The other night I was talking with my sister on the phone and I asked her if she had ever questioned her faith? My heart was pumping as I wasn't sure what her reaction would be, but she was so open and spoke freely with me and even as I brought up topics about the JW's as she is one she kept listening. I'm sure it helped that I was only using Watchtower quotes as she really could not dispute as it is what the Slave has provided.
Interestingly as a baptized JW she still didn't seem confident that Jehovah would let her into the "Magic Kingdom" and she mentioned that she would only hope he would let her in. So I said what about the other 6 Billon plus who will be killed. Her response was that she thinks that some will be saved even as I explained what the Watchtower teaches she was confused.
I asked her if there were any mistakes in the bible? She said no, so I replied that the Watchtower says there is!

She was very confused!
I also asked her about all the false profhecies and she replied that men make errors! So I said that if the Faithless and Indescrete Slave have been delivering the spiritual food since these predictions were made and there word is from Jehovah directly how can they be wrong?
Also confused!
But here's the MEAT and POTATOES and ultimate confusion that STUMPED her, I said what about what Jesus said in 1 Corinthians 11:26 "For as often as YOU eat this loaf and drink this cup, YOU keep proclaiming the death of the lord, until he arrives.
So I asked why do you celebrate the Memorial as your previous publications said Christs presence started in 1873?

First she said what bible is that from? I said it does'nt matter it's all the same, so she looked it up and sure enough is was a carbon copy from the NWT "thanks AlanF"! She kept mauling over the scripture and could not close her bible and was all discombobulated and could not answer my question!
Well the doubt has set in, it might only be a little bit but it is a start. One thing I know and that is the trust that my sister has for me and she knows that I would never mislead her so anything I tell her she will take as truth and not lies. This has opened up our relationship as we can talk about his freely now!
