Critical Thinking: Identifying False Logic
by Amazing1914 inwe understand how the watchtower society openly discouraged critical thinking.
they certainly used fallacious reasoning in their theological meanderings.
however, when we leave the jws, learning that we were duped, we can continue to fail to use good constructive critical thinking.

Do Satan and Jesus exist?
by Amazing1914 insince some seem perfectly at ease to depersonalize the holy spirit, and claim that any mention of the holy spirit as talking, or as "he, him, or his" are mere personifications, then this rule can be applied anywhere.. satan is not a real person.
the bible only makes him sound like one because the bible writers all use personification whenever they talk about satan.
why, because according to the arguments of some, wisdom is personified in proverbs, or the mountains cry out, or the trees laugh, that satan is not a person either.. but, but, but ... what about when jesus was tempted by satan in the wilderness?

Official Secret Policy on Anointing
by Amazing1914 ini suggest the policy is secret because it is not openly discussed anymore, but it still in force.
or better stated, has never been updated by so-called "new light.
" current jws who coem to believe that they are anointed sometimes find this article, and it makes them feel free to partake at the memorial.. it is the most compassionate, kind, and detailed article i ever found on the topic of how jws know they are anointed.

History of the Bible - JWs will not like this
by Amazing1914 inhistorically, the bible is a secondary support for christians and jews.
i was raised roman catholic, and our tradition and practices included the bible, but it was not a key centerpiece of our faith.
the jewish side of my family likewise have a rich history of tradition and faith that is lived, and not pinned down to every word in the bible.

First mention of the Catholic Church
by Amazing1914 inas i am completing a paper for brci, i found something quite interesting.
the very first mention of the "catholic church" was made in the year 107, in st. ignatius letter to the smyrnaeans.
st. ignatius was bishop of antioch for forty-years, being appointed by the apostle peter.
