text: why do jehovah witness avoid truth? it seems like the majority of jw's always get out of subject and context  just like there teachings. why can't they answer the question, instead they forget about the question and state something else. can it be that they can not admit to the truth and try do drag you into a different subject. is this the group they call the faithful and discreet slave? would a faithful person admit to truth or disregard it? i think a biase person would disregard it? please correct if i am wrong. "i guess everybody has questions" but you might get a better response if you post them. "avoid", you ask?  rather than "avoid" discussing bible truth, the witnesses are among the most prominent seeking to encourage such discussions. globally, more than 6.5 millions jehovah's witnesses share in the public ministry each month. one cannot be considered an "active" witness unless one preaches. http://jw-media.org/people/statistics.htm  as true christians, jehovah's witnesses work to please god and christ rather than man or selves. it does not even matter if anyone listens to their message, since the bible foretold that many (such as the questioner) would not "put up with the healthful teaching". the witnesses continue to preach because they value the bible's direction more highly than empty accusations and lying slander.  true christians do not work to persecute godly ministers; true christians do not avoid teaching the kingdom good news from house to house. jehovah's witnesses are proven to be true christians in that they follow this command of christ and example of the early christians.  (matthew 28:19-20) [jesus commanded] go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things i have commanded  (acts 5:42) every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the christ, jesus.  (acts 20:20) i did not hold back ...from teaching you publicly and from house to house  (2 timothy 4:3-5) for there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching ...and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. you, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.  learn more: http://watchtower.org/library/jt/article_04.htm http://watchtower.org/library/g/1998/7/8/article_01.htm http://watchtower.org/library/w/2003/3/1/article_01.htm
