Rolf Furuli New Book
by dozy in
1. jw
2. friends
for those who haven't come across furuli before , he is a 77 year old norwegian professor and is ( or was ) one of the few "scholarly" jws used by the society and used as a source on various matters ( especially 607 bce ).. however recently he has fallen out with the gb and has published an interesting book - like many recent scholarly apologists , he seems to be going down the road of disagreeing with the authority of the gb but still holding that the jws is the one true religion.

kind of "lions led by donkeys".

whether this view will continue is anyones guess.

"The Truth" - It's just a made up Reality Show
by stumbledbyothers in
1. watchtower
2. bible
jehovah is a made up name.

not god's real name.. therefore jehovah's witnesses is a made up name for a made-up god.. therefore when you got baptized, you got baptized in the name of a made up religion backed up by a made up god's name.. therefore jesus did not appoint the governing body since it wasn't in existence then.

no wonder the july 2020 wt tells you that you have to be convinced god has an organization.. what does this mean?

i was talking to my sister in law the other day about death, and i mentioned something about the afterlife, i don’t remember what i said but it was nothing shocking .

but she squealed, “we don’t believe in the afterlife!

!” and i reasoned, well we kinda do...life after death is the after life..and she just insisted no no it’s not the same thing.

hi guys.

sooner or later we're going to get a jw knocking on our door.

just like when we were jw's doing the knocking, it's good to have a question prepared to get them thinking about their own beliefs.
