  during co visit, i took him for a bible study i was conducting.

  during the session, the householder said he believed satan was not a person, but personification of evil within us.

  i left co to handle householder’s doubt.

  steve2,

  That's what exactly made me angry within myself. CO's behaviour shows how much the fear factor rules the JW org--something that cannot be the characteristics of organization of God, who is a fountain of joy.

  The real reason so many witnesses end up here....

  why do so many witnesses end up coming to forums like this?.

  no doubt it is because of the fact that the society disallows any form of sincere questioning of teachings or doctrines or history etc.... if there was open discussion allowed - free of repercussions and punishment, then no one would feel stifled.

  if genuine concerns could be raised, then no one would feel smothered or unable to share thoughts... then in turn many would not leave.... but due to the high control, authoritarian culture the society has created, many feel trapped, and end up searching outside of official channels...and leaving the society.....

  Yet they describe themselves as "Motherly organization," "spirit-guided organization" and publish article such as "Jehovah is God of reasonableness",

  shows they do not know what they themselves are saying

  stuckinarut2,

  It is same as "straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!" (Mathew 23:24) Doubting even a verse of the Bible means they immediately perceive a threat to their very existence.

  sohatnow,

  No loving father will let a mad dog to wander even in the vicinity of his house. Similarly, God will not let a wicked Satan to roam “intent on swallowing His children.”

  Crazy Angel,

  That's an interesting irony which I did not notice. Nice thought--I became a pawn of Satan who never existed!

  however, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond what we declared to you as good news, let him be accursed.

  9 as we have said above, i also now say again, whoever it is that is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him be accursed.. guess what?

  wtbts is accursed.. they go beyond.

  through their God-dishonoring teaching of Issue of Universal Sovereignty too, they went "beyond what is written in the scriptures."

  carol1111,

  People will continue to do what they are prepared to do whether a superior evil person/good person tries to inspire them or not--hence as you say people are responsible for what they do.

  Heaven,

  very nicely put: "Christianity has exonerated themselves from the responsibility of evil."

  thank you for that reference: WTWizard
