If "the Truth" is the truth, why are witnesses so scared of research?

    I asked this of an Elder, who said he did research on non-JW Sites, like Wiki. I thought that's a start.

    He then said that any whiff of a Site being Apostate and he was off. I said "Why ? if something is true, it doesn't matter if Satan the Devil himself told you it, it is still true, why be afraid of truth?".

    He waffled round this.

    Truth can withstand any scrutiny, it is the Lie that quickly tumbles, falls and disappears. Perhaps deep down they know their religion is a Big Lie.

    The funny thing is that many of the org's beliefs can be discredited by using their own publications.

    A truth presented by Satan himself is just as true as a truth stated by God. ~ Charles Taze Russell

    I personally had a deep, secret fear that wasn't really "The Truth".

    No way I was the only one.

    Damn, no wonder Rutherford wanted to purge virtually every Russell-ish influence from the WTS...

    ...just about everything he wrote was the opposite of the direction the Judge wanted to take the Org.

    Makes you wonder just how the f**k Rutherford ever got mixed up with the JWs in the first place.

    What makes a site Apostate?

    Something stated by an Ex JDub?

    By "False Religion?"

    By a renowned University that's "unfavorable?"

    I remember one of the last circuit assemblies I physically attended while been fully awake. The CO at the time making the comment from the stage "we know we have the truth so why would we want to go looking out side of Jehovah's organisation on the internet". I can replay this over in my head with perfect clarity because it hit me like a bus. There you have it folks.
