"Jehovah ALWAYS had/used an organization". How would you reply?
by EdenOne inin a recent meeting with elders, an argument was used to the effect that jehovah has always [= throughout history] used, or operated through, an organization; therefore, the wts must be that organization today, since god must be using one.
naturally, i know what arguments i've used to counter that argument.
but i'm interested in hearing yours.

I'd ask them to name them , if they are so convinced that there was an uninterupted line of faithful christians from the 1st century to the time of Russel , and that God has always had an earthly channel then simply name them, 99.9% of JW's wont be able to, if they cant name them then there cant have ever been a "channel" on Earth for over 2000 years and then there cant be one now.

just watched it for the first time as I was avoiding it for obvious reasons, really well made shame she could'nt go the whole way with her mum and brother in exposing the false doctrine a lot more, like what were the "books" her brother had been reading etc? but the shunning , JC's etc were well made, wondering how they reconstructed the DC ? .The scene when she secretly spoke to her younger brother about "judgment day" being a lie and the final prayer to Jerkobah on the train were quite emotional!

JW CHILDREN GET PRESENTS ALL THROUGH THE YEAR. REALLY?????
by NAVYTOWN inis it really true that jw children get gifts 'all through the year', not just for christmas and birthdays like non- jw kids?
as stingy as most jws are, i find that very hard to believe.
plus the childhood magic of christmas and birthdays is totally absent in jw households.

that was the major problem about it all , the shame and embaressment ecouraged you to lie to your friends and what presents you did get over Xmas, it was only after major nagging to our parents that they made their wedding anniversary a present giving time but this was when we were in our teens, our parents were poor, my father worked but my mum was fundamentally lazy she did the odd part time shop work and never pioneered. The sad thing we used to see was a fairly wealthy family in our cong who had their "unofficial" Xmas on the 26th December there kids also got birthday presents as well, even all the years of being out of the cancer I've never developed any enthusism for Xmas and Birthdays.

I had various resons so ticked the "other reasons" box, the main gripe for me were the countless failed prophecies and the destruction of billions at the GT ,

wow , massive roll call of ex elders posting here, and just think of the hundreds that faded away from this forum since its inception , I was close to becoming an MS than found out TTATT, the BOE in our cong liked to fast track brothers who were "reaching out" it came at the right time for me.
