Someone is researching Jehovah’s Witnesses. They happen to come on to this site. Do the Witnesses have the Truth??
We say absolutely not! If you were trying to explain why we say that what evidence would you provide?

The bible says that the truth is a person not an "it". It is a question of whom, not where it's at.
Jesus said, " I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life". The Watchtower claims to be "the truth". Somebody is lying. Numerous false WT. predictions and flip flops on doctrine and policies prove they are not "the truth".
Real Christian churches don't claim to be the truth, but encourage you to have a direct relationship with Jesus who did claim to be the truth.
The WT. on the other hand points to themselves as the dispenser of "truth" rather than the "Word of God" .
No one has to prove a positive. Its up to the ones saying it to prove it.
some the truth, or facts are eternal. some are emergent, never vacillating.
wt has admitted to sail "tacking" , tacky "truth". documented false predictions. cover ups of same.
contradicting the scriptures.
The name 'Jehovah' is a 13th (1275?) century concoction of a word invented by a Spanish Catholic Monk...not to mention that God's personal name was not even mentioned in the earliest 1st century writings. The very name JWs embrace (Jehovah) is a mockery and a lie...opposite of truth!
I watched a series of lectures about jesus in the old testament. A figure that both identities itself as god and talks to god. The. angel of the lord, word of the lord, the glory of the lord .
Its pretty strange stuff and it doesn’t all fit ln a nice like package but it makes you understand what is happening in the new testament. It also makes you realize how the inserting of the word jehovah changes things and how little understanding the average jw has about how the new testament completes the old testament .
It wasn’t i found jesus moment or the bible must be true kind of thing. It was just a pure academic understanding of why the term lord is used in the new testament and seems to be applied to both god and christ.
i just couldn’t take the wts serious anymore.
Truth is founded upon Facts and Evidence that will stand ANY scrutiny .
We could spend many hours showing where J.W beliefs do not fit those criteria. It rather behoves the J.W to prove they indeed do have the " truth" than for us to prove they do not, let them put their best proofs before us, and we will show where they fail.
Watchtower claims that, in 1919, Jesus looked down from heaven, examined all religions, and found the “Bible Students” as having the truth, so he personally chose them to be his “true” congregation. Prove it!
They consider looking into such things as dangerous
A JW could get into trouble if they got caught doing it.
Archaeological and historical evidence .
Israelites in Egypt and a mass exodus ,red sea crossing.
David and Solomon no real evidence of their existence.
Jesus the micacle worker No recorded eye witness accounts , gospel account's written decades after the events.
