  this explanation was taken from the reasoning book, page 204.. how do jehovahs witnesses arrive at their explanation of the bible?.

  a key factor is that the witnesses really believe that the bible is gods word and that what it contains is there for our instruction.

  jwfacts - Your expectation of how the bible should have been written in order for doctrinal lines to be drawn was based on your view of a modern organized form of learning which we presently have. Nowadays, we have textbooks being written chapter by chapter with each chapter having its own objectives and goals, that is our own modern day academic approach to learning, this shouldnt be expected of a material written thousands of years ago and compiled over a long period of time based on activities that are deemed to have future significance. Our own modern day approach of studying shouldnt be a yardstick to measure how information should be dispensed, we are far too limited to expect the bible to have been written chapter by chapter. Thats why literatures are needed to do this job for us.

  The bible has purposefully been written in order to be subjected to interpretation, such exercise give room for spiritual conversation which not only help to upbuild the conversationalists but also encourages healthy discussions and interchange of ideas of spiritual values. The WT's inconsistent interpretation shouldn't be a big deal, it is part of the organization's effort to ensure that lovers of God's word enjoy and experience a progression in their study of the bible. Ask yourself this, is science consistent?, has scientific theories remained over the years?, is there unanimity in scientific postulations?,. NO!. This is an inevitable concept of knowledge and understanding we can shy away from.

  The fact that doctrines keep changing is not enough substantial evidence to dismiss the WT's divine approval, It is part of the beauty in spiritual understanding, this beauty must rather be embraced it shouldnt be purged or castigated. only spirit creatures are dormant and stagnant, humans are not created that way. In my last conversation with Jim Pellechia (a member of the writing committee), He mentioned that spiritual lights are purposefully being designed in order to be subjected to future changes, progressive modifications and transformations . For instance, Take a look arround you, you will see different brands of tangible assets, be it cars, houses, clothes and whatever. Manufacturers dont stop at the best, the pace of innovation keep moving skyrocketly at an unimaginable rate because that is the beauty of the physical nature of human. We appreciate changes and flip-flopism even if the previous one is better and more sophisticated than the current one.

  So, lets leave the GB at peace and encourage current JWs to appreciate whatever they have and enjoy the beauty of it.

  jwfacts - If you have any rebuttal for the comments in the reasoning book, Please do provide it, I can help adjust your view on the matter. By the way, What rhetorical fallacies are there, please present your views.

  thetrueone - What evidence do you have that any of the churches were not chosen at all?. Dont lets be at haste, God will act at his own due time. All we need is patience. I have thoroughly explored scientific research for answers, but each time I look up to science, I always hit a dead-end, so the bottom line is we have to let theologians keep doing their work, I'm sure they will get there.
