Is it wrong to mock and ridicule the Watchtower Society?
by yadda yadda 2 inrobert j ingersoll on the great voltaire:.
"it has been claimed by the christian critics that voltaire was irreverent; that he examined sacred things without solemnity; that he refused to remove his shoes in the presence of the burning bush; that he smiled at the geology of moses, the astronomical ideas of joshua, and that the biography of jonah filled him with laughter.
they say that these stories, these sacred impossibilities, these inspired falsehoods, should be read and studied with a believing mind in humbleness of spirit; that they should be examined prayerfully, asking god at the same time to give us strength to triumph over the conclusions of our reason.

Science proves there is a God
by seekchristonly infusion with god natural .
in the cosmos universe or whatever.
all things are made of the same materials etc so humans will always be fused with the universe in life and death because those building blocks are eternal.

everyone point is relevant to some degree or other. There isno ultimate truth among humankind
So gravity is an opinion??
.
What's interesting about the religious zealot is they declare there is no truth, everything is an opnion, EXCEPT when it comes to their particular beliefs. Then suddenly we're dealing with absolute, irrefutable truth. SCO- under your own rules, how can you be sure YOU aren't the one believing the lie??
.
One mans truth is anothers lie....There is no ultimate truth among humankind only one person fits that criteria and that is The Messiah Yehsuah

Unless you are a Taoist, an atheist, an Orthodox Jew, a Muslim, a Satanist......
Or are you saying your personal truth must also be everyone else's truth?

Cold Steel: The LDS faith resembles more the first century Christian church than it does the WTBTS
.
How so?
This is yet another way LDS and WT are similar; WT makes the same claim- they resemble first century Christianity more closely than any other Christian religion.
If you take a step back from your prejudices CS, you'll see the forest beyond the trees.

I wonder how long she will do it before her bible-trained conscience will tell her to quit?
.
She's probably already asked Jehovah™ to forgive her.

@ Kate...
If a person is questioning or ready to leave WT and they are here, I doubt whether using "WT" vs. "Borg" will make any difference. If it does, I don't think they would be here in the first place.
At least JWNers aren't calling anyone "mentally diseased". We do have our standards.

I'll go so far as to give you an answer from WT literature why exposing WT stupidity is not wrong. If they don't like what we do here, then they shouldn't have written this:
.
"So, then, when religious leaders and organizations of Christendom misrepresent God’s Word by teaching traditions of men, is it wrong to expose their false doctrines? When they claim to be following Christ and yet mix in worldly politics, is it a bad thing to publicize that their actions are unchristian and condemned by God? Should the truth be suppressed because it exposes falsehood and corruption? Never! Jesus never hesitated to speak the truth, even though he was killed at the instigation of the angered religious leaders for doing so.—John 17:14; Jas. 4:4.
Therefore, how will you respond when pointed statements are made about false religious teachings and corrupt practices? Will you immediately condemn the person or organization making the exposé? Do you feel it is all right to teach lies and misrepresent God’s Word, but wrong to expose the error? Contrary to what some may think, it is not unkind and unloving to lay bare falsehood and corruption." ---W 3/1/66, p. 132
