THe 2x2 group would fall apart if they taught the gospel.
All the gossip would get boring, all the workers would get kicked out of homes, people would not give workers money, people would accuse workers of their crimes, people would excommunicate workers,
Yes, sir, the 2x2 group would fall apart if they taught people to obey the Word of God
- Yes, sirree

I didn't see any judgement by ii, but simply a request for information....your rendition of the gospel. Perhaps the words "know it all and are so smart" could be construed that way but...ohhhhh, if I say what I want to say here...........I fear I am failing in my attempt to be more tolerant around here, aren't I??? (grrrrrrrrrrr, ii for leading me into temptation..... ) Anyway, the whole original post was obviously meant to be provocative...or at the very least intolerant of other's beliefs and condescending. That was an observation based on a very obvious post...not judgement. Is THAT right of YOU?? M. PS....let him who is without sin cast the first stone and all.... M.

Dear wtbwg, If I remember correctly, you came here a short while ago "sitting on the fence". (Or am I having a brain-short? LOL!) You've got a nice sense of humor, which is kind of nice here! How are you feeling about things now, if you don't mind sharing? Love, Edy

Ty, Edy....nice to hear! That said, I am still (read under av) dazed, confused, and not sure what the future will bring! I know that doesn't give anyone here who is wondering much to go on, but as you (and most) would know....a relationship with God is a very personal thing and progresses in its own time. I tend to still believe much of what I was raised with, regardless of what I have read here or elsewhere; that said, I disagree with some points of it. I believe God will judge our hearts and that there are others in other religions, etc. who will be saved as well. I read my Bible, I pray, I read here ,there and everywhere...but I really don't have set, strong opinions on some things yet. I, sadly, neglected my relationship with God (aside from prayer) for many years after leaving the meetings. I am trying to remedy that, at least in some small ways, now. Thanks for asking! M.

M. dear wtbwg, The next time bert, GIT, nathan, or any of those flavor of wacko 2x2 nutjobs puts out similar stupidity about other churches, you darn well better be the first person in line to thwack them over the head. Otherwise, you have demonstrated your own double-standard.

There's only one "person" I have to justify myself to, as if, and it doesn't happen to be you..... Mich (and I very likely will not be honoring your request, as I don't think those people are "nutjobs") I don't often (ever? don't know.) see them writing provocative posts meant only to 'stir the pot' a bit...I see them defending, defending, defending what they believe as it is attacked so often here. Big difference.

they weren't so totally off course; then those poor lost souls wouldn't have to "defend, defend, defend" from what I've seen of their writings they are desperate to be right in the workers way.

Well, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Just as I am mine...and mine differs from yours. M.

noted incorrectly, but noted just the same I see. (I don't think anyone on here is a "nutjob" ..not just bert, nathan, etc etc..so where do I have that double standard again?)

quote - "...they are desperate to be right in the workers way."
If any Worker comes preaching a Gospel we don't agree with, they are not going to find many accommodating homes.

Your opinion, obviously. but that's okay. You're entitled to feel superior to non-2x2s. It's in your mental DNA.

Yes Sharon, it works both ways. Most workers I know are younger than me - "young in the work and young in the way." I would not be comfortable hosting workers who don't hold to my doctrine. It is the doctrine I am supporting here.
