Ucant, I've been a JW for over 30 years, yet am not happy with the changes I'm seeing with the WTBS, though. The Truth stands on its own- but a lot of absurd opinion is still being ADDED to it....
Simon, people use Multiple definitions for many words. The BIBLE defines Faith as ASSURED expectation based on evidence- even IF unseen. For example, if you find a cell phone in the woods, you should have no problem KNOWING it had a maker. If you SERIOUSLY study science articles, filtering out the opinions, assumptions, and errors- the picture becomes VERY clear!
Wiz- your denial is tragilarious. WE didn't make up that name. However, you are corrtect on the baloney the WTBS has ADDED to the good news. Yet Churchianity doesn't even KNOW about the good news.
Cofty- you're just WRONG. "JWs never think about themselves as witnesses of Jesus." We KNOW we are witnesses of both God AND Christ. The emphasis, like with Jesus, is on the only True God who has been HID by Churchianity.
Ucan't- I have ALWAYS taken the WTBS dates with a BARREL of salt- however, 1914 IS pinpointed in Daniel's prophecies. The meaning as to what it signifies is what's at dispute.
Thank you ALL for a Peaceful discussion- very RARE here!
