So, the foundation is to believe what the Governing Body says but WINK WINK-----no one REALLY believes what they say anyway. But we can't talk about it because if we do, we won't be a Jehovah's Witness any longer, and we certainly wouldn't that to happen, now, would we???
What Is The Foundation Of Faith Belonging To a Jehovah's Witness?

OK, are you talking about the foundation of doctrine coming from the WTS, or the foundation of faith of an individual JW? Reading the topic heading, it sounds like an individual. If the WTS wants the individual JWs to buy off on the infallibility of the GB, and the individuals largely do not (as AlanF states), then why are they JW's? What do they have faith in, and why?

I'm referring mostly to the person's conviction, their faith. A JW's faith is surely based upon the doctines of the religion. Witnesses are like any other religion. Some stay in just because.

My husband calls it "second hand faith"...............not learned or experienced first hand.

Big Red is RIGHT! That's why witnesses do not have "accurate knowledge"-----knowledge based upon experience.
