Wayne L,
Don't you think you ought to practice what you preach? You haven't answered a whole bunch of questions that have been asked of you in this thread, and yet you make an issue of a question that has already been answered. I've given the answer, but you won't accept it. Don't you think that's a problem in your argumentation?
I worked on the inside at the WT Society. So have others in this forum. We had access to information that most JWs do not have. We know what we're talking about, and all you have is your inability to doubt that the WT Society could ever do anything wrong. The burden of proof is on you. The Society hasn't disputed what we've said in public, so what reason do you have for believing your position is better than the Society's?
You eagerly grasp at straws to defend your erroneous belief that Jesus used the divine name. You have absolutely no dependable evidence for your belief, but you believe it with all your heart because, apparently to you, it just has to be true. Your faith is on a very sandy foundation. You eagerly believe only what men tell you to believe, not what the facts make crystal clear.
As I said before, you don't care, Wayne, even if a multitude of people have died at the hands of the Watchtower Society. You show no concern when one or two have died, and you don't care if millions have died. All you care about is the reputation of an organization invented and developed by sinful men. That organization is bloodguilty before God, and you share in that bloodguilt as long as you defend it.
I feel very strongly that your mind is closed, that you are incapable of accepting what newspapers, reference works and other sources say in criticism of the Society. I have no doubt that you will remain with this position until the day you die. Perhaps Judgment Day will change your mind.
I'm not going away until people like you go away!That being the case, Wayne, you're going to be here a mighty long time, if you live that long. We're here to stay too. And long after you've turned to ashes, there will be multitudes of others who will be here to point out shameful and gross errors such as those promoted by the Watchtower Society.
