Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute

by oldlightnewshite in

i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.

maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.

if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

i have never understood the watchtower's explanation of the rich man and lazarus story jesus told in luke 16. of course, they don't believe jesus is talking about what happens in an "afterlife" after people die.. but from the watchtower's point of view:.

1. who are the five brothers?.

2. why can't lazarus go witness to them?

Reniaa aka "Debator" said:

I think it is very weak doctrine that needs to literalise a figurative parable or the "witch of endor" piece which says Samuel "comes up from the ground" not from a floaty heavenly place. A close look at the witch of endor shows a support that a Whole person dies and is resurrected, whether it is seen as a false samuel or the real one.

My reply:

You think Reniaa? I think that is a weak attempt to dismiss clear verses that contradict WT theology.

At the time I was absolutely floored he was so blind. Cultic mind control is strong.

Coffee_Black, I agree completely. I showed all this info to my dad. He wa sin limbo and didn't know how to answer, and said he just wanted to hear the WT's answer. So he called them and they gave him their canned answer. He beleived them and any evidence to the contrary he chalked up to the UN conspiring to make the Witnesses look bad.

But, you are 100% on the money...it shows in yet another way that God has absolutely nothing to do with their operations.

Coffee_black, or is it ok to lie down with the beast as long as you didn't know it? Since the WT claims they were tricked, told they had to sign up to be a NGO to the DPI (even though the guidelines clearly state you never had to do this)...but assuming the WT is telling the truth here....it would mean God let his org be tricked into lying down with the beast. Doesn't invoke much confidence in the god of the WT, does it?

Debator, you previously posted here as Reniaa.

Dismissing scripute is not good...neither is misapplying it...of even worse- false prophecying with it!

Oh, and you have misapplied it in this case...you left me nothing to rebut.

Ok, enough feeding the pigs for now.
