    But how many of the 6 million BELIEVE they are right / wrong ?

    It works even better when they phrase it slightly differently. This conversation actually happened to me.

    Friend: So, you're saying that six million people are all deceived?

    Me: You're saying that six billion people are deceived.

    Friend: (Silence)

    There's really no intelligent way to answer this one, so any JW who walks into it will not be escaping with pride intact. Might even be an opportunity to do some thinking.

    Hmmm - but THEN I've heard THIS a few times:-

    Matthew 7v14, ''...narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.''

    Midwich makes a great point. How many of those are really believers? I'm counted in the 6 mill, and many more on this board. Would not suprise me at to learn that maybe half of those 6 mill believe they're wrong or at least have some doubts.

    Six million is a pip-squeak organization. And they're very wrong. A destroyer of families.

    Since most JWs only do research in WTS publications, they think the Society is super intellectual and up to date on the latest biblical thinking. They'll even tell you that you don't need to look at other sources because the society covers all of it in their articles.

    So here you have someone who has only reviewed their own information, information that is biased toward the belief system in place, and the articles are written with artful doublespeak. The reader doesn't stand a chance. They truly believe they have an answer for everything and if you don't GET it, then you are fooled by Satan or hard-headed.

    A good comeback would be: only the governing body counts, everyone else is just a parrot. - maybe that's not nice.

    Matthew 7v14, ''...narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.''

    And I've often been told the 'light getting brighter' theory to accompany that.

    But as we all know, they are wrong. How can a person be expected to trust them and their lies when their light isn't getting brighter because it's constantly dim and flickering!
