What's really more important to you, to search for truth or to defend what you believe is truth?

The 144,000 teaching. They take that one figure and make it literal while the rest is figurative.

My most recent encounter at the mall went like this:
Elder: Hi, W! Haven't seen you in a long time! Are you living in this neighbourhood again?
Me: F*ck off, bitch!
Normally I wouldn't act like that, but he was a bastard to me the whole time I was a JW. He knows I'm out now, and as far as I'm concerned his initiating conversation with me was just leading up to his saying something ignorant to me. I decided to beat him to the punch.

First I tell them I don't believe in the existence of God. That generally gets them away from using the Bible to "prove" their doctrine.
They usually move on to evolution and origin of life. I tell them that evolution is not an article of faith for me. It's a theory and a work-in-progress, and I'm not sure it explains everything. As far as the origin of life, I tell them I have no idea and that it's a topic I'm not really interested in. What's important is that we're here; how we got here is anyone's guess.
This approach knocks all their props out from under them and usually leaves them with their mouths hanging open. I don't offer them anything they can argue with and soon they go away. -

Used this a few weeks ago:
Everything you do as a Witness is because of your love for your fellowman, right? Well I found I could do a lot more for people by not being a JW than by being one.
I simply left it at that.

Even the NWT reads, "Do not put your trust in earthling men " The WTS is governed by "earthling men."
