Everything the jws believe comes from the GB at Brooklyn, they blindly believe in their interpretations of the bible that they themselves (the GB)often change because they are erroneous.

Rambaldi has a problem with "Catholic Dad Official Pastor of the Domestic Church." For Jehovah's Witnesses it would read: "Watchtower Society Official Pastor of the Domestic Church." I prefer the Catholic one, it's much more Scriptural. Eph. 6:4 "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord."
Catholic icons upset him, but the Watchtower icon doesn't. And the literature of the Watchtower Society is filled with holy pictures of Biblical characters. Why is that o.k?
What truths of the Catholic faith, he asks.
You could start with Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. HE'S NO JOKE!

Hi Gang:
I wanted to give an explanation for the Catholic Church Pillar and Bulwark of Truth T-Shirts.
The Watchtower teaches that anyone is not physically a part of their organization is going to be destroyed.
The Catholic Church does not teach this. The Catholic Church teaches that it is the Church founded by Christ. Those of us who physically belong to the Catholic Church believe this. Otherwise, I would not have become Catholic.
Those believers outside of the Catholic Church are also part of the Catholic Church but they are not completely in union with us. In other words, it is an imperfect communion. So, individuals who are not members of the physical Catholic Church but are Lutheran, Presbyterian, etc. etc. are still my Christian brothers and sisters but are referred to as separated brothers. I have no doubt that such ones who are faithful to their beliefs will get to heaven.
However, it is the belief of Catholics like myself and I think I can speak for Claude Kenneson too that we believe that the fullness of Christian truth lies in the Catholic Church and that those truths found in other Christian denominations and even in other non-Christian religions such as the JWs and Mormons are connected to the Church Jesus founded, the Catholic Church.
For example, when I was a JW, I was taught that the Bible is the word of God. This is a Catholic truth taught by the JWs. This truth through the grace of God eventually lead me and others to the fullness of the faith in the Catholic Church. (Historically, the only reason we know the Bible to be the word of God is because the Catholic Church has taught us this.)
In any case, I hope that clears things up.

P.S. There are some Catholic groups that do go door to door. One is the Legion of Mary and the other that I know about is The Legionaries of Christ.

Undecided
I don't understand God's way of helping mankind. He waited four thousand years to send Christ and now has waited two thousand more years and nothing has happened to help mankind to overcome the damnation of what one man did that God passed on to everyone else.
I don't see any evidence to support any of the biblical BS that has been written. If there is any would you point it out to me? Would you please explain the book of Revelation to me, oh well, don't bother, the WT has already tried.

I have a hard time believing that any organized religion has the truth. Mainly when " The Truth" is taken from a 6000 year old book that has been rewritten several times to fit individual’s beliefs. How can there be one truth that is only found in our versions of this book. In my humble opinion the Bible is nothing more than book, with great stories of moral development. To say that any Church or Organized Religion has the best way to Heaven is just as blindly following dogma. Might as well be a JW, at least you don’t have to worry going to hell.
Not trying to offend anyone, I just can’t see that a church founded by St. Peter, a known sexist and Self Mutilator has the true way to God. Also what's the deal with hiding the

Also what's the deal with hiding the Dea Sea scrolls? Could it be to hide Mary Magdalene's importance to Jesus? If Mary really was an apostle or close disciple than that would throw Catholic Dogma right out the window.
Just my 2 cents worth

If the Catholics have something better
then they would go door to door
Rambaldi: When's the last time you bought something from a door to door salesman? Is that really evidence of a quality product? I think not. Surely you can think of a better argument.
