Ask why if they were chosen then why have they gotten so many things wrong. You may also want to read 1corthinans chapters1,3,11 this is where the writer brings out that leaders are not important at all. You could d also mention that it was Paul who had to travel down to Jerusalem to deal with the subject of circumcision because ones were coming up to his area. He went and got the problem handled not some governing body in Jerusalem.

Governing Body
by Daym123 inhello,.
i am currently in a discussion with a jw about the governing body.. i have read alot of articles regarding it, however whenever i bring up what i have read, i am refuted with scripture, such as acts 15, where they say there was a governing body, who sent out elders and men etc.. does anyone have a website that i may not know of, that has answers to what they refute with?
or any help here or good thought provoking questions to respond with would be much appreciated.. thank you kindly.

Gods name
by Mr.logic inwhat is the correct spelling of gods proper name"yahweh or jehovah"?
if the jw's maintain that yahweh is more proper, why do they misspell it "jehovah"?
if the name of god is so important, then you should not only pronounce it correctly, but spell it correctly too.

God's name was El according to the Cannaanites, with different adjectives following that designation like El - shaddai. Many people say the word El was not his name just a title like diety or God. I respectfully disagree because it was only his designation. No other God was called El-dagon or el-yamm. When you have a king there's usually only one and when you refer to the king even if you don't mention his name everyone in that kingdom knows who your talking about. By the way the Israelites were cannaanites. -

So I overheard a discussion that my son and wife were having about creation yesterday
by My Name is of No Consequence inso i am getting ready for bed yesterday night and i overhear my teenage son and wife talking about how the evidence of creation far outweighs the evidence of evolution.
i heard my son say that evolution has so many holes and how could something happen from nothing.
i wanted to open the door and ask them both how the creator happened from nothing just to see what they would say..

Someone posted on another thread a picture of a before and after of what looked like two galaxy that had collided. Ask your son after showing him this picture. If there was a creator a god and he gave a rats ass then why does he allow galaxy to collide and stars to blow up and planets even our to be his by big astorids and comets? -

How big of a problem is apostasy.
by joe134cd ini often wonder if apostasy could be defined as the "silent problem", as the majority who leave for this reason choose to fade saying nothing.
in all the decades i was a witness i could probably count on 2 hands those who were disfellowshipped for apostasy.i must admit it wasn't until i came on the internet that i fully realise the depth and extent of the problem.
i think of that young girl high school speech that went viral, and you can't tell me all those 300000+ views were all none jws.

I willing to bet since the internet picked up steam around 2010 as far as access and download speeds the number of people leaving for apostasy and knowing something isn't right has gone up big time. -

What kingdom do the sheep inherit?
by scotoma inonce again jehovah has decided to light a candle so jw's can see where they are going.. they went to great lengths to explain that feeding the hungry anointed, thirsty anointed, giving them clothing, housing and visiting them in jail means the preaching work (distributing literature).. this is indeed noble when you consider that the right-hand sheep do this not even knowing who they are helping.. if the sheep are oblivious of who they are helping they must not recognize these "least" ones as christs brothers.. and what is their reward for unknowingly, blindly helping christs brothers?
they inherit the kingdom that was prepared for them from the founding of the world.
the new-lighters conspicuously avoid explaining what kingdom they inherit and how they inherit it.. do they inherit the kingdom that flesh and blood can't inherit.

7 year old boy refused blood by Jehovah Witness parents to potentially save his life .Wouldn`t you take that chance ? To save his life ?
by smiddy inan article in the heraldsun.com.au sunday may31 2015 by reporter kay dibben.
and i quote.
" a hospital has taken the extraordinary step of asking a court to allow a boy to be given a blood transfusion during a liver transplant,after his jehovah witnesses parents refused.. brisbane`s lady cilento children`s hospital has asked the supreme court to authorise medical staff to give any necessary lifesaving blood during and after the boys liver transplant.. the boy "j" aged 7 has been on a liver transplant for a year and his parents want him to have this operation but giving blood is against their religion.. the child... is small for his age has portal hypertension and a genetic condition that can affect multiple organs .. end of quote .

Its crazy and we know it. They'll let the kid have a fraction that's called hemoglobin which is what 96% of what red blood cells are made of. They'll let them take Hemopure which is cows blood and they'll even let members go and have kidney dialyses where the blood is drained out of the person into a machine for cleaning then returned. So much or spilling it on to the ground. These people are delusional and as soon as I realized the contradictions in their doctrines I stopped going. -

Proof - of what?
by Doltologist ina few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.
being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.
the first was called "was life created?

Your right about know one ever preaches to them challenges their beliefs. In the 40 years I was in the only challenges to my faith by others was over the trinity doctrine. Well there's enough scriptures going each way that know one can truly win that fight. -

There is and never was an evil slave according to thier new doctrine. This way they think people can't associate them as the evil slave. I'm sure in the near future they will also say thier is no man of lawlessness so they can't be labeled that either. -

WHY DO ONLY A FEW START TO QUESTION DOCTRINE CHANGES AND NOT EVERYONE?
by disillusioned 2 inthere are many on here who state specific changes in wt publications have caused them to start questioning (understandably you would think), and yet the majority don't.
why is it only a few individuals that do this?
curious as to what others think about this.

That's great A watcher, so what are you going to do if you or one of your kids needs a blood transfusion? Just go along to get along and die or kill your kid. Yes Jehovah does love suicide and murder, he also loves human sacrifice. Wait maybe not and if I kill myself by not taking blood I'll be comiting two major sins as well as Jesus said 'we desire mercy not sacrifice'. Paul said eat whatever you want. So it's not so easy is it and are you really in it for Jehovah and Jesus?
