How many faiths could stand the sort of scrutiny this site gives the WTs? None!
Really? How would you know what other "faiths could stand" Reniaa? Besides, isn't the WTS supposed to be "different" than all these other religions? Isn't it "the Truth", "God's visible Organization", and "Jehovah's Channel" whereas all other religions are part of "Babylon the Great"???
If someone makes the claim that they are the sole means by which God is communicating to mankind, then that religion should be able to stand up to any amount of scrutiny and pass with flying colours. What you don't like is that we have effectively scrutinized the religion and it has "been found wanting."

Homerovah the Almighty
1 John : 4
Test the Spirits
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Keep testing the Spirits Reniaa and the truth will be revealed to you

I have decided to jump in the fray once again, and I have read Reniaa’s posts… and wish to congratulate her, since in many posts she has come to the correct comnclusion without realizing it…
“Post 643: if we are looking for a perfect religion then your asking the impossible but Surely a religion at this time will stand out and for me the Jw's do.
They have made mistakes show me a church or government for that matter that hasn't,”Yep, since no religion is perfect (which if it were from a perfect God it should be) then you are correct. All religions make mistakes, demonstrating their man-mad origin.
“Post 649: Lol definitely Predictions are not a Wt forte they forget God has his own timetable that not even his son knows so.....Are Jw's wrong because they got a few dates wrong?
…
Which religion has the date right? (if you can tell me this I will drop any ideas of following JW's quicker than greased lightning and join them!)”You are correct in your rhetorical question. JWs are wrong because they got a few dates wrong. Since no religion can get any date wrong, there is no sense in following any of them.
“Post 650: We've got to comfortable choosing a religion is like choosing a TV or a Job we pick what suits us not god and what fits into our life and thoughts, we forget religion”
Yep, again, you reveal that people choose religion on what best suits them… just as how man created religions that best suited man.
“Post 653: They are only false if armegeddon is not going to happen.”
Well, you are 100% correct. Armageddon is not going to happen, so JWs are false. Kudos for figuring this out!
“Post 663: So if using faulty dates is a reason to condemn a religion then I think we would have to condemn all religions”
Eureka!!!!!! Exactly… all religions should be condemned!!!!!!!!
“Post 666: if we condemn all faiths for anticipating dates then we wouldn't even follow the bible because even in thessalonians they anticipated jesus.”
Exactly! We have no reason to follow the Bible either!
“Post 670: One thing is clear we are both apposing (sic) religions and if in this thread the full laundry list of Jw beliefs are going to come out, I reserve the right to hold a long laundry list against other faiths too.”
Yep, I agree with you Reniaa, we should condemn both the WTS and other faiths… they all have a long list of dirty laundry!
“Post 677; How many faiths could stand the sort of scrutiny this site gives the WTs? None!”
Well, I ask, how many faiths can stand the scrutiny of the WTS? Ever read a book called “Mankind’s Search for God”? All it did was criticize other religions and “prove” that JWs are the one true faith.

I am glad that Reniaa has posted wisely and has indicated that there are faults in all religions, the Bible is not trustworthy, and since Armageddon is not coming, we shouldn’t believe in JWs…
Finally Reniaa is coming to the dark side! Woo Hoo!

Well, erm (to quote Reniaa), all I did was to quote her own posts... I mean, that's pretty much all we evil anti-JW apostates have to do with the WTS... we just quote what the Society, led by God's Holy Spirit yet not Inspired, has said...
@Gladring...
Ramen, my Pastafarian Brotha! Ahoy Matey!

I'm sorry, Gladring...
I have read the Gospel of the Flying Spahetti Monster and found it made false predictions... Reniaa was right... all religions are bad...
