yk-
i see youve ignored the comments i and others have made about your obviously faulty logic. heres some more:
And, apparently the answer for some of you is yes. So, my next question is, if you were that stupid then, what makes you trust your own judgment on matters now?
again, this can be said of anyone leaving any religion. if the ex-amish man who joins the jws was THAT stupid to believe wholeheartedly that the amish had the one and only true religion....why should he trust his own judgement on matters now? dont you see this type of logic doesnt work as any sort of "proof" or even argument that the jws have the "truth"? your questions are entirely pointless and have no bearing on the discussion at hand.
I don't think I dodged the question. I posed the question,
i realize youve already responded to what im about to say, but i think its worth repeating despite your little "jesus" example. answering a question with a question IS dodging, no matter how you cut it or justify it. you do this often, and regardless of the supposed reasons you give, such as following your "master", the bottom line is obvious: there are many questions posed to you that you simply cannot answer intelligently, period.
Again, I would bring the issue back to those who were in the truth for many years. Were you so completely blinded? Did you never have any personal connection to Jehovah God the whole time you were one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Many of you spent years preaching and convincing others that we had the truth. Yet, now you say there is no evidence? That is preposterous.
again, garbage logic. ive spent hours being preached to (when i used to work in a factory) by amish men who were convinced they had "the truth". they claimed to have very personal relationships with god the whole time they were amish. ive known amish men (an example ive already used) who have then fallen away and become "apostates" to current amish. were they so completely blinded? now they say there is no evidence that the amish have the one true religion? that is preposterous, isnt it?
You similarly have been brought under the evil influence of the cult of Ray Franz,
you have no more reasonable basis for this statement then we have when we say that you are under the evil influence of the cult of the judge (or russell, more appropriately). in actuality we have much more of a basis for this argument, as the wt has proven itself to be a false prophet.
Well, that's why the Society would rather you not know about those things.
its painful to watch someone contradict his own statements as often as you do. on one had you stated that someone who didnt know the history of the organization must certainly be "the most pathetically mentally challenged individual", and in the very next breath you admit that someone who didnt know the history of the organization was indeed intentionally kept in the dark by the society. as painful as it is sometimes to watch you display your ignorance/deceit (you choose), at least is serves a purpose: even your "target audience" and the lurkers can surely see your obvious contradictions and faulty logic.
