so i phoned an elder in the cong and asked him: "when did the calling for the great crowd start, was it 1935?
he said, "no, i think i remember a convention talk about 1950.
" so anyway, i said, "so then let's say in the 20th century right?
Apairo,
Why would I think that the WTS has the authority to interpret the bible at all.
The [Christian/Catholic] bible has been around for almost 2000 years. Why would I think some johnny come lately organization like the Watchtower Tract Society has the authority to even suggest that Jesus choose them?
I say Catholic because the bible is a Catholic book. Fact.
curious , i was thinking about serving where the need is great..that would be a hard sale, that would be like me setting up a lemonade stand at the gate of a kkk rally...
I'm guessing 'NO"
In Israel there's a lot of true history. The WTS prefers revisionist history, not the true and real history
hi guys.
sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.
just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.
Do you really think that you will not die?

Can you list any Watchtower fruit to the world?
disclaimer- Works are not fruits. ie: restoring God's true name, or going door to door are works, not fruits
has watchtower lies all the time yet they label us as liars 🤔.

Why do you go door to door with a Catholic book and why would you think that you know more about it than the Church that gave it to the world?

I know the quote has been replaced the term "Theocratic Warfare'' ,but I always thought the quote ''Lying for the TRUTH'' was the most telling quote of the WTS biblical assertion of credibility...or lack there of
we're god's reliable mouthpiece, but not prophet?
jesus inspected all faiths in 1914?.
does everyone agree or is it more convoluted than that?.
The WTS assumes alot and then teach that they are the mouthpiece of God.
How do they even know that the bible is the word of God?
we're god's reliable mouthpiece, but not prophet?
jesus inspected all faiths in 1914?.

so authority, in the case of JWs, comes from zealous and convincing assertion by its members only?

The authority to determine what the Bible including Dan. 4 means was conferred in 1919 after Christ's final temple inspection
That's not an answer about authoritatively interpreting what the scriptures say. Why would someone accept the WTS take on biblical interpretation. With some 40k different forms of Christianity, how do they convince people that they have that authority is my question I guess.
