  - venus may be an enormous jurassic park.. - germs don't cause disease.. - no beards allowed.

  @RULES

  "It’s fascinating to see how JWs perform mental gymnastics right here in front of us and think it’s truth!

  The fact is that women are treated shabbily in JWism and yet many JW women argue they’re not, such is their devotion to their emotional investment in JWorg.

  The fact is that JWs are not free to disagree with ANYTHING JWorg teaches even though they claim they are. This can be easily verified by asking any JW to provide details of anything JWorg has taught incorrectly… they just can’t do it!

  Samuel Herd spoke on women small brains and JWs here either try to argue that his words weren’t in context, weren’t really Samuel Herd or maybe were recounted later…. even though no evidence at all exists. It’s only slightly not as bad as Anthony Morris claiming gay men designed hot pants to fulfill their sexual desires! (need a link?)

  Frankly, JWs live in this delusional world that makes them believe white is black, bible words don’t mean what they say, you can’t read the bible without JWorg, women are honoured and treated well, shunning is loving, JWism is the only way, God’s name is Jehovah, etc." David Chord

  The claim that their trust is not in men.

  Couple that with the claim that they have no leaders...only brothers who take the lead.

  The "Watchtower 2022 Feb p.4 States ---The plain truth is that we cannot say that we trust in Jehovah if we do not trust in his earthly representatives - those whom Jehovah trusts. Today Jehovah leads the earthly part of his organization by means of "the faithful and discreet slave.""

  The Watchtower July.15, 2011 p.3 par 2 States---- It is very important that everyone understands the information that we study in The Watchtower each week. This is because the Watchtower Study is the main way that “the faithful and discreet slave” teaches God’s people today. (Matthew 24:45)

  @Rattigan

  "1914 and the tree and 607 is not wacky because that did not originate with JWs, not even Russell. That was before Barbour."

  The point is not who originated 1914. The point is that the WTS has taught and still teaches this wackiness.

  But out of curiosity, could you document who before Russell taught 1914.

  I remember Russell saying something about the shape of a man's head determines intelligence.
