Jesus speaking:

Correcting Another Believer
15 “If another believer[a] sins against you,[b] go privately and point out the offense.

You acknowledged it in the following exchange. Are you claiming that you don't remember?
ToO:
Seems like for whatever reason, you are refusing to directly address my post.
So, I'll have to do it the hard way. Is it correct to infer the following from your post?
1) There shouldn't be any JWs who ",in any way, participate in Lent or pre-Lenten celebrations such as Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, etc."
2) Those JWs who do participate in some way are NOT in "full and complete agreement" with the Watchtower Society and the majority of JWs.
G75:
I guess you do not understand my answers. Must be to long. But yes you pretty much are stating what I said.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneSorry but I thought it was answered.
Did you miss my above post?
So if I'm understanding your comment and thought, you feel in order for the statement I said to be true, then everyone that says they are a JW, they have to completly 100% agree and no matter their maturity and understanding on any level of what we believe?
Is this your question?

"As you've already acknowledged, the reality is that there are JWs who are not in 'full and complete agreement' with the Watchtower Society and the majority of JWs."
You responded with the following basically accusing me of lying:
"And where did I agree that JW's are not in agreement? Don't say things that I did not say...................."
In the post I directed you to, I pointed out where you had, in fact, acknowledged what I had said.
You hadn't responded to that post, so I pointed it out to you.
Hopefully you'll be better than RC about admitting a mistake and apologizing. Why do you think he refuses to do so? I wouldn't think that it is what the Watchtower Society teaches.

Originally posted by RJHindsUnfortunately, at this point, I don't expect G75 to have the integrity to admit his mistake and apologize. He has already posted in other threads, but evidently has chosen to avoid doing this by ignoring my post.

Given that RC has repeatedly exhibited similar behavior and, if I'm not mistaken, G75 has done this before , one can only wonder if this is endemic of JWs.
Perhaps they don't believe in the second commandment of Jesus:
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

First extract the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to extract the straw from your brother’s eye.

Originally posted by ThinkOfOneI'm surprised that by now you haven't realised that robbie carrobie and Galveston (and probably all JWs) only answer those questions they consider support the WT governing body's stated opinion and direction. The obfuscation you are experiencing is otherwise manifested:

"Lol, you just don't get it do you?" (A Galveston favorite, when faced with a simple rebuttal of his opinion)
"Slime, pure slime and even more slime" (exclusive to robbie and usually reserved for FMF when he has presented robbie with his own words from an old thread which contradict a current theme he is presenting)
"If you weren't so blind you would be able to see what I'm saying" (usually Galveston when running out of ideas)
"I've already answered your question" (both - when obviously the question hasn't been addressed, just skirted around with waffle and misdirection)
"Your opinion is self-certified and therefore worthless" (a robbie special meaning you have no governing body which gives you your opinion)
"the original Greek contradicts your statement...." (a robbie academic special reserve; usually deployed when spitting angry and in a theological corner backed-up by scriptural evidence)

Forget about their neighbor. They can't even show brotherly love towards other Christians.
