For those with family in the org...

2. beliefs
...have they justified the un involvement to you by saying that the wts was only getting information for their magazines, that they weren't "aiding" them in their political work, so the involvement was ok?.

imo, there is no justification for the un invovement.

how do you reason with your family when they defend the actions of the wts?

Doctrine or Scripture?
by kibizzle in
1. watchtower
2. bible
my h and i are generally good at avoiding the subject, but the other day we got into a "debate" about the "truth".

anyway, he gave a few reasons why he believes the jws have the "truth" such as the scripture that says "it is better to not have known the truth at all than have known the truth and walked away".

okay, at the time i was too upset to think rationally and say, "okay, which scripture would that be?
