You, Tuesday, can be living proof, as can I.
Your actions can only prove/disprove your belief in what you say you will do. Nothing more.
But then again, logic has never been a friend to JWs.
minimus started a thread asking people to prove that jws don't have the truth.... but, instead of proving they don't, i'd like to see someone prove that the witnesses do have the truth.. this is your thread jw apologists....convince me why you have the truth.. to all you apostates and nay-sayers, please allow the apologists to have their say without harrassing them.

It is very very plausible though. I have known someone like this particular psycho. Someone who did not really listen.
According to SixofNine, it is impossible that you know someone like that, since they simply do not exist. And according to freddo, you are very gullible to believe it in the first place.
Might I also add that you are at risk of being labelled a chauvinist for believing such tripe, and anything you say in your defense will be used against you in a court of false outrage.
there is a subtle change taking place especially in us society - and i think that the new "angie's list" phenomena is one of the best examples.
we all have a desperate need for information we can rely on -while we are being bombarded with claims and advertising.
what is happening, by default, is that "word of mouth" testimony about goods and services is becoming dominant.
The implication in your argument, of course, is that people choose their religion the same way they choose which bicycle or TV to buy.
I'd say that people are, in general, being more consumer-savvy with more important matters like religion, but that most people still do not make those choices in a purely cerebral fashion.
try this - i almost wonder if this is not an offshoot:.

YEHOWAH will eliminate Satan and satanists and make the new Earth millions times as big without oceans and seas and populate it with HIS Yehowists for 280000 years afterwards.
Wow.

Of course a person needs to save alot of gas to pay for a small $40,000 vehicle.
But some people are stupid. Actually, a lot of people are stupid. There is also the "ecologically righteous" factor, where the liberal well-heeled buy what they think is socially acceptable. That's why Prius's were essentially sold-out before they even hit the lots. Economically, they are a waste of money... but perhaps just as much a waste of money as your typical Yukon or Escalade or Silverado.
ouch!
my tongue is bleeding from biting it so hard.. jw: "i don't need to question anything.
i have faith jehovah is guiding and arranging his organization and giving us the proper food in due season through his faithful and discreet slave.
Fact is, accepting everything unquestionably in un-Christian and un-Biblical.
every year i think about this and i believe every year the percent goes up but it is hard to know what the number is because any doubting jw lives in fear of being found out.
they know how their lives would be permanently changed if they openly stated that they just couldn't believe it anymore.
i think there could be kingdom halls were 50% of the people attending don't believe they have the truth but think they are the only one that feels that way because every other doubter is doing the same thing they are doing.
Doubt always prevails in the end. I'ts one of the laws of the universe, just like the void of space.

Depends how much you drive.
i've known known a lot of bethelites and it never ceased to amaze me when asked why they wanted to go there the kind of answers i got.
some included:.
my mom used to have dinner ready for me every night when when i was pioneering before i got married.
All the queer elders we had were ex-bethelites. If they were married (bearded), their wives clearly knew it and looked away. Maybe the ones that go like 2 years and get out aren't, but "lifers?"
How old are you? 13, 14?
could be 8,000 or 18,000 years long......if to jehovah each "a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years a day.
" 1975 armagedon theory was based on this.
{notice how this theory has since died off} my wife was told off by an elder for giving a talk on "creative days not 24 hours" but not stating each was 6,000 years long...she said she didn't believe it....he backed off and said okay then!
I'm still waiting for Spike and Reniaa to come and drop some pearls before us and explain all this hullabaloo.
