Yes, tell them that if you had been given nothing but counterfeit your whole life, then when the real thing came around, you would reject it. The only way to know for sure then would be to be shown from the feds what was real -- so you got your truth (money) from Jesus (feds) ... Also, I was also a bank teller and to learn how to detect counterfeit, we would study counterfeit money as well as the characteristics of the real stuff. Also talk about the Boreans in scripture who constantly made sure that what Paul was teaching was so. They were commended for that and we too should examine to make sure that what they say is true. There is also a quote from I think the truth book that says that its ok to examine to make sure you are being taught the truth. The truth can defend itsself. If what they are teaching is true, it can stand under criticism.

Did anyone get the old "counterfeit money" illustration?
by themonster123 ina couple of my old witness girlfriends came over last night (note-i only recently left the org.
like 2 months ago, so people are still trying to get me to come back and "reason" with me)...and they used that stupid "counterfeit money" illustration.
i swear, every time i tell people i don't think it's the truth, they put that old illustration on me!

A Christian is one who trusts in Jesus Christ alone for salvation.
JWs believe you have to be part of their organization and do the works they see necessary. The organization is their God because they listen to what she says and not the Bible. They trust in the organization and themselves to receive salvation -- not Jesus Christ.

However, I've never seen that praying for someone other than a person's own self does much of anything directly.
I believe in God and the power of prayer yet I would have to agree with this.
The way I see it, God is going to do "his will" no matter what I ask him to do. I do thank God for my friends though.

Ex-Witness English tutor encounters a current Witness tutee...
by Rosie Angel ini've been tutoring this nice esl lady named patrice for awhile now.
i knew she was a witness, since i saw her studying out of the revelation book, so i kept my guard up around her.
somehow, though, i recognized an uncited passage from the nwt ecclesiastes in a paper, and i mentioned that she really needed to cite passages from the bible, just like any other book, so she used the odd witness citation.

Why is this such a huge deal to you willie? I know people who believe in the conspiracy theory but they don't spend as much time worried about it. What makes it a big deal to you?
(My position is that I'm not educated enough to decide either way)
