors/producer?
No response on the faulty use of race, when you meant
tribe?
Joke: What do Rahm Emauel, George Soros, and David
Alexrod have in common, besides their circumcision?
1.)They all take turn holding the strings to Obama.
or
2.)They all hate the country of Israel as much as Obama
does.
Which one (1.) or (2.) has the best ring to it?
I am not the only one amused by your embarrasment here
Race is correct - not tribe.
Don’t need to list the others - many are atheists (as are the ‘joose’ you listed). I don’t get wrapped around racial issues - except when there is antisemitism involved.
What does 0bama have in common with them? Or his sidekick vp.
So, the mean JW’s must be shut up and vanquished because they believe in the literal translation of the Greek word ‘stauros’ in the N.T.
But let’s give the atheistic, Christ hating, vulgar, secular majority of the Hollywood crowd a pass, and if you do point out their influence on our culture, that would be called antisemitic. Some people pull out the ‘anti-s’ word like some people of tone pull out the n-word, like a get-out-of-jail-free-card.
Funny, some scientists say that there is no such thing as race. They say it is a 19th Century construct by bigoted white men. Some say it is just clines. Which is it?
If the Juice are a race, are the Cherokee a specific race? Are the Hutu a specific race or just a tribe?
The ripping of veil in the Temple was real and very symbolic. During our age, the Church Age, their is neither Jew nor Greek (gentile). Gal. 3:28. Today their are only believers and unbelievers.
As I understand, when the Book of Revelation starts, the Jews become the focus again. Today, the Jews are just like me and you. No more and no less. I’m not ‘anti-s’ it’s just when I see evil I point it out, irregardless of who is at the end of the finger. Hollywood, in my opinion, has had as much effect or more on our culture as any text books ever printed. Most it is negative. Who started putting rating movies and who fought it?
Little Lizard don’t you have any real JW’s to hassel now?
Thank you for this. You reminded me of a boy with whom I went to school. He was JW and had to sit out various activities. It made him an outcast.
They can 'speak' all they want (and they do) about their flawed interpretation of 'stauros' - a point already made very clear earlier - and a flawed attempt to continue the misconception. We can speak all we want to about that flawed translation.
. . . and if you do point out their influence on our culture, that would be called antisemitic.
By laying it all at the feet of a few Jews (by race, not necessarly religious belief) involved in the industry is racist.
No more and no less. I’m not ‘anti-s’ it’s just when I see evil I point it out, irregardless of who is at the end of the finger. Hollywood, in my opinion, has had as much effect or more on our culture as any text books ever printed. Most it is negative.
And contrary to your anti-semitic rant - the Jews in Hollywood are not totally responsible for it. Since you singled them out and ignored all the other influences eh.
Little Lizard don’t you have any real JW’s to hassel now?
When they do, I will. Until then I have to put up with unintelligent rants by a similar species of arians.
