Are JWs in America back on the 'door to door' work now ?

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God,... - 1 John 4:1

God is spirit, demons are spirits, WTJWorg are spirit guided organization, Bible is inspired by spirit, human also have spirit. All of this numbered are connected to "spirit".

What is wrong to put all sorts of this spirits to challenge, to test? 

 

Off course…but I have a feeling you may be taking this scripture out of context…correct me if I’m wrong ..

When you stop doing that, common sense becomes the egotistical ravings of jerks.….. of which there is NO shortage.

For someone who claims to read the Bible

Please define what the phrase "reading the Bible" means to you in the context of the name Srećko? In what way do I claim, “I read the Bible”?

I don’t read the Bible every day, or occasionally. When I refer to a biblical passage or report I do so from memory or go to a book or google to see where it is and what it says.

So your claim, that I claim to be reading the Bible, is not provable, it is just your opinion.

people tend to not know how the law works

Very true, unfortunately child services have also become predatory.... because the privatized institutions get funded by the government and are profit driven. (This is another very dark scenario). Calling Police (to the average person) is a frightning prospect because a bad policeman can be the beginning of a frightening nightmare. The FBI is tenfold worse.  Citizens do not know how to hold them legally to order if they break the law themselves. Race may also be an issue. A lot of what goes on is just raw display and use if power. 

We have human laws but they are not enforced in a loving way..... and are not fair to all.  Most JWs also do not know how to act when an elder has overstepped the mark. Bottom line: injustice can happen anywhere and all humans are vulnerable to mild or hardened predators and all degrees of injustice.  One is just fortunate if something really bad has not happened to you.

I wish I could triple upvote Arauna’s last comment!

Dear Thinking, if this is the case with me then in my defense I can say that I am neither the first nor the last to whom this has happened. And, smarter heads than mine made far bigger misinterpretations.

Oh..okay..now I know why you take that scripture out of context….

Fatter heads are not necessarily smarter.

Unfortunately, that does not apply to God. 

NIV Luke 4:12

12 Jesus answered, "It says: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.
 

So, if a lightening bolt strikes you, you only have yourself to blame. 😉

Glad you can distinguish, between good and evil. However, at what point do you believe God applied his spirit to evil?

With man, knock yourself out. With God and Christ, never!

Be careful, you might be smitten by God where you stand. 😬

I understand this comment is meant for @Witness. However, can you clarify your position?

*** w12 10/15 p. 14 par. 8 What Kind of Spirit Do You Show? ***
8 To avoid that kind of spirit, we can remember that Jesus is pictured in the Bible as having “in his right hand seven stars.” The “stars” represent the anointed overseers and, by extension, all the overseers in the congregations. Jesus can direct the “stars” in his hand in any way he feels appropriate. (Rev. 1:16, 20) Thus, as Head of the Christian congregation, Jesus has full control of the bodies of elders. If someone on a body truly needs correction, the One who has “eyes as a fiery flame” will see to it that this is done in His own time and way. (Rev. 1:14) In the meantime, we maintain proper respect for those appointed by holy spirit, for Paul wrote: “Be obedient to those who are taking the lead among you and be submissive, for they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will render an account; that they may do this with joy and not with sighing, for this would be damaging to you.”—Heb. 13:17.
