I think you're wrong.
They have never made up there own prophecies- just screw up what God's mean.
AND I think they really feel they HAVE been "chosen" as a FDS CLASS.
yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.
many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.
but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

The REAL Good News (contrasted with Churchianity's) is about the Kingdom. Christ as King- and trhe changes he will bring. Hew foretold his followers would be preaching it to the world in the last days.
We DO- but sprinkle it with (sigh) "Jesus has been ruling for 100 years"!
It's tragilarious!

Where did you get that "fact"? I disagree. Why would an organization "even MORE so" have faults and make mistakes? I would think an organization would have fewer faults and make fewer mistakes because organizations have checks and balances to prevent such, whereas individuals don't.
>> Let's say in some 'ortganization' I have 20 faults, you have 5, and another 10, etc.
The org would have a sum total of ALL the faults.
sad but true; i've yet to be at a meeting where the org/ 'fds' isn't praised....

Eden: "You can start by answering this: Who decided what books would be considered "canonical", when, and why? What were the criteria used? This should get you started."
My OPINION is that God USED the RCC to help preserve the scriptures- even tho they also helped preserve some counterfeit books. In the meantime, copies were being made in other lands, too.

First there were the ASSemblies, that became GB 'Talk' Read-fests.
Then the parroting "Benefit, benefitting, benefit, you do well to ask yourself, benefit...."
Then inviting unbelievers to the Memorial- the OPPOSITE of what Christ did.
Then door to door invitations to those dumb assemblies.
Then turning the #2 talk into a Bible reading where you can't say a PEEP to explain any of it.
Now the near-constant praise of the Self-Proclaimed "Faithful and Discreet Slave Class"!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Finkle- we JWs DO preach the real gospel, but most add the opinions.
I go to meetings (bored most the time), go out in service (LOVE it), and was once in a show-down with dishonest elders who WANTED to DF me- and was 'saved' by the C.O.!
