Thank you all. PeteZ, Abraham stating that Sarah was his sister was a big mistake wasn't it? Even the evil king asked why he would do such an evil thing. That was my understanding of it as I read it.

19Theocratic warfare [AKA Lying for the Truth]
by TTWSYF inmy elder brother made the mistake of telling me about the wts policy of theocratic warfare.
he first called it 'lying for the truth' then he tried to tone it down to theocratic warfare.
he justifies this position by citing the scriptures that say do not throw pearls to the swine for they will trample them under foot and tear you to pieces.. my question is .

My question is
Is it considered ok to lie to rank and file JWs too?
Just asking because it seems that they will lie to their own as well as potential converts.

Do Jehovah's Witnesses really practice charity and help the needy in war ravaged areas in third-world countries?
by JWCart inthe pusher i have told a young man today that jehovah's witnesses are one of the biggest helpers with hunger reliefs and bringing solar stoves to west africa and the watchtower has donated vast resources to help ebola victims by providing hundreds of "clean up stations" plus jehovah's witnesses are sending millions of dollars in medical aid, is this true?.
are jehovah witnesses with backing from the watchtower helping eliminate illiterate children like the catholic church is doing in uganda and kenya by housing 5 to 13 year old kids and proving two meals, a roof over their head and education up to 15 years giving them a edge, so they don't end up in the sex trade, as a jw-cart the pride swelled up in my heart knowing how generous our organization is with the poor.

Be careful if you want to keep your friend. It is quite possible that your would be branded apostate. Are other family members and support people in the borg with you?

For my two cent, I agree that the world condition couldn't get any worse.
Does the astrologer have a date for the end times?
Do we need to follow him to salvation?
According to my calculations, the world ending asteroid is scheduled to hit in 5, 4, 3, 2, .....

Do Jehovah Witnesses give out mis-information deliberately?
by smiddy indo you think it is possible that the g.b.is deliberately giving out mis-information to confuse either apostates or media that might be investigating them for one reason or another ?
speak out of both corners of their mouth .
and the reason they do so ?

A look at the booklet 'Should you believe in the trinity' proves that they are either ignorant, deceitful or both.
Thought that it was quite enlightening until I researched it more.
What a disgusting and disturbing pile of crap that whole booklet is when you research the church fathers.

A quick summary of topics and issues wrong with jws
by stuckinarut2 inyou know how our minds often get all "fuzzy" and confused when we are put on the spot and asked to come up with points?
we often tend to lose focus and go off on tangents?.
im trying to compile a basic list of bullet points for the most obvious and clear problems / doctrines / history of witnesses that can blow the org out of the water.. it is more for the purpose of getting my own thoughts clear rather than using it to talk to witnesses (as that doesn't really work).

My biggie is "Lying for the Truth" Or theocratic warfare. Not because evil shouldn't be defended against, but that they lie to everyone, prospective recruits, apostates and their own.
