Hoist by their own petard: Using w86 4/1 30, 31 for your own defence
by rory-ks inthe april 1, 1986, watchtower, questions from readers is still the basis upon which jehovah's witnesses see fit to act against so-called apostates.
it is, however, completely shot through with discrepancies and weak arguments.
all of these can be used to build a solid defence.

7. Jehovah’s Witnesses also teach that “the resurrection has already occurred” - first in 1879, then 1919.
Very good point, I hadn't thought of that before..

I love "They cultivate the fruitage of God’s spirit."
How in the world can you cultivate something you don't have? (The entire chapter of Romans 8)

@ DJ
" 6. that our own death wipes out our sins?
Romans 6:7 indicates that by our own death, we are "acquitted" of our sins."
Pure hogwash. The context of Romans 6:1-14 clearly indicates the aquittal of sins occurs when you are spritually born-again, but I doubt any JW has actually read Romans, let alone are truly born-again.
Romans 6:1-14.
"What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace."Furthermore, Jesus refutes your idea at John 5:28, 29, a favourite JW prooftext :
" Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment."
Obviously, if your sins are acquitted immediately upon your physical death, you wouldn't face a resurrection of judgement, now could you?
Yet another to disprove this false JW idea is Hebrews 9:27, 28 :
"And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him."
