Hi everyone,
Hope everyone's weekend is going well so far. Anyway, I just had two brothers show up at my door, and I was planning to bring up an issue they couldn't solve and befuddle and confuse them. But, wouldn't ya know it, I couldn't just blurt out, "How do you explain the 1914 teaching?" I went completely blank, and didn't have anything to say. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the conversation started without seeming like a total @$$ ?
Happy
i was wondering if anyone has a soloution to this little problem: as we all know, the wt claims to be the faithful and discreet slave, jehovah's spirit directed channel, blah blah blah, but i don't think they ever actually said the word prophet in relation to themselves.
if they have, i've yet to find the quote.
does anyone know how to get around this problem when a thoroughly brainwashed sheep uses the defense that "the wt never said they were a prophet so that argument is not valid"?
Elsewhere,
Thank you kindly. Those will be rather helpful in dispelling the silly notion that the WT does not claim to be prophet.

Yizuman,
I'm the same way. I hit the refresh button constantly.
like the movie of that title, we also were soldiers.
we were soldiers serving a religion.
like the vietnam war soldiers many of us suffered and some of us paid the ultimate price.
IW,
You know, that armband idea actually makes sense. I think I may just do so myself.

could the wbts change anything about it's beliefs that would entice you back to the religion?.
or are you firmly against the wbts no matter what?.
even if it changed it's rules on shunning, blood, "worldly things" ?.
I would sooner tie my tounge to an exhaust pipe and let a car drag me naked 12 miles down a bumpy, gravelly, road...in short HELL NO.
Zanex,
That cracked me up

Does anyone know how to get around this problem when a thoroughly brainwashed sheep uses the defense that "the WT never said they were a prophet so that argument is not valid"? I would think that any intelligent person examining WT literature would realise that they basically do say they are a prophet, but not in those words, but JW's don't see it that way. Any help anyone?
just curious.
maybe this topic has been addressed before, but has anyone here read the book, the bible code by michael drosnin?
i am reading it right now.... comments?
I haven't read the book but I've read reviews and commentaries on it, watched 2 specials about it on TV, and from what I've seen, it appears to be a load of bunk. I thought it was quite interesting initially, until I found out that they reprodouced similiar results with a copy of the novel "Moby Dick"
While it's an interesting subject, I don't think it has any true signifcance.
A good site on the subject is http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/theism/christianity/codes.shtml
