    These articles are supposed to be written under the direction of the holy spirit.

    When you look at all the changes and variations, just ask very innocently, "Do you think it's possible for Jehovah to change his mind so often on such an important subject?"

    Do you think it's possible for Jehovah to change his mind so often on such an important subject?"---- I've asked this very question of my jw, his answer is that it is men who keep getting it wrong, somehow they must be interpreting things wrong and correct it at a later date. Ain't it wonnerful how the gb can admit their mistakes?

    That leads us to ask if we should follow men or God? But the fds is...... you know the routine.

    Then you can try to point out that the gb/wt never admits mistakes when giving new light, it simply appears in a new wt with not a word said about being mistaken or wrong or false prophets. Every jw simply goes along as if this is quite normal and then forget they ever believed anything different about a subject or that it even matters that this information is supposed to from God. No? Not directly from God you say? Only guided? define both. If the wt is only the interpretations of men who can have a history of being mistaken, then if you leave the org is it equated with leaving jah Himself? round and round you go.

    If they've gotten it wrong before, how can you be sure that they're correct now?

    If they've gotten it wrong before, why should anyone listen to them? If you hired a contractor to re-do your kitchen and he made mistakes that ruined your home, why would you dream of hiring him to re-do your bathrooms?

    New light = new darkness, as time goes by the JW beliefs are straying more and more away from the truth and from common decency. It means that for all his defects Russell was closer to the truth than more recent FDS members. They are tightening ever more their cultic grip.

    The new light concept is nothing but a devious way to cover their gross incompetence as religious leaders.

    Just ask where in the BIBLE does it say that a non relative can't talk to a df'd one but under certain circumstances a relative can.....They cannot reconcile the two with the Bible. Don't worry about any light. It's all blinking.

    If you ask them where something is found in the bible then they consider you an apostate
