An interesting project for someone.
by Slidin Fast inwhen reading the publications, or sitting bored out of my skull in the meetings, the same scriptures come up all of the time.
matt 24:45 is quoted so often it hurts my hair roots.. is anyone out there capable of indexing scriptures by frequency of use?
which are the most popular?

Wow, this bit of info surprised even me!!!
by LeKook ini just spoke to a witness friend (has been a witness 25+ years), who said that the elders in her congregation told her that witnesses had better be prepared to begin going door to door, not to announce "good news", but to denounce people who refuse to accept "the trvth".
has anyone else heard about this?
i thought it was a joke at first, but she said no, that's where the elders told her things were headed.

Have you ever successfully persuaded anyone?
by losthobbit ini've had many conversations with religious people and am always surprised that i am never able to get anyone to put their programmed beliefs aside and process the logic that proves how unreasonable their doctrines are.. so, i'm wondering, have you ever successfully persuaded someone to change their mind about something that they had been brainwashed with, and if so, how did you do it?.
thanks in advance .

Satan - the master deceiver makes bad look good
by wannabefree in(sarcasm) jehovah's witnesses have the truth, any good that is done by other religions is a deception of satan to keep people away from the truth as taught exclusively by jehovah's witnesses.
(end sarcasm).
crazy, but that is what jw's believe ... i believed it ... sure, there were times that it caused dissonance ... but i accepted that explanation, you have to in order to think you have the truth, how else can you justify the good done by people of other faiths, sure, you could write off some of it as the natural good that comes from people being created in god's image, but too much good from anything religious must be a tool of satan to distract you from the truth taught exclusively by jehovah's witnesses.. a non-denominational christian church that is relatively new in my area has experienced considerable growth and attracts all kinds of people.

by fade_away in"followed dreams reaching higher.....couldn't survive the fall".
