doing a computer 'clean-out' came across this;
"We need to examine, not only what we personally believe, but also what is taught by any religious organization with which we may be associated. Are its teachings in full harmony with God’s Word, or are they based on the traditions of men? If we are lovers of the truth, there is nothing to fear from such an examination."
(THE TRUTH that leads to ETERNAL LIFE, p.13)
QED.
Zeb the wt. is in total fear now for a examination for the truth about them. It amazes me how their pass words come back to bit them in the ass. Still Totally ADD
All religions are based on the traditions of men as is the Bible.

"Follow those seeking TRUTH but run like hell from those who claim they have it!"
just saying!
" If we are lovers of the truth, there is nothing to fear from such an examination." (JW Eternal Life book)
Notice how JW spiel speaks of "lovers of the truth". It's a catch phrase to implant in the entrapped reader's mind that there is such a concept out there as "The Truth" and that they are its privileged lovers. This animal does not in fact exist except on the electronic page of the Watchtower and in the mind of JWs.
What is meant is a doctrinal myth which is the collective teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses as promoted by the leaders of the cult. By endless repetition over many years, it inculcates the idea that the JW org is the only holder of this specialised Truth concept-- and that those who believe this flimsy tale are flattered by being called the "lovers of The Truth". True and false, truth and falsehood exist but "The Truth" is propaganda.
As for the idea of permitting an examination of other beliefs based on evidence and reason-- well that leads directly to an interrogation by the elders after the meeting, followed dis-fellowshipping!
What blatant two-faced hypocrisy the JW org deals out.

Of course the WTS /JWorg leaders are corrupt propagandists for the organization which in reality supports themselves in both power and money..
