I thought that when one comes to Christ He places them where He wants them and not by an initiation by man.

Good for you Kat, Jehovah knows and feeds His sheep no doubt about it. That is the great thing about Him, He sees to it that everyone is reached to His satisfaction before He sends His forces to bring this system to it's close. Mat 24:14

See the distinction sir? You openly altered my post stating very clearly by your actions that we are not Christians, I don't mind however, that is but one of the distinctions between us, in fact it give me the actual written evidence of what I said about you in the past. That is the beauty of things in black and white, once they are written, they are historically recorded.

No sir, although he is directing it through the faithful slave, he will not make an appearance. The Bible indicates the next time he returns, it will be the battle of Armageddon, which the day and hour is still in the future. No doubt he will be very welcome, in my opinion it will not happen.

Don't twist my words to say what they don't.

You have been told repeatedly to say "Jehovah's Witnesses" when that's what you mean and to say "Christians" when you mean all Christians. Your post was reported because you implied that the Jehovah's Witness Convention represented all of Christianity.

All of the Christians who post here are deserving of the same respect, whether you think they are or not. You do not get to co-opt the term "Christian" or "Christianity" to refer to Jehovah's Witnesses to the exclusion of all the other Christians.

Thanks, but no. I don't think my Rabbi would approve.

this is NOT an "initiation" into any flock sir. it's just as it is, an invitation to our convention. MANY who are not witnesses had came. and they actually said they enjoyed the unity of the people. some have said that in there congregation, there is NO unity. and they pretty much know one another. but they see even though we're different race from Kingdom Halls in our city. we treat each other as though we're personal friends. the MANY, are still whatever their faith is, they haven't became witnesses, and that's find. Jehovah God doesn't make anyone worship him. so it's not up to us to try and overstep him. we just invite people so that they can see what really goes on. instead of them listening to an outsider. also they just might enjoy it!

I guess some folks are more interested in having friends than hearing the truth.

So, a Jesus convention, with NO Jesus!
That will be a hard 'I'll pass' for me, then!
