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.
