pick any location/day/time that meets your needs, and you are always welcome.
If you're ever in the DFW area I'll join you and even treat you to lunch after.
Actually that is a possibility sir. I might take you up on it. As far as the post however, I knew he wouldn't be, same as with us, as he resides in heaven. He is coming back however, we pray for that regularly.

On the lighter side, Hiway. I hear everyone gets to preach at Kingdom Hall.

Do you actually have a preacher or is everyone doing the preaching?

Just wondering how that works?

Well Highway, that's ok, I can't blame you for doubting,
as even Thomas doubted "until he put his finger in risen Jesus's wounds" (John 20:27)
and the two disciples that didn't recognize the risen Jesus until "He took bread, broke it, and gave it to them" (Luke 24:30-31,35)
and the rest of His disciples likewise till the risen Jesus "came, took the bread and gave it to them" (John 21:13)
"Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them." John 14:21

First off, observing a worship service other than your own does not require that you in any way compromise your beliefs. Do you seriously believe that you would somehow be soiled by observing someone else's worship service? I wonder if you'd feel dirty if you were to attend a performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Do you suppose Jesus was worried about becoming "unclean" when He dined with sinners?

I was curious to what you meant when you were said that everyone gets to preach at the hall.

There is a brief video what happens at a Kingdom Hall Charlie:

We have elders, ministerial servants, that primarily give talks. Since all of us are ministers, we have a ministry school in which students get on the platform and give talks. Women who are not to teach in the congregation, conduct studies with other women on the stage so that they can be trained as well.

I do not doubt at all CC, it is simply what the Bible really teaches.

I will attend weddings and funerals of friends of other faiths, but that is it. Rev 18:4

If Christian's practice Babylonian Christmas and Easter, how does that not getting intertwined work for them? No doubt, involving oneself in paganism makes a pagan, but why dont Christian's believe this?

If you change Gods holy days, you have changed religions.



The Bible was authored by Jehovah, penned by His witnesses, for His witnesses sir.

Wow. Well these are definitely religious services. Where is the line drawn? And why would you not be disciplined for attending a Catholic funeral mass?
