Are you complicit if you stay in?
by mrhhome ini am going to throw down the gaunlet.
those who know the truth but stay in anyways are complicit in actions of the jehovah witness organization.
while i am sympathetic to the very difficult choices that they have to make, their unwillingness to confront the jw enables the organization.. some of you may remember my story.

Scriptural Basis for Obedience to GB?
by mrhhome ini have a genuine question for the jw apologist.
.

Can anyone explain love?
by mrhhome inwe have had a variety of theist vs atheist debates on this forum.
usually, it devolves (or evolves?
) into a debate on what can or cannot be proven.. so let's step back a second.

Praying and Studying Scripture
by mrhhome ini ask this question as a non-jw christian who has jw in-laws.. the jw are convinced that all non-jw christians are under the influence of satan, because the jw are the only people following scripture.
of course as you dig into the scriptural basis for what they do, you realize that it is extremely weak.
in many cases, outright contrary to the intent of scripture.. this is where i struggle as a christian in dealing with jw.

Midday Vent
by mrhhome ini know that this is a statement of the obvious, but i am wasting my time trying to have an honest discussion with my in-law witnesses.. it is absolutely amazing.
they are otherwise intelligent, rational, honest people.
however if you get remotely close to a subject that requires that they evaluate their beliefs or challenge the witness policy, they will repeatedly dodge it, twist it, or otherwise ignore it.
