Why is it so hard for a JW to admit when they are wrong about anything?

    especially about the Bible?? Why would JWs rather argue and argue instead of admitting defeat and wrongdoing?

    Because they have a direct channel to Jehobah through the F&DS.

    Because they CAN'T be wrong since it's "the Truth". That is all with the fact that they HAVE been wrong several times in the past.

    Because as soon as they do the door is wide open and anything is possible. This is just to scary of a thing to think about for many.

    It is this fear of the unknown that keeps them from accepting that their assumptions about life that have been given to them by the WTS are wrong.

    Because they cannot think for themselves, they parrot back anything written by the WTB, and as we all know the FDS has a direct channel to joehoba therefore they must be right every time.

    Simply because someone who has all the answers and god on their side can't be wrong

    And maybe they were this way before becoming a JW.... part of the attraction.

    Dear A-Team:

    "Why would JWs rather argue and argue instead of admitting defeat and wrongdoing?"-A-Team

    Regarding your question takes into account several
    factors. However, to save time the one perspective
    that is undeniable is that by admitting something
    is wrong is to harbor doubts about their beliefs.

    If questions are raised and they do not defend the
    belief system, then within the minds of these
    individuals it may lead them to think they
    may not have the "truth" as so they thought.

    Respectfully,

    Richard
