Daniel,
I'm glad you explicitly disobeyed the Humble & Faithful & Discreet & "only channel" Slave by coming here. You'll learn a lot by calmly comparing what the Slave says with how things work in real life.
There are Many apostate sites to look at, i read them
Great! Not every single piece of information found in them is accurate but I believe you can use your "power of reason" to "distinguish both right and wrong." (Romans 12:1; Hebrews 5:14)
There a lot more sites than can you imagine. Take a look at a long list in http://www.freeminds.org/othrlink.htm.
I don't like everything they do and will not copy them and it surprises me to see that they let some things happen
I'd love to know who are "they" you're talking about! Do you refer to those who take the lead in Brooklyn?
although it is not a perfect organization there are many many witnesses who also don't like some things that happen and don't practice them
Yes, of course it is not a perfect organization. But that's not the problem, we know the Witnesses are imperfect. The problem is: the Governing Body says they are the only ones in the world that have been chosen by Christ himself!! They say that they became God's only channel to humankind in 1918/19!
Did you ever see the Live Forever book?
The book says in page 32:
There cannot be two sets of truth when one does not agree with the other. One or the other is true, but not both. Sincerely believing something, and practicing that belief, will not make it right if it really is wrong.
So, according to the logic of the organization, either:
1. The Governing Body (aka the Slave) was chosen by Jesus.
or
2. The Governing Body was not chosen by Jesus.
Both cannot be true at the same time. If it is shown proof that they were not chosen by Jesus, then the Governing Body is simply wrong and the Witness religion, though having good people, is not the Truth.
Is this reasoning correct?
Welcome to the Board!
