I know...I was one of them! I have found it frustrating with my parents. I have spent long hours logically going through loads of info working through lines of reasoning like:
So, the society has stated on many occasions that it is God's prophet, do you agree? Yes
And Deutronomy tells us what a false prophet is? Yes
And the society has prophecied many things that did not happen, do you agree? Yes
So the society are false prophets aren't they? No, they were just over enthusiastic
The frustration eats me up sometimes! As you say they they are told what to believe and how to answer and that is what I need help in trying to combat.
