    Its not a good idea to attack a JW's faith, that will close their mind fast.

    Very true. Before any discussion of Watchtower history you need to have left snippets of information and had casual talks to determine the persons level of interest and openness to even considering alternate viewpoints.

    Every discussion with a JW must be done carefully, as it is very hard not to become confrontational, at which point the JW cult personality takes over and nothing gets through the defences.

    Thank you for listing the information of the beliefs of the WTS in 1919 in such a way. I never realized all of it before. It really does show that they were just appointing themselves to a position of being the only ones that God approved.

    To borrow a WTS analogy

    You can plant a seed, but if the soil is not receptive..............

    But if the seed can lie dormant, the soil can change.............

    It did in my case, took ten years to germinate

    If you aren't careful while opening the JW's mind, that could happen. Beware of the vacuum possibility.

    Its not a good idea to attack a JW's faith, that will close their mind fast. Any attacks are a sign to them that they are being persecuted in Jehovah's name.

    In a tactful way, sow the seeds of doubt a little at a time and they will eventually start to fade, we hope.

    so true. as blondie pointed out, in time it will germinate.
