HOW WOULD A WITNESS ANSWER THIS?
by Mary in
1. jw
2. friends
i thought of a question i'd like to ask my sister-in-law (who's a fanatical dub).

i'd like to say to her: "...if it could be proven to you beyond any doubt that this was not the "one true religion", would you still go to the kingdom hall?...

i figure it's a catch-22 that really ought to make them stop and think.

by minimus in

2. friends
when a witness talks about a person not being "in the truth", does that get to you?

or if they self-righteously proclaim that "at least, they're in the truth and not worldly", does that push any buttons?

The Trinity
by meadow77 in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
top reasons the wts is lying about the trinity.

their translation of john 1:1 is not only a complete farce but falls apart upon closer examination of their own beliefs.

the insertion of the phrase a god, instead of god is just a clear misinterpretation.

a person,group or thing upon whom the "blame" for the mistakes or crimes of other's is thrust,making them a scapegoat.what do you think?has the wt.

society been guilty of doing this to you?

if so,how so?as for me ,the answer is yes.from the time i read the book,"things in which it is impossible for god to lie".i couldn't see the words,"however, if "we" are caught in a lie, it's all your fault,it's your mistake.when "we" were proven to be mistaken,it's still all your fault.ssshhh, keep quiet you scapegoat!

i know jw's are abusive psychologicaly to their members, however so are other churches.

case in point, i knew a woman who would not marry b/c the pope said not to use birth control.

she did not want children, and she could not find it within herself to go against the pope.
