I have been following the anti-wittness post over the weeks on here and the responces to the rediculous questions..It is clear as scripture says that they would not be open to reasoning and would make up thier own teachings to thier own understanding(2 timothy 3:1-5). My question to you is ,should we make an effort to correct then online or should we just ignore this topic?

I think that certain people with genuine questions should be addressed. Some people will indeed make up their own minds without hearing all the facts but as long as we have tried our hardest to share our important message, that is all we can do. Jehovah does not want people to love him if he has to force them to do so. So I think helping open-minded ones who have the 3 H's - Hungry (for spiritual things), Honest, and Humble, is a good idea.

I usually ignore the anti-witness questions/comments. I try to search for those who have sincere questions about certain scriptures or accounts in the Bible. Then I try to answer them from the Bible and I usually give the official website in case they are interested. I think it is a waste of time to deal with people who are not open to any agreement.

yeah,... just like JWs wont listen to reason or understand scripture. And mind you, it wasnt the Christians who changed words in the Bible to make Jesus appear to be a creations, that was your people. Remember about 40 years ago it was becomming impossible to teach people JW teachings using the KJV or the NASB because those you couldnt get away from Christs Diety in those books and the JWs had to go translate their own NWT?

I have read your translations. You are the one ignoring the fact that your translation is simply left out for even literature students. Nothing I can say will sway you from your way. Yet, you cannot come up with a reasonable excuse as to why even secular people think your bible is biased. Come on.

Not being a JW, I often like to defend them whenever possible, not because I believe JW doctrines, but because I believe everyone has the right to believe what they choose, and worship who or what they may. I usually find that those that criticise are mis-informed or deliberately trying to mislead others.

We must always try to show the truth in love to those that may have a receptive ear and an open heart.
I beleive that you know; if you are a JW, that Satan rules the earth and all things around - including Yahoo.

I am not a Witness but have had bible study with friends of mine who are Witnesses. I have tried to talk to several people who like to bash people for their beliefs and have found that is probably best to leave them alone and ignore the topic.

People who bash other people's religions are not true Christians because I do not think that your church taught you to do that.I would say try to help them if they want help.If not,persevere!
Also,JWs don't just think they are correct,but they believe all who follow Jehovah will be resurrected to EARTH Paradise.
Stop bashing them others just because they don't follow you.Some people are good,others,umm..not so much.

What does your spiritual leader advise? Does he or she advise that when others mock you stop trying to teach? Or does he or she say to just press on and keep spreading your belief so that you may recruit one for the kingdom?

He is not a real Jehovah's Witness.Real Witnesses are not allowed to read postings that are anti JW.They would be excommunicated for such.
