Evidence! How did you come to know reality?
by zannahdoll inis it possible that when we (as a people) make an advancement in science and learn new facts that they sometimes disprove what was once considered fact?

or do you trust that things are certain?

Five Serious Questions for Lurking Jehovah's Witnesses
by Ebed_Abodah in[quote="ebed_abodah"]as ex-jehovahs witnesses we believe that there are numerous points taught by the faithful and discreet slave and its governing body that contradict the bible, the very book that they are supposedly drawing all their beliefs from.
if jehovah god is actually using the governing body to disseminate scriptural truths, as they like to call it, then any seeming contradictions between what they teach and what the bible teaches would be easily answered to a point that all would find satisfaction with.. with this in mind, i want to ask any active jehovahs witnesses who may view this site some questions that have stuck out in my mind.
these questions, with bible verses to support my view, are coming from me honestly and without any trickery involved.
