The only fact is that the conclusion you allude to based on interpretation of the evidence.
Again, I ask, based on what sources do you conclude that? What work(s) have you studied/read?
Still, no answers to my questions...

7220 Things I Don't Understand about Jehovah's Witnesses
by Vanderhoven7 ini don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.
that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.
unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

That is an interpretation. JW believe different.
No interpretation here, facts! Again, what have you read on the issue?
Not question but rhetoric. JW disagree with your view.
No, those were questions for you too answer, not rhetorical questions! That only shows that you're not open for discussing the matter.
And...
Yes, JW have made a great work. But, so have all car manufacturers who sell cars everywhere! You're not going to say that JW saved the Bible or that those peoples didn't have it, are you?!
They have been successful at distorting the biblical message, at spreading their ideas, which are not based on the Bible, and on taking suffering into other people's homes, not Jesus's freedom and hope!

Because that ain’t wrong
What have you read to support your statement?! There are more than 5000 archaeological documents that prove that date wrong!!!
What about my other questions?

And they corrected it.
Like they corrected the child abuse situations? The wrong date of 1914 in connection with the wrong date of the destruction of Jerusalem? Are you saying that God doesn't know what He wants to say when he tells His people what to say in His name? Did God and Jesus tell us to worry about dates? Did they tell us to focus on preaching and not care for for elderly, the weak, the poor, the ill...? Did they tell us that the most important thing is a piece of paper with a bunch of hours per month?! That's how we assess spirituality... Can God lie, like the WT does all the time?! Did Jesus tell us to be arrogant and presumptuous like the WT/GB are?

That is right. JW are fulfilling Bible prophecy.
Yes, they are, they are the false prophet!

Resuming door to door September 1st
by Mikejw ingb worried about not enough coming to in person meetings.
what are they going to be like when they realise not only jdubs don’t want to go to in person meetings but they really don’t want to go back on the min.
zoom has so much more appeal for rather than meetings or door to door.

Family division
by joao inthe worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of wt is not the shunning.

Hi everybody!
The situation with my wife is calm now. I think she understood my point of view and, for now, she will remain a PIMO.
Our younger daughter is another subject... She is aware of some of the issues in the JWs and we'll go on trying to help her see the whole picture calmly.
Time will solve the problem, I hope.
