How should I respond to a JW friend? (Australia)
by summerinvincible insorry if this isn't the right place to post this - brand new member here.. i recently caught up with an old friend who is a jw.
she's been witnessing to me, and i've accepted all her handouts because i don't want to hurt her feelings.
but now she's asking me for my "thoughts" about what i've read so far.

Hi Black Sheep,
I have received some printouts from my friend in answer to the 607 BC issue
I think they are just printouts from the Proclaimers book -
the references are:
w11 10/1 pp.26-31 When was ancient Jerusalem destroyed? - Part One
w11 11/1 pp.22-28 When was ancient Jersusalem destroyed? - Part Two
Hope you have a copy of these - if not I will scan them for you.
I will also send a PM and email.

Hi Chris (Black Sheep)
I have sent you a PM.
I just received a 5 page printed reply from my friend, telling me why getting things wrong is perfectly fine, and that the Catholic Church has bad fruit, but not the JWs.
She also sent a copy of The Watchtower magazine February 1, 2012: "Armageddon - What is it? When will it come?' On page 25, it mentions Harold Camping and how he got it wrong :)
Feel free to email me if you prefer. Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks again!

Hi everyone
Chris - I sent you a PM just in case you don't read this here.
Just wanted to let you know that I recently sent a letter to my friend with all the info you gave me
(edited to sound more like me)... It has been a hectic few months so unfortunately it took me that long to get around to it.Will let you all know if/when I receive a response.

Thanks. Will try the Proclaimers PDF again.
Oh I'll definitely proof read what you write - won't just cut and paste. I'll change it so it sounds like how I naturally speak. Only if you have time of course!! Otherwise I'll give it my best shot! :)
I have a Living Bible around somewhere - I'll just quote from that.

Arghhh I tried to quote "If you have trouble putting all that together into an email for her, let me know" but I obviously clicked the wrong thing!
How do I quote??
And does this site ever stop asking for a validation code when you log in?

Also, is there really anything in the Proclaimers book about "how they came to the date of 1914, after further research"? I don't have the book...
I assume the Bible references you quoted are from the New World Translation?
If you have trouble putting all that together into an email for her, let me know
That would be wonderful! I tend to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, and have no idea where to start. If you put it together for me, then at least it would give me somewhere to start - and I can edit it to suit.
Thank you Black Sheep! Will wait to see what you think about Matt 24:11
Ziddina - thanks, will check out that thread.
