Finish the job the Jehovah's Witnesses started on you!
by Terry in
1. jw

what jehovah's witnesses get right is that the basis for christianity rests on scripture and the bible itself.. but, they only go just so far.

they stop at making you suspicious of bad things which have crept in to the bible through centuries of corruption.. the jw's unpack and deconstruct christianity j-u-s-t e-n-o-u-g-h for you to see the rats and spiders and cockroaches.

they quickly squeeze it all back together again repackaged.

What Must Be the Case if Christianity is True?

john loftus:.

what must be the case if christianity is true?.

that the highest created being, known as satan or the devil, led an angelic rebellion against an omnipotent omniscient omnibenelovent omnipresent god, and expected to win--which makes satan out to be pure evil and dumber than a box of rocks.. .

this has been a wt buzzword for a long time but has come up in several recent discussions here.

so, i just had to look it up on the wt library cd-rom.. the word "evidently" appears 1,439 times in the insight books alone.

that number is staggering considering that the two-volume set is supposed to be comprised of encyclopedic facts.

Who survives the big-A?
by Yan Bibiyan in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
i've seen experiences shared that jws have a hard time admitting that they are the only ones to survive the big-a and everyone else, including innocent infants are to be slaughtered.. that should be an easy one-two punch rebuttal, i think.. q1: is there anyone practicing false religion and worshiping a false god going to survive armageddon?.

q2: does anyone else, except the jws have the true religion?.

jw answers: no,no.. .

She whispered into her ear, "I have a demon"
by dissed in
1. jw
2. friends
some of you may have remembered me describing my wife's sister having serious mental problems.. its been a source of great discouragement to the entire family because her husband (a devout jw) has refused to get her help.

in fact, blaming it all on the demons, and we being the ones who introduced them, because of our leaving the wt.

well, to everyons surprise on friday, they came to a family dinner, this is very rare.

1. watchtower
2. bible
i am not a jw, but they often come to my door.

i listen to them, formulate questions, but they can never answer them to my satisfaction.

that's why i've never become a jw.

first off, you can look up the chemical now approved by the epa today: .

it is so deadly, you should not breathe it in, or let it get on your skin.

it causes burns, disrupts reproduction in all fish/shellfish, and possibly humans, and should never be consumed.
