Beware of the Strawman argument!
by Farkel inyears ago before i took the time and effort to study logic and argumentation, i went to a market and bought some toothpaste.
it was a little-known brand and it touted "baking soda" as its magic ingredient.
it was also cheaper than the name-brand toothpastes and that helped me in my decision.

debator:
"God's channel" or "accusations of being a cult" or some hearsay example of some person among other common place examples I see on here. None of which are teachings you actually check against the Bible basically as my original point says
Lol again. So the Society's brazen claim to be "God's channel" is not a "teaching you actually check against the bible"?? Enlighten us then, what is their claim based on?

debator,
Lol. Go ahead and forget about the straw man fallacy (you clearly have no idea what it is anyway) and focus on your own false premise:
If you test what the Witnesses teach against the bible they are shown to be more accurate than any other Christian faith atm.

The point of a straw man argument is to present a phony (and easier to refute) picture of an opposing argument. This fake copy of the opposing argument is then refuted, creating the illusion that the actual opposing argument has been refuted.
The WT$ frequently resorts to straw man tactics when arguing against the Trinity doctrine. A couple examples:
If he is one Jehovah, then could he be three gods, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, as the Trinitarians teach? --WT, 4/1/1970,p.210.
This is a misrepresentation of the Trinity doctrine, which actually teaches "Jehovah" is ONE God, not "three gods". By misrepresenting the Trinity as being "three gods", the WT$ can then point to verses that teach there is only one God, and create the illusion that they have debunked the Trinity doctrine.
At Zechariah 11:12,13 (AS) Jehovah speaks of "thirty pieces of silver" as "the goodly price that I [Jehovah] was prized at by them." At Matthew 27:9,10 the prophecy is applied to the price Judas received for betraying Jesus. Does this indicate thatJehovah and Jesus are the same person, as taught by trinitarians? --WT, 4/1/1959,p.224.
Again, a misrepresentation of the actual doctrine. The Trinity doctrine does not hold "Jehovah" and Jesus to be the same person. After erecting their straw man, the WT$ will point to verses that contradict their straw man trinity doctrine, thereby creating the illusion that they've refuted the actual doctrine.

Your buzz word is retarded, MadJW. Churchianity is a meaningless mumbo jumbo word.
That's because madjw likes meaningless, mumbo jumbo words.... like "Jehovah".

According to the WT Study this past Sunday, questioning the Slave is equivalent to questioning God & Jesus.
by miseryloveselders ini didn't see if blondie did a wt review or not, but i wondered if anybody else caught this?
paragraph 15.. .
sadly, though, some have become casual or even cynical about reminders concerning the need to stay awake.

The "Holy Trinity" of the WT$: "Jehovah", Jesus, and the "Faithful and Discreet Slave"™.....
Did anyone also notice the WT$ didn't provide a single scripture to support their claim that questioning the "Faithful Slave class" is the equivalent of questioning "Jehovah and his Son" ?
Sadly, though, some have become casual or even cynical about reminders concerning the need to stay awake. ‘We have heard that same reminder for decades,’ they may say. However, those individuals should keep in mind that by making such remarks, they are actually questioning Jehovah and his Son, not just the faithful slave class.
On what basis do they make such a bold (brazen?) statement? The parable of the faithful servant comprises a couple verses in two gospels and nothing there suggests that questioning said servant would in fact be questioning GOD.
In fact, a "servant" putting himself above his fellow servants and making the CLAIM TO SPEAK FOR GOD, telling his fellow servants that "IF YOU QUESTION ME, YOU ARE QUESTIONING GOD", sounds a lot more like the EVIL SLAVE in the parable than the good and faithful servant.

Tame animals in the New System
by brotherdan inso i was thinking about this whole idea of animals being tame and getting along with each other and how the wts depicts this in their artwork.
i'm having a major issue with this.
how far down the food chain would this go?

You simply cannot have, for example, great white sharks eating straw.
Of course not! They'll eat algae, not straw!
No doubt the Great White's big, razor sharp teeth will prove to be ideal for ripping apart the flesh, uh, of the algae... and, um... killing it... quickly and, er, efficiently...

I think that some ex-JW websites are taking this and running with it without any verification, which just looks bad for the ex-JWs in my view.
The only reference I saw to his being a jw was a direct quote attributed to his brother.
his personal website contains many lines about how religion is the root of all evil, evolution must be taught, mankind should be permanently wiped out, etc.
Two out of three are also taught by the WT$...
