i know many jws that state that the watchtower corporation is the 'closest to the truth'.
thus they quiet their cognitive dissonance.. i don't have access to a corporation library any more.
is this a stance that the watchtower corporation has actually claimed?.
I've been in for about 20 years and never read the term,"Nearest" to the truth. I've always remembered them referring to themselves as "the truth."
I think many people when coming out of the org think that the wts IS in fact the "Nearest" to the truth when in fact it is the farthest for sure.
but still, they ask for more at every opportunity.
send in that ice cream money kids!.

i have been reading the watchtower study edition of march 2016. here some deceptive statements so as to justify their new lights:.
when were gods people held captive by babylon the great?.
that spiritual captivity lasted from the second century c.e.
Is there ever any end to their pointless B.S.?
My feelings exactly. Who really gives a crap about this useless nonsense? I mean what does it really matter if Jesus saw all the kingdoms or if Satan took him out to lunch beforehand? It's just a fable anyways so how does this affect anyone today?
so i'm reading the book "the atheist book of bible stories" and something just occurred to me.. noahs ark rested on the top of mount ararat.
how the hell did all the land animals, dinosaurs and other monsters get to ground level?
did noah and his family just push them off the mountain and hope for the best?
The book mentions a good point as well. Why were the Angels that had the hots for earth chicks allowed back in heaven after they screwed things up on earth in the first place?
Why did they even have the hots for earth chicks? Weren't they neither male nor female? Did God give them a sex drive??

I have the perfect answer. God miraculously recreated the animals in places such as
South America and Australia. We know how God love to create and destroy.
Seeing as the almighty loves killin stuff you would think he would have a blast making and destroying the innocent animals in all kinds of fun ways. Earthquakes, fireballs, sword wielding Super Angels... Endless entertainment!!

I can see Noah saying it now, "GTFO!!!"

Revelation 18:4
Then I heard another voice from heaven say: "'Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues;
most religions indoctrinate a standard sexual 'morality' into their followers.
sex before marriage is wrong, gay sex is wrong, same sex marriage is wrong, masturbation is wrong.. let's not turn this into another religion bashing thread (too easy), i was wondering how much of that pre-packaged thinking you still hold to?.
i still value marriage, more than ever.
but what about compatibility? It can be a shock to realise she doesn't actually wantyou to wear your Batman outfit!
Right thats where things get a bit scary. My biggest fear was if she was deformed "down there" or had a penis or something. Guess faith plays a part in that... I didn't ask if she has a dingaling for fear it would start an argument.
It did take quite some time to figure out what we both like. Still today we try different stuff for fun. Guess most people are like that though.
