by Essan inyup, that's right.. if we apply the principle from god's own law at deuteronomy 22:8, that is.. .

Combating Destructive Mind Control Part III
by ABibleStudent inquote from: chapter 8, how to help, pg 132. if someone you know and love becomes a member of a destructive cult, you will probably find yourself facing one of the toughest situations of your life.
in helping a person you love return to being himself, its easy to fall into mistakes that could make your job even harder.
if i was a former jw, i would help another family member or friend who is a jw by doing the following:.

Best old books for exposing the 1874/1914 fraud?
by Essan ini'm looking for a couple of the society's old books, one just prior to 1914 the other in the 1920's (as late as possible), which would show what the society was actually saying about 1914 in the run up to that year and that they were still promoting 1874 as the year of christ's presence for many years after 1914.. .
basically i'm looking for recommendations for two of their old books which would do the most damage to the modern jw claims about their past and show they could not have fulfilled prophesy or "qualified" for anything back then, as they claim.. .
there must be a couple of books which are really dynamite, choc full of nonsense and failed predictions.

Most recent Society lies about 1914?
by Essan inas i'm sure we all know, the society has lied repeatedly in the past about what they preached regarding 1914 in the run up to that year, claiming that what was preached was that jesus was to become king in that year and his presence was to begin then etc, when in fact they were preaching that all this had already happened in 1874 and that the end of the world would come in 1914.. .
but does anyone know if they have repeated this lie about what they supposedly preached recently?
when was the last time they claimed this?
