i don’t understand how jehovah’s witnesses can rightly claim:.
that less than 150,000 faithful christians existed prior to the 20th century....when allegedly millions were martyred during the first 3 centuries of the common era alone.
unique ability to interpret scripture...when interpretation of prophecy has been 100% wrong for over 130 years.. .

I think I'm not contradicting myself. Is it too much feeling sad and disillusioned because my mother-in-law doesn't care about the reasons I left? I know it's all about indoctrination. But when she and her daughter showed me "the truth" and it ruined my life and hurt my parents she liked that I heard her. I know that's what indoctrination makes to people: it blinds them! But I think it would be polite of her to show that she cares.

Still no answers... I should have guessed! We're just supposed to listen and obey no matter how silly and untrue what we say is! Just like my mother-in-law didn't care about reading my dissociation letter. She should think that she will soon need me to change her diapers! Or perhaps I'll tell her to ask the WT or the GB or their friends to do it. What do you think?

It seems that my questions are going to remain unanswered... That's a pity because you're losing the opportunity of putting some more time into your monthly report. And perhaps I would get the chance to see that I'm really wrong. Perhaps you could make me see the light and return to WT and stop trying to show my wife and daughter how mean and destructive it really is.
Anyway, I still have two more questions for you:

I keep my questions:
As you can see, they are not rhetorical questions, they are direct questions.

Read the posts on this site by “scholar” on this topic and my commentary on those threads. But if you have facts other than the interpretation and conclusions please show. Your posts so far are assertions.
I'm not going to search for any other posts to read anything you've already written because you've answered to one of my posts here telling me wrong. So, the discussion takes place here.
You just need to open any encyclopedia to know that Jerusalem didn't fall in 607 AEC or read The Gentle Times Reconsidered. Therefore 1914 means nothing! What proof do you have to prove me wrong?

Excellent questions Punko!
Indeed. But they are probably going to be labelled as "rhetoric" too...

The only fact is that the conclusion you allude to based on interpretation of the evidence.
Again, I ask, based on what sources do you conclude that? What work(s) have you studied/read?
Still, no answers to my questions...

That is an interpretation. JW believe different.
No interpretation here, facts! Again, what have you read on the issue?
Not question but rhetoric. JW disagree with your view.
No, those were questions for you too answer, not rhetorical questions! That only shows that you're not open for discussing the matter.
And...
Yes, JW have made a great work. But, so have all car manufacturers who sell cars everywhere! You're not going to say that JW saved the Bible or that those peoples didn't have it, are you?!
They have been successful at distorting the biblical message, at spreading their ideas, which are not based on the Bible, and on taking suffering into other people's homes, not Jesus's freedom and hope!

Because that ain’t wrong
What have you read to support your statement?! There are more than 5000 archaeological documents that prove that date wrong!!!
What about my other questions?

And they corrected it.
Like they corrected the child abuse situations? The wrong date of 1914 in connection with the wrong date of the destruction of Jerusalem? Are you saying that God doesn't know what He wants to say when he tells His people what to say in His name? Did God and Jesus tell us to worry about dates? Did they tell us to focus on preaching and not care for for elderly, the weak, the poor, the ill...? Did they tell us that the most important thing is a piece of paper with a bunch of hours per month?! That's how we assess spirituality... Can God lie, like the WT does all the time?! Did Jesus tell us to be arrogant and presumptuous like the WT/GB are?
