Rather you lend the impression that JWs are the nastiest, pettiest, most narrow-minded people in the world.

Then he could have a point

I'd say also to counteract the demon-posessed who keep running after Jesus.

Please explain this comment.

We ARE supposed to serve God through Jesus Christ. 

John 14 : 6

Jesus said to him: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Go careful xero, you may be showing your true colours here.

There is a difference: to pray directly to Jesus and different to pray to Jehovah through Jesus who paid the ransom. I am sure this is what he meant.

Yes. But I have no experience working with audio files. Nor do I have any studio. Some workarounds present themselves. But realistically, it will be a while and may not happen at all. I do have a voice though. I have consistently been told throughout my life that I ought to be on radio. (And no, it is not because I show my face on TV)

 

I'd like it if you did. I'll research some audio options. You reach a larger audience because there are a lot of people who listen during their commute, and at other times as well. I think I've listened to about 55 apologetics of various sorts (filtering out the obligatory Jesus is God, Trinity nonsense which like a flag salute is often thrown in for good measure) and I've learned a lot about the documentary evidence for the events in the 1st century as well as how amazing the evidence for the historicity of NT documents compares against every secular history which historians have no doubts in their minds as to authenticity. My years as a JW hadn't exposed me to the incredible level of historical and forensic documentation available attesting to the authenticity of the Christian Greek Scriptures as well as the most well attested-to miracle ever - the resurrection of Jesus. This evidence is the "Amen" to all that Jehovah has promised. The only reason people argue against these accounts when it comes down to it is that they 1. Don't believe God Exists 2. Therefore miracles don't happen. A few days reading material from the Discovery Institute's list of books and videos (and James Tour's exposes on all the bogus OOL (origins of life) pushed should suffice to kill any notion that we A. Live in a non-theistic world and B. That God doesn't intervene (He must necessarily have done so as there is no natural way to generate the various forms of life we have on this planet). (Of course I remember the Jewish astrophysicist I studied with (he got baptized) explaining to me that we couldn't even have a dead universe of the sort we have w/o a creator)

Yes but it is not in the NWT because it is supposed to be a false scripture ?????? 

John 8 starts at verse 12.

You fall under the unrepentant category so, your substance is zero.

Um interesting that you judge me. BUT I repent of my sins to Almighty God through Jesus Christ, as I should.

It would be false if you don't understand its context John.

My point is that you pretend to be a JW, BUT the NWT does not include that scripture and you as a JW should know that.

So, who do you believe, your GB's Bible or some other Bible ?

Yes, a wonderful thought indeed, BUT, even JWs on here don't seem to believe in miracles anymore.

Soft criticism is no different from harsh criticism.

There is such as thing a justified criticism. But it should always be done in a Christian way.

Do you know what is a master copy?  Do you know which master copy was used to translate the NWT?

When a miracle is an unexplained event which is beneficial then....sure I do believe in miracles.
