Not that old chestnut....

Just come off the phone to my Mum. She asked me why I DA'd from the WTBTS, she'd been to the meeting this morning and she'd been at the bottle as well - not a good combo, for her, anyway.

I said I did'nt want to go into it too much, as I may stumble her. She kept pushing so I said, last year I was'nt happy about the overlapping generation doctrine and did'nt agree that the Org had taken bits out of the NWT. Quoting 1 Tim 3:16 and that you can't mess with a sacred book. Imagine doing that to the Koran!! I also said that I did'nt think the GB had the right to carry on the way they were. So she said and here it is;

"Jehovah's Organisation isn't perfect". If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that in 14 years.

I said she'd been brainwashed at that point. I was really frustrated. She says nothing will shake her faith. Thank god the GB are'nt getting people to do suicide bombings, yet......

What is wrong with these people, why do they believe this crap, even when you present them with these facts??

"Jehovah's Organisation isn't perfect".

The Watchtower Society certainly isn't perfect. If Jehovah had an organization he'd surely reveal the correct understanding of his word right from the beginning. Millions of JW's from the past have gone to their graves trusting they had learned the TRUTH and now that TRUTH has been changed.

Saw a documentary on TV once about lizards who just get up from their sleeping place and tread the same path through the grass each day to find food and then when they are tired they walk back the same way and sleep. Every day the same. I said to my daughter, I know people like that.

The one thing I want to ask a jdub, if I ever have the chance to talk to one, is "what has the organization gotten right"?

When I was in that we predicited 1914 was always the anchor and we could overlook the other mistakes and changes.

Ask your mother if she can tell you how many ways there are to get forgiveness of sins?

She'll probably say 'One'.

Then ask her to tell you how many ways the Org says there are! (Two!)

Ask her to do research on Romans 6:7, using the WT CD ROM, look her straight in the eye, and tell her that the WTBTS and the Governing Body of The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses are BLASPHEMING the ransom sacrifice of Christ, by lying to and teaching 8 million Witnesses and 9,254,963 Bible studies, that their own death wipes out their sins!! Come on down Adolf - you are acquitted of your sins because you stopped breathing in the bunker!!)

A demon inspired expression!

( w07 1/1 p. 28 par. 11 “The First Resurrection”—Now Under Way;

" It seems that resurrected ones of the 24-elders group may be involved in the communicating of divine truths today."

So the OctoPope is sitting in Brooklyn every week, having a seance with what they think are "resurrected anointed ones".

Wouldn't you just love to be a fly on that wall!

The only use statements like this when they've been caught in an error. All the rest of the time you are expected to take everything they saw as if it came straight from God's mouth.

They can't have it both ways.

Theres a Huge Difference between "Isn`t Perfect" and..
