    The question should be WHO is truth. I believe the World had a Creator. I believe that Creator gave us a brain,
    I believe the instuctions that came with us. was scripture ( Yes I believe man added some of his own thoughts to it )
    That is a typical man/woman !!! wants to know it all ( sorry ) But if we stick to the words that we KNOW can bring us
    problems ..... like not having love, thinking more of ourselves than is neccesary ,look at your neighbours wife/hubby to
    lust over them, to steal etc:

    Now in my reading of the SON ,That MY Heavenly Father told me to listen to .tells the truth He is the TRUTH...
    I think all else are liars. If any one in the world says they have never lied. Well I dont believe them ..I still love em,
    but I wont believe them.Unless they have never been able to talk at all I guess that makes them exceptions.
    I was told before on this board I am a pain in the arse with my thoughts. But because I am Mouthy
    I cant resist.

    Truth conforms to reality. Reality is perceived. Truth is perceived. Truth does not equal true. Things that are true are the truth. Things that are false are the truth. Things that are not the truth are the truth if they are perceived as such.

    Do JWs have the truth? Yes.

    Do Muslims have the truth? Yes.

    Do Catholics have the truth? Yes.

    Do scary, hairy one-eyed monsters live in your closet when the lights go out? Yes....this is a truth in minds of many children.
