[Cronos]

cyc: How many denominations do you know of that actually ask their members to get off their backsides and get out to preach the word?

you have a point -- if the Jehovah's Witnesses are anything, they are persistent and persevering. Something for all of us to learn from.

There is more to Russellism than being “asked” to proselytize. It is strictly a works system and the folks hit the streets to make what they think are merit points with Jehovah God.

I realize the New Testament teaches that “faith without works is dead” but the orthodox emphasis is always on “faith.” The “works” is something the believer should WANT to do to express his love for both God and his fellow man and not just some sort of obligation.
