The irony here is that many Christians appear to believe they speak for God, but their so-called divine messages from God are frequently conflicting.

At no time did those who spoke for God need the approval of the general public. They suffered at the hands of many people who hate the message of the true God. That is because the world turned away from its Creator from the beginning, and now God is speaking to the world for a few. He is telling them to repent of their evil deeds and to listen to Jesus Christ and acknowledge Him as the King of God, the only means by which humanity will continue to exist represented only by the meek who stop practicing things that God disapproves of.
It is what it is.
It is what it is.
Which God is true? I've worshipped quite a few. Yours included.
Those who preach on RF will never have the approval of the one true staff.

No, it certainly is not Jehovah talking. It is men who wrote the Old Testament speaking for God, and there is no reason to believe that knew anything about God since they were only men, not even Prophets of God.
God did not write the Bible.
There is only one true God, the one I believe in. I need no other God.

There are a few Bahais people preaching all around. I wonder if their preaching is special.

I did not know whether to rate that as Haha or Winner, but I had to choose.
I'm still laughing.

Jehovah is laughing in heavens.I did not know whether to rate that as Haha or Winner, but I had to choose.
I'm still laughing.
Psal. 2:4 The One enthroned in the heavens will laugh;
Jehovah will scoff at them.
5 At that time he will speak to them in his anger
And terrify them in his burning anger,
6 Saying: “I myself have installed my king
On Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah;
He said to me: “You are my son;
Today I have become your father.
8 Ask of me, and I will give nations as your inheritance
And the ends of the earth as your possession.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter,
And you will smash them like a piece of pottery.”
10 So now, you kings, show insight;
Accept correction, you judges of the earth.

The difference is that a Baha'i would never say that those who do not respect the Writings of Baha'u'llah will never have the approval of the true God.
Yes, it is, in the way that it has this mysterious power to make certain JWs think it justifies their own preaching.

And now you know what God is doing? You must be pretty special.

First: I am not preaching anything. I am answering questions according to my beliefs, like everybody else.
Second: If I am forced to accept other people's beliefs without responding to what I think, then this forum has no meaning.
Third: If the agenda of the forum is to force people to believe what the Bahais think, then change the name.
I am out of this forum for ever. I don't need this. You need people here. What would a circus be without spectators?
Good bye.

I wish I could have given his post more than one winner rating. I think it was brilliant.

"Those who do not respect the Bible will never have the approval of the true God" is not an answer to a question.
On this forum nobody is forced to accept other people's beliefs without responding with what they think.
The agenda of the forum is certainly not to force people to believe what the Baha'is think.
Most people on here do not even agree with the Baha'is.
No worries, there are plenty of other JWs here who will entertain us.

They really need to use their God's actual name. It gets very confusing when you just say god. Which one of the many are you talking about. Why not just name the god you want to refer to rather than the generic term God.
Their tribe's God called Himself the "God of Gods" and they seem to think He meant for everyone, not just them.

No, Jehovah's ways are not my ways. We are different. I'm not Jehovah. I'm me. It is desired (by God) that I walk in my truth, accept discipline when required, and seek peace with all people. To prove blamelessness is in the eye of the blamed and accused by our accusers. I don't like anchovies on pizza. I'm sure anchovies are needed and useful in their own element and ecosystem.

To each their own household. I come from bible roots and from many of the branches that grew from that tree. I will either remain associated or be required to grow my own roots as a person. I viewed the bible similar to how you presented your truth at one time, too. I've also adopted many of the views from where I came up, including the sciences.

I don't like anchovies on my pizza either, and I also don't like olives on my pizza!
My late husband liked olives in his pizza so when he was here I used to take the olives off of my half of the pizza and put them on his half.

Yeah but that god was mistaken and is not the god of gods. He must have a name at some time because even the Abrahamic religions were once polytheistic.
