i wasn't offered the new tract, but after they asked me about the state of the world and how i felt about god etc, i asked them in.
(i fell away 10 plus yrs ago and was baptised.
awol.
Check out Wilbur Lingles' book "Approaching Jehovahs Witnesses in love" It gives real problem situations for the Jw they never saw coming. Its a real easy read with little research.
Keep asking question about there beliefs, and deflect, or avoid questions concerning what you believe. Thats a trap they love to set.
Remember, there the ones selling the product.
PS. welcome to the board

hi all im new here, just stumbled accros the website while looking at some jw info and wasn't sure exactly what this forum was, then i quickly realised its actually just what i wanted to find!!
however there isnt really any introduction information, like a clear home page and if you are actually alighned with a particular group/organisation!
anyway, i hope to read lots more interesting stories and hopefully i will find something im after.. cheers.
im a bit lost and alone at moment, however not susectible to being "clensed". I am fully aware of many of there illegitamit principles and biblical "translations" that dont really stack up. but just need to know what might b the outcome if we continue in the future.

You might want to check "free minds" web site for official doctrine. Under Watch tower doctrine.

I'm never interested in Gossip and slandering other christians , and the Jehovah's Wittness's are just that .
They are my christiand brothers and sisters, just like the methodists or the baptists .
Pick your denomination and you'll find christian brothers and sisters there including the Jehovahs Wittness's
Firstly, Its wonderful you have a good relationship with your Jw spouse. You must realize however that the Org. does not feel the same as you do about them.
Secondly, the Witnesses do not associate themselves with "Christians" outside of there camp. Although in the media at times they will portray themsleves as "Christians" ie. NGO status of the United Nations and the legal systems and so forth.
Finally, the official doctrine is clear, all religions of the world are a part of "Babylon the great"
There's plenty of upstanding good people in the organization. They just happend to be mis-lead by men who are by definition false prophets.

i have been having an argument in this thread, which originally was about the trinity (oh no, not again.... http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/10/121719/1.ashx.
...with mondo1, about what the text in revelation 1.17 means.
i don`t want this thread to turn into another trinity-thread, let`s just keep it to the phrase "the first and the last", and revelation, and jesus` status in this text.
I wouldn't even suggest that Mondo is being in any sense dishonest.
Not with this forum, with himself.
I doubt there's one of us who doesn't have a little chaff...
Im king of all chaff!

When he came down to earth, he "became flesh" and so that substance of spirit that he existed in was somehow not a part of him anymore. How it was not a part of him I couldn't say for sure. Maybe it was just gone, maybe it changed to something else.
Well this is a start. I see glimmers of honesty here. Now, the fact that "it" was gone somehow, is realizing there was something that had to go away.
As the rabbit hole continues, one has yet another burning question. Is it reasonable to say "it" was out of existence?

If nothing came down, then how did Mary conceive?

Once again the topic has circled back around. Imagine that!
For me to accept nothing came down, you'll have to indulge us as to what happened to the Spirit in heaven that lost its identity?
Okay lets say nothing came down. What rose up on the third day?

But some-thing came down. WT logistics of prehuman to human Christ, are a mystery.
