"And for what it's worth, I believe many things in the Bible make it easy for cults to justify their actions." - drwsn32
I agree with your statement drwsn32.
Religions have been using the bible to promote their agendas for centuries. You will find an answer for every question you have. Depending of what you want, you will find the appropriated answer to “give” your followers. If you want to keep people captive you will say something like; the devil can capture us at will, 2 Timothy 2:26. But if you want people to feel a little confident about their selves and what they believe you will say that (the devil) can’t capture us, James 4:7.
You might say that you can find god by reasoning alone Romans 1:20, then again if you need the money and the followers you can use Job 11:7.
Of course there are no contradictions, just interpretations or misinterpretations that can be used to mislead people.
You can follow your own heart Ecclesiastes 11:9, even if somewhere in that little book you can find a verse that said you should not, Numbers 15:39
I am still believe that the WTS it’s a cult.
Take care,
