Worksheet for JWs with doubts
by seattleniceguy inbeing a witness involves accepting what you might call a "pyramid of belief.
" witness doctrines are based on their interpretation of the bible, which is in turn based on the belief that the bible represents the word of god, which is in turn based on the belief that there is a god that communicates with humans, which is in turn based on the belief that the universe was intentionally constructed by an intelligent being.
