Scripturally, JW-system is synonymous with sin
by abiather inloving ones neighbor (whether he is a believer or not) is the kingly law.
(mathew 5:44-48; james 2:8) it is the kingly law, because it originates from king of all kings; and all other laws originate from this law.
hence violation of this law is the greatest sin, or mother of all sins; because it is against king of all kings and king of all laws.. jw-system is a flagrant violation of this law on two counts:.

Question for apostates!
by TheStumbler ini have a question.. the conventional wisdom seems to be that to 'convert' a jehovah's witness (or get them to see ttatt) you have to ask questions that they cannot answer and engage with their true personality not their 'cult personality'.. intellectual arguments tend to fall flat because jws (who do not already have personal doubts) believe they already know the absolute truth so anything contrary to that truth is nessecarily wrong.
any criticism of their beliefs will be seen as an attack or persecution and will be dismissed as flawed 'human thinking' or 'apostate lies'.. to 'true believers' any amount of contrary evidence and illogical inconsistencies in their beliefs can be dismissed or explained away.
their starting point is that they have special knowledge of absolute truth and all evidence and arguments are then weighed against this preconceived belief.. here is my question.

For JWS: Do you believe Jesus or only what you are told about Jesus?
by Kosonen inthat's the question l would like to ask every jehovah's witness: do you believe jesus or do you only believe what you are told about jesus?
(by the watchtower?).
if you only believe what the watchtower or the governing body tell you about jesus with their selected quotes from the bible.then in fact you don't believe jesus.

Bible Has Problems, Yet Its One Verse Can Solve All Our Problems!
by abiather inscience shows that humans have been living on earth more than 6000 years (contrary to ot chronology).
again inconsistency is pointed out in nt too which says jesus who did countless good worksincluding control over forces of nature and even death itselfyet people killed him, just like killing the duck that lays golden egg!.
despite such inconsistencies, a single verse in the bible can solve all our problems: don't call anyone on earth 'father,' because you have only one father, the one in heaven.

Pope Francis's view on ABORTION can end all discussion on abortion!
by abiather indefence of unborn life is closely linked to the defence of each and every other human right.
it involves the conviction that a human being is always sacred and inviolable, in any situation and at every stage of development.
human beings are ends in themselves and never a means of resolving other problems.

Why do humans suffer
by StephaneLaliberte inwhile talking with my wife, it occurred to me that the jws idea of why humans suffer doesnt make sense.
the idea is that humans suffer so as to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that they cannot rule themselves.. now, the bible states that satan is the ruler of this world.
so just how letting time pass by supposed to answer the question about the humans ability to govern themselves when they dont govern themselves?

The life differences between a good christian and good athiest
by EndofMysteries inlet's compare a christian who goes to a non judgemental / non guilt trip church which focuses really on the gospels, jesus teachings on being non judgemental, anything out of love there is no law against, and they contribute to society.
then an athiest who if you put side by side w/ the above christian, you would not know any difference unless you asked their beliefs.
both are good people, who are able to lead lives doing what they want, enjoying their life, and trying to help their neighbors too.
