if you have any scans of the awake inside cover that would be awesome.
They can't say they're not prophets and then turn right around and say they're the only 'true channel of communication from God',. Once they claim this then every thing they say is subject to the highest scrutiny and we have to call them on it every time.
Its as if someone claims their God himself but when asked to preform a miracle says 'Im not God today'
letter from a close family member... need help responding.... what a powerful illustration of the affect that our choice of friends can have on us, especially if we leave jehovah after being 'raised' by him from infancy!.
pack of wolvesthere was a farmer who raised sheep and had trouble with wolves stealing his sheep.
he loved his sheep and didn't want to lose even one of them.
Show him the May 3rd daily text of this year were they say Jesus is not your Messiah, that maybe a good starting point. Then maybe romans chapter 2 or 3 can't remember which one, were it states that if one lives a moral life then hes approved by god. This should start knocking holes in the idea of only one true religion and only one people. May also want to finish with luke 21;8 and just tell him your having issues and have decided to pray to God for knowledge and let the holy spirit guide you. There are scriptures that back this up so it will be hard for this person to go against that line of thinking.

Yeah one minute were prophets then another minute goes by and were not then we are then were not just like thier new light. Its light , its dark, its light, its dark.
deuteronomy 18:15 talks of a prophet who would be raised up like me(moses);then, malachi 4:5 says look!
i am sending you elijah before the coming of the great day of jehovah and john 1:19 the people are asking john if he is the christ, or is he elijah, or is he the prophet.. we know christ is coming again.
but according to malachi, elijah has to come before the christ.
You should ask this over at paradisecafediscussions.org that bunch really is good at discussing bible topics.
here's what i scavenged from the most notable watchtower i've ever read.
it may be far more significant than many people realise!.
and before anyone whinges that one or two are 'old light', the fact remains that all of them are rejecting what was once 'inspired truth' from the revered fds, and disagreeing with any one of these (now current) falsehoods would have resulted in your "stoning to death" and shunning by all whom you loved.
Lets not forget that since they the Governing Body consider themselves the Faithful and discreet slave because there feeding the domestics then infact they are the same as the Pope (Vicar of Christ) of Rome since he considers himself the one feeding the flock based on the scripture in Matt chapter 16 (i think) where Jesus tells Simon/Peter 'feed my sheep'. So the JWs have 8 little Pope's or one Pope as a Body not sure. Infact that may be a good question to ask the JW's next time you see one. So is Your GB 8 Popes now or just 1 as a collective body?
I believe their the Governing Body, of a Cult.
the day i've been waiting for is here.
i'm flying home to see family and some old friends, most of whom are jw.
since learning ttatt a few months back, i came to the decision i would have to tell my parents that we are no longer active and don't have any plans to return.
I SHOWED my wife luke 21;8 and told her all about how the religion denies us the messiah. All was good in a few hours as if nothing happened. I think when people have been brainwashed like your parents they just compartmentalize things away and all is well.
"all of our teachings are based on the bible, not on the writings of some religious leader in the united states.
"1 thessalonians 2:13. http://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/not-a-sect/.
all of the teachings (i counted 8) which have been reversed in the july 15th watchtower were based on the bible???????????.
How could they be christians, followers of christ recognize him as their messiah and they do not. They're not christians thier OrganizatIANS.
well ,one of my relatives is studying with jws,she called me about the sexual abuse lawsuit against the jws,i told her i needed to talk to her about other things,she agreed ,and told me that it will be between us,any suggestions?.
just show her the may 3rd daily text of this year were they write that we do not have Jesus as our messiah.
the new world translation is not a translation, is mere adaptation, to avoid paying royalties to biblical issues as, king james and other.
beware the glare of lights.
the translation they call "new world translation ... blah blah blah" is not a translation is an adaptation that have been made, it is not a translation, so we say it is anonymous, you can not know their authors and a thousand stories more, would not pay royalties for use other translations like the kjv, and other.
When i discovered that the NWT at luke 22;29 says the word 'covenant' twice to imply another covenant like the one that was mentioned earlier in the chapter the New Covenant but the real greek words means to 'appoint' or to 'bestow', then i knew this was a bible translation changed for doctrinal benefits of the religion.
