WT Doctrine, Population rather than Generation
by VM44 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the watchtower has forced a rather strange interpretation of the word "generation" in order to keep their doctrinal beliefs concerning the year 1914 consistent with the words of jesus "this generation will not pass...".

however, the watchtower's "overlapping" definition of the word generation is strange and unnatural to common use.

according to the watchtower, a grandfather, son, and grandson all living at the same time would make up a single generation.

Elders appointed by Holy Spirit, an error in logic
by VM44 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
the watchtower and the jws use the following reasoining to "prove" that elders are appointed by holy spirit.. 1) the bible was written under inspiration of the holy spirt.. 2) the bible requirements for and elder are followed when selecting and appointing elders.. 3) therefore, the elders are appointed by holy spirt.. thre is a logical flaw in this argument.. consider the following counter example.. suppose that a person obtains a book on medicine written by a doctor a, and that the person follows the instructions in the book concerning the writing a prescription.. 1) can the perscription that the person wrote be considered as having been written by doctor a?.

2) can the perscription that the person wrote even be considered as having been written under the direction of doctor a?.

the answer to both questions is "no.".
