What was the biggest thing that convinced you that

by Ponyo in

.....the truth was not the truth... ?

.

TTWSYF

While my brother was trying to recruit me he spoke those very telling words to me

'We call that lying for the Truth' [later turned down to 'Theocratic Warfare'....same thing]

The obviousness of the statement held in the air and I wondered if he was kidding or if this was HIS watershed moment.

It wasn't for him, but it was for me. After that, reading the 'Should you believe in the Trinity' booklet which was so poorly researched and filled with errors had convinced me that the WTS is not only promoting it's members dishonesty, but publishes lies too.

Lastly, the fact that there are no fruits what so ever has made the WTS worthy of ridicule.

The lure of reading the wt is equivalent to a college education came about

by MTSman in

jw
friends

i've been out for, god, six years now.

it only seems like yesterday when i was before three a-holes pleading for my life.

relecting back, i've come to realize having the ax fall on me was the best thing.

Manifestly, a regular habit of reading the Watchtower and Awake is the precise equivalent of getting a college education. How could anyone doubt it?

Accordingly, a regular habit of reading Superman, Thor and Batman is the precise equivalent of getting a college education. The difference is that the latter could find employment and use his or her 'equivalency degree' in a comic book store where as the 'equivalency degree'on Watchtower and Awake material would only serve in the WTS. No one else would consider the revisionist education as legitimate....sorry guys...

JW Stumper Questions - List You Best Here

by pale.emperor in

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.

When God said "Do not add" to scripture (various places) did He know that Jehovah's Witnesses would have to disobey that instruction in order to add words to change the meaning to the bible?

Referring to the added 'other's in several places [in Colossians 2:9 and others,] to make it seem as the bible states Jesus was created

That's the only reason that you called?

Only 144,000 saved in 2000 years?

by LevelThePlayingField in

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.
