Other Revelation Interpretations
by maputo95 inhas anyone read other works intrepretating "revelation" such as done by rc, baptist or lutheran scholars and also by humanists.
the mark of a cult, i feel, are restrictions put upon the membership to only read their own literature.
they also exalt their position which is usually: "only we have the right interpretation because only we have the "truth", consequently jws will not read other interpretations of scripture as they believe these to be "satanic".

Advice on How to Approach JW Friends
by maputo95 inmy best friend has started going back to meetings after a 30 year disassociation with the wtbts.
his main motive is for jehovah to remember and resurrect him on judgement day.
we have played a lot of bible ping-pong both quoting scripture to bolster our opposing position.

Please Comment on My Com to My JW Friend
by maputo95 inplease comment on my latest com with my jw friend who thinks every apostate left because they were doing wrong things themselves:it seems that every time we have a theological discussion or i comment on books written by ex-jws, you resort to extreme finger-pointing and judgmentalism against any church or organization that is not part of the watchtower movement.
i can understand why after a childhood of being informed by the wt you should do this.
firstly, the jw line is every 'apostate' is evil and has left the wt because he was sinning and couldn't live up to the 'high standards' of 'god's organisation on earth'.
