Quickfire Questions to ask JW's at your door?

by ThomasCovenant in

jw
friends

occassionally (very) i have met jw's that don't know me and i would like to ask them something to make them think.. any suggestions for quick, simple, thought provoking questions to ask jw's that you may meet?.

i seem to remember 'v' did a youtube question along the lines of,.

''how can you belong to a religion that allows blood fractions to be transfused?''.

Mr Fool

What about this: "- If I shall have any chance to enter Paradise, do I HAVE TO recognize Watchtower as the channel of God? Or is it not necessary?

What are you NOT allowed to say as a Jehovahs Witness?

by The Quiet One in

"one of the bible study was listening and singing the song by jason mraz titled lucky with the chorus going like this;.

quote.

'i'm lucky i'm in love with my best friend.. lucky to have been where i have been.. lucky to be coming home again.. lucky we're in love in every way.. lucky to have stayed where we have stayed.. lucky to be coming home someday..'.

Mr Fool

If "I was lucky" is not proper to say, the opposite may is?!: "It was pre-determined!"

Is it really allowed for a JW to listen to radio or look at TV??

by Mr Fool in

if almost every song, every radio host, every actor is influenced by satan it should be forbidden for every jw to listen to radio and look at tv, right?!

or have i missed something?.

Reflection about Matthew 18:1-4

by Mr Fool in

in matthew 18:1-4: who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?.

1. is it an open-minded little child who is still free from opinions and beliefs?.

2. or a little child with the same opinions, denials and convictions as any hard core jw?.

I would vote for no1, but according to WT, my interpretation is probably influenced by Satan.

I shall have visitors next week. Any recommendations?

by Mr Fool in

like the title said, i shall have visitors (jw young men) next week.. i don t want to scare them away right away, i wish them to have a wake up call.

so what do you suggest?.

shall i inplant one or two questions the first meting, or not?.

Mr Fool

Hahaha, Cofty, you may be spot on! Sometimes when they introduced me to other JW, one of them joked(?) and said that I´m a special case.

Just two things come up in mind from the so called studies we had. Firstly the article in Awake (Do not be a victim of Propaganda) where WT admit that the results of the drawn conclusion we have, is after all, opinions. Backed up with that I could reply to any of their statement: "-Do you know this, or is it that the WT teaches, only your opinion?"

The other thing is about fate. "Does God have the ability to, if he decides to, look into my future?" After the "yes, if he would choose to"-answer: "-It means that we have a pre-determend destiny, right?!"

Now it has gone more than one year of studies in my home with JW, a period filled with "logical drawn conclusions", opinions, "divine" interpretations etc etc.

During this time, through so many questions and statements, when they tested their belief and opinions, I tested my openess in a similar way. For me it was very interesting. But everything came to an end about one week ago. It was nothing more to say, it came to a point when they realized that I´m probably a lost case, because I have no interest to create any opinion, idea, belief or interpretation about the objective Truth or whats in the WT Bible , I´m only interested in the Truth itself without mixing in any kind of intellectual opinion, belief etc. They are nice persons, but I´m really relieved it´s over.

Evolution and spirits

by Chris Tann in

as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.

"skepticism is you friend"

Agree. I´m skeptical about that God may not exist.
