Truth is not absolute - the WT happily uses the phrase "Current Truth"

We had brother and sister Scrounger. Neither worked but both pioneered. Lunch was always at yours never theirs, their car never had petrol so they always needed picking up for field service and meetings although actually the car was a gift from someone! Rented property temporarily so always on the look out for spare rooms and sofas to kip on. Always managed an annual holiday somewhere hot though!

Oh yes - had these two.

What Don't You Like About Jehovah's Witnesses?

yup, this is a negative thread.. there are a lot of things but i'll start with one.. jws believe god will destroy 99.9% of the world simply because they aren't witnesses.

this view produces the "i am better than you" attitude because they get to live forever and you will die forever.

(not a nice religion)..

Examine your religion - but if you are a JW and examine it we will disfellowship you.
