  Arguing with JW's

  can anyone recommend a book that point by point shuts down all of jw's beliefs?

  my dad has all of the org's lessons memorized and i need something to help me stand up for myself.

  i'm hoping the book will be recent & encompass the changes made (1914, voting, etc.).

  Thanks,

  He is a "company" man(elder,PO, etc). Now when they bring stuff up about why I haven't attended in awhile (10 yrs) I just shut down. I don't say anything. Whenever I try to defend myself he has 5 scriptures telling me why I'm wrong. I just thought if I had a few conversation stoppers for him - they would get off my back. I don't want them to view me as "apostate" - only because I want my family in my life - if only alittle!!

  Good for you!!

  I "stormed" out (ok, walked out) of the memorial one year. The elder giving the talk strayed from the usual rehearsed outline & stated that those in attendance who didn't regularly attend meetings would not be saved from Armageddon if they only attended this meeting.

  Seeya!

  to this forum at least.

  i noticed a couple others posting newbie threads so i thought i'd jump on the band wagon.. i don't have a great story or tale for you all, i just walked away.

  don't know what the elders told the rest of the herd.

  WT & Awake Subscription Procedure

  by Gopher in

  2. friends

  i moved into a new area several months ago, and my subscriptions to the watchtower and awake magazines expired.

  (note: i'm baaad, not attending meetings in my new area.).

  so it'd be easy to renew my subscription, right?
