    Met a small group of Jehovah's Witnesses today

    A couple of Jehovah's Witnesses came to my door today. At
    first my reaction was that I was not interested and I let them know
    that as I was closing the door.

    However, after I closed the door it dawned on me to question them
    regarding the United Nations issue. And so I ran after them and
    started to question them regarding the issue.

    The Confrontation

    Two of them knew absolutely nothing about it. The third one
    said "Oh, yes, I know all about it—it was a big controversy!"

    I proceeded to show her the documents regarding the issue
    including Paul Hoffels letter and some letters from the Society.

    Her reaction? "Oh, those are from the internet? she asked."
    "Yes, they are I answered." She proceeded to say," In order to
    get anything accurate it has to come from Watchtower.org"

    In other words, everything from the internet is discounted or
    discredited based on the fact that it did not come out of the
    Watchtower Society.

    The Conclusion

    She also claimed that they had all of the "documents and
    paperwork" regarding the United Nations issue in the King-
    dom hall. I invited the group to come back with such
    documentation to prove their case.

    Does anybody know if the Watchtower has documentation
    in the Kingdom Hall proving their innocence regarding the
    United Nations issue?

    Unless US JWs read British papers or go to "apostate" sites, they would never have heard anything in the congregation unless they were an elder and there had been a BOE letter addressing how to answer any questions.

    Better to ask why JWs can accept hemoglobin-based producs (blood fractions) which are made from human blood since no blood can be stored. Have a newspaper article or two on JWs who have accepted such products and the WTS response (check on Google).

    "a small group" at the door? 2 adults and a child, 2 adults and 2 children, 2 adults and 3 children, more than 2 adults? Do they go in herds now?

    Dear Blondie:

    Two women at the door and
    one man seated in the car
    parked outside.

    My fault I should have
    clarified that a little
    better.

    Respectfully,

    No, it was not an elder it was
    one of the women in the group.

    I am sorry that I did not ask
    what source she gathered the
    information from.

    I was a jw at the time of the UN scandal, and we heard nothing from the wts. Anyone who asked about it was told it was apostate lies, the usual excuse of course, like the Guardian newspaper wouldn't check its' sources before publishing a story like that! Unless this guy is an elder, he won't have access to any documentation, and then it'll only be what the wts has told him to say. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for them to return with the evidence if I were you.
