i find it interesting that the chickens have come home to roost for wts.. just as they have allowed no dignified way to exit the org, without disgrace, there seems to be no way for them to gracefully apologize for past (errors???).

just think of the recent mass exodus of faithful that has come about with each major doctrine change.

so many have been ruined by devoting their lives to the gb, that even if there was a sincere effort to correct things, i believe that the vast majority of the current membership would just revolt.. it's just a matter of time before the entire house of cards comes tumbling down.. so, whaddya think?.

Maybe the GB don't have to die out. Since, the WTS does not publish a 'who's who' of the anointed, they could just claim that all the new anointed guys & gals are replacements for the growning number of apostates.

I was referring to the large numbers that left after the recent new light on the 'generation' definition.

Excellent WT logic

by ljwtiamb in

i just love the logic that was applied in last week's wt study, paragraph 3:only a god of infinite wisdom could be responsible for the miraculous formation of a new living human.

for thousands of years, reasoning people have credited the formation of a child inside its mother's womb to the grand creator.

who am i to go against thousands of years of reasoning people?

Who am I to go against thousands of years of reasoning people? Forget who they are, I don't want to be left out, like some inexperienced unreasoning animal, so:

Of course I agree with your statement!

Is this what they mean by reasoning from the scriptures?
