I need help with a discussion with my parents!
by jwfacts inmy parents are on the circuit, well educated, well intentioned and totally committed to the wts.
for years i have argued with them over issues and doctrine.
they know most things that are wrong with the wts but refuse to budge on the idea that it is the only true religion.

World War I did not start during the last days
by jwfacts injehovah's witnesses place great emphasis on world war i proving that the last days started in 1914. what few realise is that world war one started prior to the start of the last days.
the war started in aug whereas the wts claims the last days started on october 2 1914. this means that wwi started during the gentile times and as such can not be claimed to be an indication of the last days.. i asked my pioneer school conductor about this and he claimed that satan started wwi in august as a smokescreen to divert peoples attention from jesus rulership talking place shortly afterwards.
this is an unsubstantiated excuse.

What will you do to celebrate Oct 2 2014?
by jwfacts inlike most people reading this, i was convinced that by 2014 the new system would 'definitely' have been operating for at least a decade.
now that i know this is not going to be the case i am going to have to think of some way to recognise 100 years of wts let downs and failed predictions.
there is no point fretting over the past so i think it will be a good time to celebrate.

Which of Franz's books is better, COC of CF?
by jwfacts inwhen i was rethinking the wts i did most of my research by going back to old books and steering clear of "apostate" material, so i knew the wrong dates, pyramids etc and made my mind up before reading any apostate sites.
when i finally read crisis of conscience i already knew a lot of the information in it, though i still really enjoyed it.
however, even after i knew the wts was a con i still did not have answers for some of the doctrines, like great crowd/other sheep and organisation.

Religions like Jehovah's Witnesses over the last 1900 years
by jwfacts inthe watchtower society has made the claim that since jesus time there have always been people that believe what the watchtower teaches, at least in regards to the major doctrine.
they also claim there has always been a f&d slave.
from time to time the watchtower has mentioned religious groups that were possibly part of the slave.

Looking for article on God needing an Organisation
by jwfacts ini am writing an article for my site on whether god requires an organisation.
for some reason a lot of dubs i talk to think that jehovah must have an org and they can't find one better than the wts.
i remember a great article mentioned in one of the threads about 3 months ago on this site.

Watchtower deception about JW divorce rates.
by jwfacts inthere was a statement in a 1997 awake that i see people quoting on the internet that is trying to imply 4.9% of jws are divorced compared to half of worldly people.
i have found some statistics that prove that this is quite a deception.

How much control can I have over nephews and nieces?
by jwfacts inmy sister and cousin both have 1 year old children, and are both devoted jws.
i would like to help the children grow up to be normal, balanced people, but as the crazy uncle don't think i will have any say.
i am afraid that if i ever even raise religion with them i will be cut off from seeing them.
