Jesus. Jesus is the truth. When you believe in Jesus, then we all have the truth.

If everything known about a tree is written in a book, and you place that book next to a tree, where is the truth?
I think that is an excellent analogy!

Anyone who follows a god that says 'Worship me or i'll KILL you' is as far from the TRUTH as the earth is from the sun.

Why should any one organization or person have the truth?
Is there really a truth?

So do I. A lot of the jws beliefs are not provable, and some of them, like 607, are easily disprovable. Yet this is the "truth" they teach to those who agree to study with them. Surely, that makes their world - wide preaching work invalid. Therefore, they are not acting in harmony with Matthew 28, however much they claim to be doing so.

Their preaching is not a proof that they are the true religion since their overall actions leave much to be desired. In addition they are not the only ones preaching and they just as anyone else never penetrated half the world Hindus, Moslems, Chinese with their preaching.

Hello there:
There is nobody who has the 'truth', not even the apostle Paul. He had only partial knowledge..Lookie here:
ICor. 13:1 NAV "If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing symbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. ..If there are prophesies, they will be brought to nothing, if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing. For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. .......So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
Bottom line: When the perfect comes...Jesus, our knowledge or the JW's knowledge will look like nothing....So knowledge is not what we should strive for..but LOVE, faith and hope.
The JW's put knowledge up as the way to life...but it is NOT.....LOVE is, and they are sorely lacking in that!!!! So they don't have what it takes...Like the brother said.. on one of the 1st responses...
Disfellowshipping is not LOVE>>>>>>>>
Hope this helps somewhat.... Yours, STAR

Faith, fact, and fiction all look the same with a "truth" sign attached. Faith and fiction are useless in medicine and they are useless in defining a pragmatic life. Discount everything you hear, half of what you see and everything you read. Learn the difference between evidence and proof, between objective and subjective, and between fact and opinion.
Reality is not a concept.
