    It was brought out at recent meeting that we must stay close to "Jehovah's Organization" and follow closely the "admonitions" found in the Watchtower magazine because we know that the information found in the Watchtower is given directly to us by Jehovah himself.

    Question for the believing Witness?:

    1) If by your own teaching's You believe that Jehovah is a God of truth and cannot EVER tell non -truths, how do you explain why the Watchtower has changed it's "Understanding" of scriptures so many times? According to the Watchtower, God NEVER changes His mind, and is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Please explain.

    2) Was the Watchtower always written by Jehovah? If not, when did He start writing it?, and if He always has been writing it, why can't He make up His mind on the sheep and the goats, or the Generation issue?

    3) If you say that the Watchtower is written by imperfect men under "God's direction" why do you say it is written by Jehovah "Himself"? And yes You DO SAY THAT. (an Elder recently told me that the Gov. Body merely transcribes to paper what the Holy Spirit is directing them to write).

    4) Are you freaking nuts? No need to answer that.

    I asked my jw. husband that samething, his reply was,(jehovah will tellus what we need to know at the proper time and yes we are humans and do make mistakes.I asked him how come people who are not annointed or in the trut are considered mentally insane when they hear voices or have god like dreams? Well ,what was i thinking they are not with the true b.s. religion so they must be nuts.

    Some very good questions to ask, but not likely to be answered.

    Those are great questions. I still go to meetings and if I would ask any of those questions the apostasy antenna would go up.

    The elder must not have met the GB in person. I met one in particular up close and personal, and I can say without uncertainty he was an asshole and must have left the holy spirit in New York because it wasn't with him when he showed up at my house.

    I guess the question is

    If the Watchtower is not Inspired by god, then how is it speaking for god. And if it is speaking FOR god, and not inspired by god, wouldn't they just be putting words in gods mouth? Words that god did not say.

    Sadly, a typical JW would easily answer your questions. Somehow, they always manage to dig their way out of trouble. Well trained, I'd say

    1) If by your own teaching's You believe that Jehovah is a God of truth and cannot EVER tell non -truths, how do you explain why the Watchtower has changed it's "Understanding" of scriptures so many times? According to the Watchtower, God NEVER changes His mind, and is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Please explain.

    Jehovah God never lies, he cannot lie ( quote scripture ) . However, you cannot blame God for the mistakes his Organization makes ! He is only using imperfect men to get his message across ! He is using the best source he can. Just as Jesus used the Apostles, put THEY got things wrong ! Likewise, Jehovah is using the Faithful and Discreet Slave, although they are not perfect, they are still doing the best they can. Besides, who else is making God's name known, like he asked ?!?! And who else preaches this good news like Jehovah's Witnesses ?!? Just admit it, Jehovah is using the Faithful and Discreet Slave.

    2) Was the Watchtower always written by Jehovah? If not, when did He start writing it?, and if He always has been writing it, why can't He make up His mind on the sheep and the goats, or the Generation issue?

    Again, God is using imperfect men to write his truths. This is why the bible tells us that 'the light gets brighter' ( Quote Prov 4:8 ) Jehovah is the editor of the Watchtower because when the time is right he makes known his truths to the men that write the Watchtower. But these men are imperfect ! They cannot understand everything straight the way ! Jehovah doesn't change his mind, its just that imperfect men cannot grasp these truths !

    3) If you say that the Watchtower is written by imperfect men under "God's direction" why do you say it is written by Jehovah "Himself"? And yes You DO SAY THAT. (an Elder recently told me that the Gov. Body merely transcribes to paper what the Holy Spirit is directing them to write).

    Ok, no need to get into that tone. We are merely preaching the good news to you, if you want to hear it. As we mentioned before, all truths ultimately come from Jehovah, our creator. Watchtower writers can not and do not claim that the truths outlined in the Watchtower are their truths ! No, they are Jehovah God's truths. Hence, the Watchtower IS written by Jehovah God.

    4) Are you freaking nuts? No need to answer that

    This is why I can't stand Witness mentality. Obnoxiously, they think they have all the answers. Just like politicians, they can swindle their way out of anything. Even writing those answers, somewhere I find myself almost agreeing with what they say, the doctrine has been so far placed in me. Thankfully, I can see through that, and all their lies and deceptions.

    Remember, a good liar can weave a web as complex as DNA yet never get caught.

    If god is using imperfect men to pen his thoughts, Then why is there not a bunch of different versions of the bible? Some with an incorrect message, and some with the correct message. Did the bible writers have some majikal power.

    My question for a JW would be:

    If the WT is not the word of God why do you disfellowship people who disagree with it?
