I would love for someone who has a Bible handy to go ahead and quote passages if possible. I'm just going to 'freestyle' from memory.
It occurred to me last night that the WBTS is having the same problem that Jesus had. Namely, those who call themselves 'followers' need to have the truth proved to them.
After Jesus had risen from the dead, 'Doubting Thomas' was present on one occasion. He had to touch the wounds that Jesus had! No, he wasn't content to let his eyes decieve him. Although he could have easily seen nail holes in Jesus hands, he didn't stop there. If I'm not mistaken, he had to put his hand in the wound where Jesus had been pierced with a spear! How did Jesus react to Thomas?
Now fast forward to the WBTS. Not only do they publish articles encouraging people to keep their doubts to themselves, they even go so far as to say you can't even harbor or have these doubts!
Now, in your opinion, what is the lesson of these two examples?
