As a faithful Jehovah's Witness, achtung_heiss is great at giving answers as direct quotes from the official Watchtower website. But will he ever engage in direct conversation with someone who is critical of his religion?

achtung_heiss,

Thanks for responding. I apologize if I've misunderstood your answers as always being direct quotes from your religion's website. However, I'm still puzzled by the fact that you don't seem to want to engage in conversation. Most Jehovah's Witnesses I've met are the same way: They are always ready to speak and share their religion's official teachings, but not willing to listen, or even question what they are repeating, assuming is the truth. The Unbiblical doctrines asside, the Watchtower has for years been wrong on key points—including repeatedly falsely predicting when Christ would return. Will you engage in conversation about these things?

TeeM: I agree wholeheartedly that arguing or debating doctrine for the sake of trying to win an argument will do neither person much good. However, what have you to say for the thousands who have left the Watchtower Organization, who now call themselves Christians and fellowship with other likeminded followers of Christ outside the Kingdom Hall? Are you too not willing to discuss the reasons they have left? Are you not willing to hear their testimonies of a changed heart, of their personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

Great question bro!

LOL!

Yes he is great at trying to direct you to the watchtower but you are right he will never engage in a direct conversation with someone who is critical of his religion. That is because the Bible condemns it. I think he should research watchtower history and he may come around. The watchtower is taking him and other jw's for fools!

While some consider Yahoo Answers to be a tool of their agenda-driven propagandism, others do not. Civility and restraint seem the most appropriate response with serious matters such as involve God, Christ, and true worship.

Incidentally, nearly every word of every answer by this answerer has been typed by a single person (me). This answerer does reuse his own past writings. Perhaps 2% of this answerer's answers contain even a brief quote from any publication or website of Jehovah's Witnesses, and such quotes are both necessary to demonstrate that some position is "official" and plainly referenced as quotations.

Since most of Jehovah's Witnesses have come from other religions,

We have already proved to ourselves that non witness doctrines are false.

We have already proved to ourselves that most criticism are based on half truths if not out and out lies.

We do not need to re-hash or re-learn false doctrine again.

Most witnesses I know are happy to discuss the bible with almost anyone.

Most witnesses I know will not argue the bible.

If a person is not willing to change his beliefs, then arguing isn't going to prove anything.

There are plenty of people who are desiring to learn the truth, that it is senseless to argue.

I think it is terribly inappropriate to ask a question about another contributor.

I personally do not report or have anything to do with Y! Q&A outside of answering Qs by other people.

I will try to obliquely reference a certain answerer and tell them they are again espousing heresy.

Attention Hot does not tell quite the truth about cut and paste. Many same responses throughout the body of answers prove that this is a lie and the father of the lie is Satan.
