So the witnesses came back today to discuss more with me. It was 2 late 20 yr old men. I will just give a brief recap.
They told me in the bible it said the earth was a sphere long before people knew it. I told them it says circle in the bible and they said that circle was the english translation but the greek word meant sphere but it was translated as circle. I told them it wouldnt take too much for a deep thinking person to conclude the earth was round, or a sphere.
They said that a gobal flood took place 4000 years ago. I said how could all the animals fit on one ark? They said just the basic kinds were on the ark. I said how can we get all our species from just the basic kinds without evolution? He wrote those concerns as well as how could 8 people take care of so many animals down and will find out for the return visit next week.
Heres the big one. In regards to false prophecies, he said jehovahs org. never predicted these things. He said it was men who were apostate. The false prophet rule applies to men within the org, but not the org itself. Same thing with misquotations. It was men who were in essence trying to sabotage the wts from within. He talked about the case of Ray Franz without saying his name. All the apostates to try and bash the witnesses.
So I asked him how can we know that the stuff we are getting from the wts now isnt from apostates. I dont recall he gave an answer other than it is the true religion because in the bible it says by thier fruits you will know them.
Anyways I have to go but I will post more later if I think of anything. Basically I would bring up a point and they would drone on for 5 minutes about something else it was annoying.
