Anyone ever 'effectively' protest Jehovah's Witnesses?
by AK - Jeff inever hold a peaceful protest outside a convention, kingdom hall, or otherwise, that had any serious positive outcome?.
what have you found effective in reaching your former brothers and sisters, without coming off as a nafarious 'opposer of jehovah'?.
this is asked in all seriousness, as my opinion is that most efforts fail nearly 100%.

JW friend wants to tell me about Christ's return in 1914....Advice needed!
by whyizit inmy long time friend recently took the plunge (baptized) and is now trying to recruit me.
one of the first things she told me is how all the "other religions" should be carefully inspected, because they are all wrong, in a nut shell.
so, i asked the obvious: i'm not concerned with all the others, i'm here to talk about your's.

Need help: JW friend links every NT teaching to 144,000 only
by whyizit inyou know what i mean: every time she reads a passage in the nt, she instantly applies it to the 144,000 chosen anointed ones.
even though there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to make that connection.
i have even asked how her gurus have made that connection biblically.

My undercover saga - Part 1
by BonaFide inactually, this is part 8 or 9, i can't remember, but i thought i would number them from now on.. i am an active witness, and i want to help my friends and family.
i have had some success in trying to get them to reason, because i always state at the outset, and at the end of the conversation, that i support the faithful slave and gb no matter what.. so since i have a big vehicle, some of the older ones asked me to take them to special assembly day this past weekend.
i had already been, and i told you all about it, but i agreed.

Looking for which WT article this phrase appeared in:
by whyizit in"hence, according to god's will for the creature , in a resurrection one is restored or recreated in either a human or a spirit body and yet retains his personal identity by the setting in motion again of the distinctive life-pattern of that individual.".
.
