    Phone Interview with Tom Cabeen 5/16/08

    http://www.freeminds.org/media/cabeeninterview.htm

    former Jehovah's Witness

    now Roman Catholic in faith

    Questions to be asked:

    1. After all you learned about religion and Christianity as a Jehovah's Witness, how could you make such a blind leap of faith into an old, decaying religion?

    2. What did you find wrong with the Protestant churches and evangelicalism?

    3. What does Catholicism have to offer you and your family, Tom?

    4. How differently do you view Jehovah's Witnesses now?

    5. What is your recommended reading list?

    6. What is a CULT to you, Tom?

    A little tongue in cheek I hope Randy?

    Hi y'all,

    This is a serious interview.

    Question: Is there more basis for faith in Catholicism or Protestantism? (assuming you start from the Bible as the Word of God).

    Tom was my floor overseer at Bethel in 1977 right before the Franz Incident came down.

    Find out why several families took a shine to Catholicism in spite of the harassment of others.

    Oh. O.K.

    The way the first question is formulated just seems so off the wall.

    This will be an mp3 of a phone interview, no callers.

    We will do things like that soon as I ramp up technology,

    I am gearing up for an exciting year at freeminds!

    Here are my questions to you: given that the WTBTS lies to the their own members on a consistent basis and changes their so-called "bible-based" beliefs almost daily on a whim, why should anyone believe that what the WTBTS says about other faiths is true? Seems like, given their blinking "new light," they don't have an accurate grasp on what they believe, let alone what other faiths teach. Why would anyone believe that anything the JWs say about "religion and Christianity" has a modicum of truth to it, given the source? What makes you think Tom's "leap" was blind? Given that the Roman Catholic Church has grown to over 1 billion members worldwide, what gives you the notion that it's a "decaying" religion? Isn't it logical that it would be an "old" religion, since it's been almost 2,000 years since Jesus founded Christianity?

    I look forward to hearing your interview.
