I hate the preaching.
So, what is that supposed to mean?

I hate the preaching.
The purpose is to preach original sin and catch fish.

Unattended kids eating an apple is evil? No, it's not. It's what kids do. I recall studies from the past in which children were left alone in a room with cookies and forbidden to eat them. They did anyway, because that's what kids do. The following is similar, but it involves not a threat, but a reward for delayed gratification. The kids predictably failed there as well:
It seems more like its repelling fish because to me, it makes them sound like fanatics. Plus, I'm guessing that probably some of the rank and file feel this way too.
And for a person who doesn't know that much about Jehovah's Witnesses, how can you say that for sure?
It means David, I hate that guys preaching.
I don't make conjecture about people like you just did above.
I think you are just looking for some thing to argue about so you are prying to create a new topic to argue.
It won't work because I am not interested in bigotry or any genetic fallacies.
That was taken out of context.
PS - Is the sentence "In my opinion" part of your signature? It really doesn't make sense in the post.
Psalm 51:5 - Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge. 5 Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.
Romans 5:12 - "When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned."
Sin entered the world, the Bible says. We were brought forth in iniquity, sinful upon conception. Them's the facts.
The psalmist realized there is a confined setting to sin. It's in our makeup, can't help it. Only forgiveness from God can set us straight IF we go His way.
(The way is narrow, said Jesus -- few would find it.)

Well, I've always wondered if something was wrong with him.
But how do you know what I said was conjecture?
Well, no because this is thread is in the Religious Debate forum and not the Religious Q&A forum.
Well, I guess you have a point because it would be your bigotry not mine. But how could there be any genetic fallacies since what is being said involves JWs' current doctrine?
Yeah. You said "for a person who doesn't know that much about Jehovah's Witnesses". Conjecture.
True. But what do you want to debate about with me?
So, do you?
You're the one who brought up debating.
That's irrelevant to the thread and me. So please open a new thread to discuss "are you unaware completely of JW's".
Please explain how?Vee said: ↑

Yes, that is what those verses say, however, what is the point of Lett's specification? It's almost as if the regular Jehovah's Witnesses can't come to that conclusion on their own from reading Psalms 51:5 or Romans 5:12, and Lett had to make that a point in JW doctrine.YoursTrue said: ↑

That's a strawman, but would you participate?
If you open a thread, people will participate.
But that's not what I asked you. I asked you if you would participate.
