1. the continuity and visibility of the church.
the true church must be continuous from the apostolic age.
there is no room in christianity for a "gap" or interruption of thousands of years during which true christianity ceased to exist and then was revived in the form of another movement.

no wonder they instructed congregation elders to throw away old literature from kingdon hall libraries.
The ‘truth’ in WTS world seems to be whatever the people in charge interpret. That’s why doctrines are unreliable at best.

i’m wondering what jws are taught or generally think the scriptures mean when they describe humanity has made in the image and likeness of god?
if there is a teaching on that.
I guess I wonder WHAT is the reflected image. God has no body or sexual identity. Being father is more position than a masculinity.

was it jehovahs witnesses who acknowledge the church father as leading teachers?
this is a very interesting statement by justin.
do you accept origen as an authority when he said jesus is our god?
Those guys supposedly heard what they taught and believed from someone who supposedly knew the Apostles, but modern Scholarship has put those claims in doubt,
Hey Phizzy, I’ve never heard of that. What source/s of modern scholarship cast doubt?
There are literally thousands and thousands of pages of these historical documents.

The best part about the early church fathers is that they heard the real deal from the apostles themselves or from those who heard it from the apostles themselves.
Great opening to the topic that has been forgotten about in a system that promotes having a short memory…😉

meet 17 year old zinaida portnova:.
she killed over a hundred nazis in a food poisoning incident.
from wikipedia:.
A very brave girl!
many years ago we would be on someone's doorstep, when waiting for the house holder to come to the door we say something like ... yea after the big a this is going to be my house.
imagine saying that today with the common use of doorbell cameras and the squatting problem .
the changing teachings of jehovah's witnesses .

"jehovah's witnesses often, not only change 180° from what they used to teach, they change from things they vehemently asserted were absolute truth.
Changing doctrines and teachings are examples of “the traditions of men”…sorry, but true
