Maria, ask them any of the following "inconvenient truths", and you will quickly be asked where you got this information from. When you say "the internet", expect to be warned that your study will end if you continue reading such apostate material.
You won't have to stop the study - your conductor will. JW's will then shun you as if you were an apostate.
1) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that the "vile
things" spoken of at John 5:29
will be practiced during Christ's 1000 years reign?
bh p. 214 par. 3 - "...the judgment will not focus on what people did before they died.....individuals will be judged on the basis of what they do during Judgment Day."
uw chap. 9 p. 76 par. 12 - "They will be “judged individually according to their deeds” performed after their resurrection."
2) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that only elders are permitted to talk with disfellowshipped about the Bible?
wt 15 4/15 p. 31 - "For the sake of reminding disfellowshipped ones of how they can return
to Jehovah, elders may periodically visit those who have given some evidence of changing
their ways."
Why are J.W. friends/relatives forbidden from doing likewise?
3) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that the tribulations of Revelation 7:14 & Matthew 24:21 are one and the same?
The great tribulation of Revelation 7:14 is contextually a reference to the same great tribulation mentioned five chapters previously at Revelation 2:22. Jesus said the GT of Matthew 24 would not occur again.
4) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that the Catholic church's practice of voluntarily confessing to a priest is unscriptural?
J.W.'s are compelled to confess their sins - to three elders.
Matthew 18:15-17 says nothing about elders being involved when someone commits a serious sin.
5) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that the "two witnesses" mentioned in Revelation chapter 11 were J.F. Rutherford and his companions who got jailed and then released in 1919?
Watchtower November 15, 2014, p. 30 - Revelation 11:7 says that it is "the wild beast that ascends out of the abyss" which kills the 'two witnesses'.
Since the wild beast is claimed to be the United Nations, how could a non-existent U.N. (which originated in 1945) fulfil a prophecy 26 years earlier?
6) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that researching and examining doctrines & teachings should be forbidden?
km 9/07 p. 3 Question Box - "Does “the faithful and discreet slave” endorse independent groups of Witnesses who meet together to engage in Scriptural research...? No, it does not."
7) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that "God's laws" depend upon an individual's home address?
wt 88 4/15 p. 28, pars. 13,14 - ".....since his being disfellowshipped does not end their blood ties...... normal family affections and dealings can continue...............The situation is different if the disfellowshipped or disassociated one is a relative living outside the immediate family circle and home."
Why do disfellowshipped J.W.'s who live at home continue to have a normal family life, but if they move out of that address, their family must regard them as dead and cut them off?
8) Why does the "faithful slave" teach that foreigners were not participants of the Law Covenant?
wt 98 2/1 p.19, par. 6 - "Further, other sheep lay hold of the new covenant just as foreigners of old laid hold of the Law covenant. In what way? Not by becoming participants in it but by submitting to the laws associated with it and benefiting from its arrangements."
Deuteronomy 29:10-15 clearly rejects this teaching:
9)
Why does the "faithful slave" teach that Christians have to
witness for Jehovah?
Every scripture tells Christians to witness for Christ. Not one says for God.
