That is a given. We are all stating our beliefs/opinions on various topics ; You for example, believe certain things are prideful but you neglected to state explicitly it was your belief (as in opinion) . That is not problematic as it is implicit in everything you (and all of us) post.
Yes, it is indeed my belief that we Jehovahs Witnesses belong to the only religious organisation that God approves of on earth today. All others will, we believe be destroyed during what the bible calls "the Great Trbulation". It is a part if the Jehovahs Witnesses belief system that ONLY they are qualified to be called Christians, which is why when people convert to their faith even if they were baptised, they have to be baptised "again".
That said I periodically remind people the following: NOTE All posts I write represent my personal faith based beliefs as one of Jehovah's Witnesses

Post #13Apart from the post leading to this I don't recall ever having talked about pride at all in these discussions. All I said in response to your words was "Perhaps it would be less prideful to say.....". You are reading an awful lot into that and adding more that just isn't there.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 2:23 am You for example, believe certain things are prideful but you neglected to state explicitly it was your belief (as in opinion) .

Re: Let us Golf and worship vorher Gods !!!
Post #14Fair enough ; you believe it would perhaps "be less prideful to say.....". ie you believe it would be prideful to say the alternative but LESS prideful to explicitly state it was a belief. You still however yourself neglected to explictly state you were expressing your belief (as in opinion).brunumb wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 5:59 amApart from the post leading to this I don't recall ever having talked about pride at all in these discussions.

My point being you do not have to tag on "this is a belief/ this is my opinion" to every statement for it to be implicitly understood to be such. Neither do I.

Post #15I didnt' say Jehovah's Witnesses are doomed for destruction.

King James Version
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
We literally have 10's of thousands of denominations of Christianity. How haughty must one be to make such a prideful claim?
How is the statement prideful. If you (general "you") dont believe you are not doing something correctly you shouldn't be doing it. The evidence has been presented on numerous occassions to support our position. If you sjncerely believe Jehovah's Witnesses are doomed for destruction, then you have every right to say it.

Re: Let us Golf and worship vorher Gods !!!
Post #17Whether or not it is prideful, it is flawed. There are no objective methods with which to interpret the Bible. Neither the JWs (ignoring the odd implications that they all belief the same) nor anyone else can claim to know they "simply apply it correctly." And yes, I know this will devolve into an issue that it is simply what they believe. Okay, then they (again pretending all JWs believe the same) can't provide any support for their belief. They can't explain why they believe that. And of course, in some instances, won't even attempt to.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 10:46 amNo, it is not, you are wrong... but be well anyway.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Not believing isn't the same as believing not.

Re: Let us Golf and worship vorher Gods !!!
Post #18The readers will decide for themselves if they think an idea like, "we above all others simply just apply it correctly" is prideful or not. Arrogant also comes to mind. I say this because none of the available gods or religions can be shown to be real, yet these sorts of claims still get uttered as if they were truthful. The truth is, we don't know if they are truthful and I find it prideful when people pretend to know what they don't. You probably would as well if it was an atheist making a claim like they were the only ones that could apply your holy book correctly.JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 10:46 amNo, it is not, you are wrong... but be well anyway.

Since you ignored it, I assume you acknowledge that I didn't say Jehovah's Witnesses are doomed for destruction and that the fall claim comes from your holy book.
