Is your church mostly white?

Never said that. Never claimed that.
You do it all the time.
You are laughing at yourself.

You are just another Christian sect floundering in a mass of false doctrines and fabrications.

All Jesus requires is for people to do good works and live righteously. Those who do that will enter the Kingdom of God. Those like you that proclaim your own superiority, fabricate rules about going door to door and , and place yourself in the 144,000 chosen and sealed elect of God, are the ones going down into the lake of fire.

So no repentance or belief in the gospel (faith) is required then? I’m afraid you’re wrong about that one.

Mark 1:15 records the inspired summary of Jesus' message as He began His ministry: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” ... That's because faith, as Scripture defines it, is trusting that Jesus is who He said He is and that He does what He said He would do.

Do you trust Jesus when he said who enters the Kingdom of God and who are the children of God?

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matthew 5:3-9 KJV)

I do. I trust Jesus when he said who gets eternal life in Matt 25. Apparently you dont. The problem is that your church preaches that one must focus on the passages which speak of empty / dead faith ie trusting in Christ do to everything and sitting back and doing nothing. It is a doctrine of complacency and laziness. You leave the eternal life to Christ and you sit there and profess faith all day long. Well that is the road to damnation. The goats in Matt 25 did just that and Jesus condemned them to hell. So go follow that doctrine.

Yep, I see so much racism in this video it must make you sick huh?

But for others that see this video this is one of many international assembly's throughout the world this summer. Where ever possibly many from other country's visit other countries assembly's to ...[text shortened]... you you will never see this from other religions which is sad as this is the way all should be.....

Are regular members encouraged to go to these assemblies and mix it up with those from other countries? Or is this, again, like communion, another perk only for the "elite" in your church?

@galveston75 said
Just my opinion but it seems you drop about 10 IQ points daily on normal IQ levels. Spiritually you have zipola points. "0".
You should take religious classes from Rajk because he is going to heaven because he knows more then any of us. He will deny it but seriously he is the go too guy for all your spiritual needs.

Yes, he sounds exactly like many of your "elite" church leaders: "Do as I say, not as I do." How Christ-like.

Did you look at the link with the videos of the recent Atlanta assembly? If not it will answer your question. It is for everyone even non JW's.

What perks are you referring too?

Hum? Are you aware of what the "church leaders" live on as far as money, homes, transportation?
You should do a little more research before you've got your foot stuck in your mouth.

I have never attended a church that preaches you have to sit back and do nothing. You are the only one saying that churches say that. You have a clear agenda.

Christ saved you and His work is complete.
You have eternal life already
All your sins are forgiven
Doing good works is trying to earn your salvation.
Telling people to follow the commandments of Christ is legalistic

To me it sounds like there is nothing more to be done.

Clearly you don't grasp the reality of salvation, the work of salvation is complete, but that was done by God for God, now the walk with God begins, obeying Him, honoring Him, doing the things that need done! It is the start of abiding in Christ which is something one who does not belong to Christ can do, or wants to.

I bet the goats had a good grasp of the reality of salvation like you.

Since when does abiding in the Spirit mean doing nothing ?

Since when are all Christians abiding in the Spirit?
