  Several million people can't be wrong, can they?

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw

  that was the question that i asked myself for many years when i struggled to believe the deceptive texts flowing forth from the watchtower.

  sure, this doesn't make any damn sense to me but apparently it does to six million other people.

  they can't all be wrong, can they?

  The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one…so, I suppose the answer must be "yes" several million people can be wrong.

  Also, they have nurse's, doctors, lawyers and other professionals who the WTS use at bethals around the world, how do they think those people became nurse's, doctors and lawyers without higher education????

  The worst thing is that when there is a JW who has a good position or job because he went to college (we call it University in Australia) they praise him and show him off as an example of how a ‘successful’ person can still serve Jehovah.

  I’ve seen some "brothers" who were interviewed at assemblies and conventions, and the speaker would tell the audience his high position in his company as to increase his credentials when he gave his experience.

  Double standards for sure !!!!!!!!!!

  A book as good as that deserves to be read on a paper version, i find it hard to concentrate reading a large article on a monitor screen, and if you wanna print it, when you consider the cost of the printing. you might as well buy it.

  I bought it for about AU$35 and it was the best AU$35 I've ever spent, it’s really worth it.

  Does this happen to you?

  lets say you are just happily reading a book or newspaper and on the next page the word "jehovah" will jump out at you (and i mean that it's really there but it just kinda magnifies itself).

  samething with kingdumb halls.

  you'll be in a foreign community and drive by one and it's like "oh my god, a kingdumb hall!!
