  well an elder brought this up with me and said he didnt understand how adam sinned if he was perfect.

  i said i dont see how he couldve sin ed if he was perfect....but he had free will to choose.

  i then told him that i thought if god wanted us to obey him the worst thing he could do was create us to have free will.....a side thought i had was:.

  my wife expresssd to me as we watched a movie that she really loves how those in christianity dont have to meet requirements to become baptised.

  she stated the it seems morenin line with the scriptures.

  i agreed with her and brought up the story of cornelius and his family baptised the night he saw paul in the prison cell.

  am reading coc at the moment, about half way through.

  just finished reading some of the details of what happened in malawi and mexico years ago.

  which reminded me that in the early 80's a very well known elder in the country i was then living in went to new york as he had discovered all the discrepencies between what had happened in malawi and in mexico and wanted to know what the gb had to say about it.

  Bumping this thread in case thedog1 hasn't seen this last question, I'd be interested in doctrinal differences of opinion too....

  will this wake any jw's up to how they have more in common with other sects than they believe?.

  Although I haven't done the cart witnessing yet, I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE it if a learned apostate approached with some good logical reasonings while my missus was there.. Issues could be raised in that circumstance that wouldn't normally be tolerated...

  I played the witness interview to my good lady wife , her response ? " Nicely put." I agreed and said yes it was , but it's not the OFFICIAL teaching is it, that we don't say we have the right religion? the answer? Silence. She just doesn't see it. And it wasn't the right time to push it.

  Thanks for bringing this to our attention OP.

  The Watchtower religion(JWS), that really couldn't fail, from beginning to ........

  by Finkelstein in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  when one looks back retrospectively at the very beginning of this organization, you could see that the wts.. was on a structural platform of success, created by cunningly created doctrines, such as the invisible return of.

  christ, the end times and the imminently soon to come armageddon, all bundled together.. .. this religious organization like so many others established in the united states was unregulated and had.

  no upper governing control over its daily operations.. they proclaimed and taught what they wanted to or needed to sustain their operations as a publishing house.. .

  The dog. Dude. I wish there were more elders like you in every congregation. If there were, there would be much less care for rules and regulations, and much more care for individuals, it would be a much more Christian place to be. I was like you but couldn't stomach it any more. Now I'm a stubborn four hours a month Joe public kinda publisher that's trying to fade, the type of person I found so aggravating when I was an elder! Be assured, you are appreciated by individuals in your congregation, but unfortunately people like you and I and countless others aren't ALLOWED to be so easy going or loving, it's not in the organisations nature. Rules rule. Hope you stay here dude, and hope you manage to sort out your own circumstances....

  We had someone answer this paragraph "I'm sure 90% would answer NO, (not happier etc ) . .

  He has no idea. We perpetuate this myth then tell each other its not only true but youre damned if you talk to ones who have left to find out. Dya think its a cult much?
