How Can You Recognize True Worship?
by pale.emperor inhad to laugh when i read this in the good news from god publication on the website.. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/good-news-from-god/recognize-true-worshippers/.
basically, watchtower just rattling of a list of things they (claim) to do when trying to identify "true" worship.. the closing question though, "which religion bases all its teachings on god’s word, honors god’s name, and proclaims god’s kingdom as mankind’s only hope?
which group practices love and shuns war?

Counter Witness Video
by Vanderhoven7 insomeone posted a counter mormon video on another thread and suggested we have one available to show after witnessses show us a wt video at the door.. sounds like a great exchange witness approach.
all we need is a good short video that could either bless witnesses with the gospel or plant seeds of doubt in wts authority.
know of any video that might fit the bill?

What is the biggest doctrinal mistake made by the Watchtower /JWorg. ?
by Finkelstein inpersonally i think it is 1914 and the following " this generation " doctrine.. this particular doctrine went right against jesus's own words of " no one knows of the time not even he " .
he also admonished his true followers to not set a time upon god's own sacred time .. the leaders of the wts even back to the late 1800's set a time calculated on their own theology 1874 being the first time set and proclaimed by c t russell, also proclaiming 1914 would likely be the year of the final day of judgment armageddon.
all throughout the 20th century the wts held to this doctrine but was eventually revised of course when it was realized this generation had passed away who saw the events of 1914. .

Another lie about ex-JWs: they alter material
by neat blue dog ini saw this comment recently, and it brought back memories:.
apostates will get a-hold of one of their videos and "alter" it in some way to make the watchtower look bad to the public.. this is one of wt's biggest false flags, the lie that 'apostates' will alter published content or recordings to say something that makes them look bad.
outside of obvious satire, i'm not sure this has ever happened.

What is the inside info on "Reasoning From the Scriptures?"
by stillin ini understand why the witnesses won't actually "reason" from the scriptures; because they will have to come to grips with the fact that others have their own reasons, scripture-based, for believing differently than the jw's.. the "reasoning" book was supposed to arm the r&f with solid scriptural backing that could withstand most in-depth conversations.
so, why is it gathering dust now?
was there some doctrinal issue specifically?.
