    Well, The belief that the entire earth was covered completely with water for over a year, and yet plant life still lives, and there is no evidence of it to be found, is quite illogical... (Also if it was covered with salt water, all freshwater fish would be dead, and if it was covered with fresh water, all saltwater fish would be dead... and before you ask, there is no perfect balance of salt/fresh water, otherwise it would be used in fish tanks... ir must be one or the other.)

    The belief that the whole solar system stood still for a day, so that some guy could finish killing people... and yet there is no evidence of it to be found, is quite illogical...

    The belief that all the animals, will eat grass and will stop killing each other, even though they very obviously are incapable of making such a switch. (What about that wasp, who has to lay its eggs inside a caterpiller to reproduce? Or the vampire bat, or the gnats and ticks... they have no way of surviving on plants.) That's quite illogical. And would require and immense change of anatomy for 75% of everything on earth.

    The belief that someone, an invisible and indetectible spirit creature, that has the whole world in his power, who claims that humans would be better off without god, would deliberatly cause problems for them, thus ruining his whole arguement, is quite illogical.

    I should also point out that humans were not designed to live forever, that's why our spines slowly get worse the longer we live, we only have two rows of teeth, and why would we have an immune system, and sneeze reflexes if we weren't supposed to get sick?

    That we are to "abstain from blood" but can take it in bits and pieces.

    That animals won't eat each other, but somehow the earth won't be overrun by these animals and nature will remain in balance.

    My fav is the "faithful & discreet slave class". How anyone could read an illustration and define the FDS as the Watchtower does is beyond comprehension..."We don't want to show disrespect to the Faithful Slave"....Who is he???

    • That Jesus returned invisibly in 1914
    • Beards are so bad, you can't be an MS or elder if you have one
    • the first resurrection started in 1918
    • the Bible Students were chosen as the F&DS in 1919 because they had thrown off Babylonish teachings, even though they continued to celebrate Christmas, Easter, birthdays and used the Cross for many years afterwards
    • If a WT doctrine conflicts with what the bible says, you have to ignore the bible and accept the doctrine.
    • Jesus is not the mediator between God and men, despite the bible saying so
    • the 144,000 (12,000 from each tribe of Israel) is a literal number of symbolic Jews. To suggest otherwise is a DFing offence.
    • The Great Crowd is not in heaven, even though Revelation says they are.

    The list is endless.

    They believe Jehovah, the angels, Satan and the demons live in the spirit world. They teach about mircles, God sending angels to help people, demons tempting people, etc.

    This creates two believes.

    1. Spirits exist, good and bad

    2. They interact in the physical plain.

    Contradiction ...

    Jehovah's Witnesses dismiss all comments, or stories of people seeing spirits or communications with spirits, as DEMONS! What if the characters from the Bible, who supposely met angels, did this?

    Life isn't as important as blood

    having two witnesses is more important than child rape

    that a 12 year old is aware enough to dedicate the rest of its life to the organization

    the reinterpretation of doctrine is ok because men are allowed to make mistake, but the following of mens teaching is abhorred
