Polemotheos,
I have indeed submitted an essay to this site. if you care to check carefully you will find it there I'm sure.
The one essay on meeting at a local congregation. By the way what do you think of forming your own congregation from your own ministry in your own life. It's working for me.
I'm most certainly not a Watchtower drone and I don't have an agenda to lead people back to the JW organisation (but if they do that I wouldn't dare criticise them for it). Isn't it apparent from my posts on this thread that all I am trying to argue is that all Christians have a scriptural obligation to try and associate together with other Christians, in a physical setting, and not just by the internet. Isn't it apparent from my posts that I am not saying it has to be with JW's, but with any religious group that holds to the 1st century primitive doctrine that those congregations back then believed.
It is true.
In fact I freely admit I am a hypocrite in this regard because I have not been associated with any congregation in any religion for about 18 months. I am still trying to work up the courage to do so because I believe I should do that for scriptural and common sense reasons.
As we teach others we teach ourselves.
I'm offended brother that you can say you like me in one breath and need me on this forum yet have no compunction about calling me a coward and a hypocrite in the next. I think that is very rude and unhristian.
I have come from a corporate religion that wanted to squash freedom of expresion. I find that a cowardly activity. Many hypocritical manifestations are produced.
I apologise for suggesting that this forum is losing credibility because it is becoming increasingly dominated by someone who I feel uses extreme eisegesis to consistently push some very peculiar, private interpretations. I think the JWreform goal is a very honourable one and agree with everything they stipulate as their goals. I just think we need to keep our feet on the ground here. I feel that those who wish to push bizarre teachings and a uniquely personal interpretation should do so on their own websites.
Maybe you didn't notice but there are many forums on this website, JWreform is only one of many. We are currently in the open forum. Do you really think Don wants us to form another closed society where people cannot investigate there interpretations through the help of other brothers and sisters? If you do not like this form of fellowship your welcome to keep your comments in the JWreform forum. Infact you can start a thread expressing your need to start a whole new superior class of people that only allows the elite class to talk about bible interpretation and then those, the many that are not. See how well that flys.
