i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.

maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.

if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

by Terry in

2. beliefs
1.we use a name to distinguish one entity from another to avoid confusion.. 2.if there is only one of something it is one of a kind.

elivis is elvis and those who pretend to be him are impersonators.

those who pretend to be jesus are false or pseudo-christs.

charles taze russell: his life and times: the man, the millennium and the message by fredrick zydek is the latest biography on pastor russell, and i must say i am very impressed.

i have read other historiees on the pastor russell by zydek (all unpublished manuscripts) but this one is far better than the last one authored by charles redeker aq few years ago.

zydek is a catholic.. the author is neither a bible student or a jehovah's witness.

Coptic John 1:1 makes it into the Watchtower.
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
wt november 1st has a two page article on how the early sahidic coptic version of the new testament translated god with an indefinite article in john 1:1 and argues this supports the new world translation's rendering "and the word was a god".

online witness apologists have been using this piece of evidence in support of the nwt for a few years now.

in particular solomon landers promoted the coptic version of john 1:1 in discussions with evangelicals and other who oppose witness theology.
