    I always think irony is very ironic isn't it?

    What do you think is the most ironic scripture the Jehovah's Witnesses quote?

    I've got one or two, but I thought I would throw it out as a question for a change.

    When they quote the scripture that Jesus said you will know his disciples by the love they have amongst themselves and they apply it to themselves, yet many people on this board left because of the lack of love shown in the org.

    ok, I was thinking of the scripture they quote, "he that is faithfull in little things is also faithfull in what is much" or words to that effect.
    Interesting that they can take fractions of blood but not pints of red cells.

    I don't know if you'd call this irony, but i had trouble with the scripture that says whoever gives up mothers, brothers, etc. will get a hundredfold, both now and in the coming world.

    That simply does not apply in any way to JWs. They have a perfunctory way of 'fulfilling' it by calling each other 'brother and sister' by titles, but by no means in function, form only.
