    Imagine i wanted to sell you a painting. I gave you a lot of documents and proof that infact it was a valuable Constable Painting. The price was high but for what you appeared to be getting, the sacrifice in money is worth it.

    What if, for example. I held back documents and proof that might make this a copy, a fake or clearly NOT a constable painting? You'd be upset and demand to know why i'd do such a thing. You wouldn't buy a painting from me again and would make sure no one else did for fear they'd end up getting hurt.

    Someone sold me a painting once. They gave me evidence and proof to back up their story. I bought it and held onto it no matter what. Turns out that what i was willing to give my life for, was worth nothing.

    Does an experienced diver go without checking his equipment? Do you cross the road without looking? Does a climber go without first checking his ropes and equipment? Will someone set out on a long journey without a map and compass?

    Back to the painting. Point is this. The painting is the "Paradise" and the Watchtower Society. The Seller is your average Jehovah's Witness. They sell you something that they didn't know the details of. They thought they had conclusive proof in their hands. Sadly they don't.

    What to look for? Check-out the UN Scandal and importantly the 607 B.C.E date for Jerusalems Destruction. You might be surpised to find your "painting" is a fake.

    I bought that painting too. Im ashamed to say that, without even seeing the validity documents, I was so convinced they existed and were true I tried to sell that painting on to as many people as possible.

    Now I cringe. Fortunately, no-one bought the painting off me. Seems like I wasnt a very good salesman, thank god!!!!

    I was a buyer as well, I invested 25 years of my life on it, and unfortunately I got a few others to buy it off me. A couple of them are still investing. I hope they see it for the fake it is one day, as I have.

    Yeh, i shut down my art gallery too! Lets hope more shut shop.

    I hope they see it for the fake it is one day, as I have.

    i know how that feels but a lot of the folks here told me that, you can't blame yourself just as you took it they did too!

    I grew up with that "painting" hanging on the wall at our house. I looked at it every single day wondering whether it was authentic or not. When I "grew up" and left home, I found out that you could get that same "painting" at any second hand store without the pain and cost.

    and the "canned reply" -- but the way of the truth is still the best way of living, no better way can there be found.
