i start this thread in response to a comment by a jw apologist called simonsays on another thread.
he claimed to have read all three volumes of vindication by rutherford (my sympathy if true).
he further implied that it didn't matter that old jw literature said wrong and stupid things, saying:.
It may have been helpful to the flock when they brought out the book " Let Your Name Be Sacntified" that they had the right pronunciation of GOD`s name .
How could you sanctify his name if you don`t really know what his name is. Or vindicate it for that matter.
there is a glaring inequity between the 144,000 & the great crowd (gc):.
the gc will experience:.
1. the great tribulation - a gruelling/horrifying time which has never occurred before.. 2. armageddon.. 3. a thousand years of “loving” molding and refinement.. 4. a second armageddon at the end of the thousand years.. the 144,000 will experience none of these things.. isn't it strange that the gc has to prove themself so much but the 144,000 don't???!!!

Their are a number of scriptures that clearly show Satan and presumably the Demons as having access to both the heavens and the earth in tempting and misleading humans and the nations up until and including this century.
Just to cite a few of many more.
1Ch.21:1
Job 1:6
Zec.3:1
Mt.12:26
Mt.16:23
Mr.1:13
Lu.10:18
Lu.22:3
2Cor.11:14
1Th.2:18
That`s just a few scriptures that show quite clearly that he has had free reign over earth and heaven to actively decieve and mislead humans as he did to Eve according to the Bible
Of course the Bible could be full of contadictions ,
can't believe it - gb is currently second in the medal table, with more golds and silvers combined than even china.
given the size of the nation it's an incredible achievement and we have won in some sports where other countries typically dominate.
i can't imagine we will stay in second but i am happy to enjoy the moment.. well done to the whole of team gb!.
You guys can`t boast , look at Australia 23million compared to you guys , C`mon lets give credit where it`s due. LOL
two weeks ago while visiting a friend in north carolina, i agreed to go with him to the sunday public talk.
the public talk was about how the witnesses have the direction of angels while going in service.
the speaker told some real doozies and you could hear the "oohs and ahhs" from the audience.
Jehovah`s Witnesses follow a Bible Canon that was formulated and approved by apostate Catholic Christians of the 3rd Century and endorsed by apostate Christian Protestants of the 16/ 17 th Century
Go figure

my quick life story.. i was born into jw.
Welcome lrocz ,take it easy with your dad , and I hope everything is well also with the other members of your family , your sister ? smoking , DF , and being kicked out of her home ?
Take care.
over the years here on this site i have found over half of the folks can hold their own with any minister.. why when we leave the borg we become proficient on any subject on the bible.. why did we go down that road?
my intention was to get close to jehovah (searching the bible), but i. guess i found lucifer.
i'am ask all the time, how did you go from a true believer to calling the bible a book.
I couldn`t agree more with the above posts. to come to the realisation you have been hoodwinked / decieved , by the WTB&TS , then you want to know how you could have been so duped , and then you investigate much more fully the source of your belief , the Bible .
And you realise the whole thing is a load of CROCK / BS .
And you wonder shaking your head how you could have ever believed it in the first place.
