wrong answer TTWSWY if you follow WT reasoning! My bro and his family were converted to JWs and baptised for some 20 years. I was not going to become a Catholic apostate. I am still a Catholic. I know, I know that's my problem.

Lying for 'The Truth'?
by TTWSYF inmy bro introduced me to a concept called 'lying for the truth'.
is that actually something that the watchtower promotes?
talk about a contridiction, i didn't think it could be true that such a practice would be tolerated, but he says so.

Yet, jws are told not to lie in court...but they can lie to other jws.
and to prospective converts too or to anyone who finds scriptual contridictions with the Watchtower promoted 'truths' it seems. If I'm wrong, please let me know. Thanks

fornacation outside of a marrige well, yes. You are entitled to enjoy your spouse. that is why Paul speaks of those who have the fire [of passion] should marry and those who can live as he did should live without a spouse to give your all to the Lord. Right?

"Do not give what is holy to dogs, neither throw your pearls before swine, that they may never trample them under their feet and turn around and rip you open." (Mt 7:6) That is why Jesus on certain occasions refrained from giving full information or direct answers to certain questions when doing so could have brought unnecessary harm. (Mt 15:1-6; 21:23-27; Joh 7:3-10)
Yes, but those 'holy pearls' are examples of truth and not of lies, are they not? Doesn't that example show that you shouldn't waste speaking the truth on dogs or pigs? I don't see how that could be showing how you should 'lie for the truth'.

How could God, who hates lies and liars, possibly charge his sole channel of communication such a thing?!

The bible states that fornacation outside of a marrige is/was and will always be wrong. There is no such command regarding blood transfusions. That is why there are no Jewish groups that forbid the practice of blood transfusions.

I'm not a JW and never have been, but my bro is and has been for 20+ years. He and his family [wife and 2 kids]. Nothing has gone right for them since being baptised as JWs. Every decision has been a train wreck from home schooling, to his business (he owned a successful business), their married life has been full of controvesy, not attending family funerals, being quite judgemental and when I finally learned enough scripture to show how he has been duped, he answered that he didn't care. He didn;t care that he's been lied to for years and that his fruits are falling to the ground and rotting. My prayer is that he will return to our family with his family and we can pray with love, hope and faith for a brighter future......I'm not holding my breath.

“This means my body which is to be given in YOUR behalf. Keep doing this in remembrance of me. Luke 22:19 .
Actually the accurate translation is 'This is the body of me' not 'This means my body'
