  My questions are:

  1. Why are they still promoting the false date of 607 BCE for the destruction of the Second Temple, when all historical, archeological and biblical evidence shows it was destroyed in 586 BCE?
• Why do they insist that every man, woman and child within the Organization be evangelizers, when Ephesians 4:11 clearly states: "....It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers." With this reasoning, every man, woman, and child should also be apostles, prophets, and pastors (which of course, they're not).
• Why do they use Matthew chapter 24 as events that happen AFTER Christ's "invisible return" in 1914, when verse 32 clearly shows that these events lead up to His Second Coming: 32 "Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it [4] is near, right at the door." Note that it says "near". Not that He had arrived decades earlier and then all these things would occur, but the other way around. (that outta put a nice little dent in the 1914 theory)
• Why are Witnesses allowed to celebrate the birth day of their marriages, but not the day of their birth?
• Where in the bible does it say that in order to be considered for eternal life, you have to attend 5 meetings a week, and get 10 hours in Service every single month?
• Please show me a scripture where it says that Jesus Himself went out knocking on people's doors when preaching
• Why do Jehovah's Witnesses not do charity work, since this is clearly a Christian command?

1) They will claim that they acknowledged the secular date in 1992 but because nothing "prophetically significant" happened in 1936/37 then 607 is correct.

2) They will claim International service, bethel, and the building program takes up the time of many, and lately they have been saying field service is only a small portion of serving Jehovah.

3) Then new take is Jesus "turned his attention to" the earth in 1914 or looked at it. He has not came.

4) They will claim birthdays are put in a bad light in the bible and that mature Christians would not want to give the wrong impression but if a holiday or celebration has no current pagan ties in your area it is up to the individual as long as they don?t stumble anyone.

5) They will deny they teach that. They will say that a mature Christian has love for his fellow man and the love for his neighbor motivates him to put in what time in their means, and attending meetings is to enjoy Christian fellowship.

6) They will say knocking on doors is a western custom in other courtiers they clap, shout, or whatever the custom is.

7) They will say that while they do disaster relief no amount of charity could stave of the problems of this system of things and that individual JWs are allowed to do charity work providing it does not conflict with their conscience.
