Re-Writing the Dictionary
by RunningMan inone of the techniques that the society uses to justify their errors and prophetic failures is the redefinition of words.
when they say something that turns out to be wrong, they merely go back and "clarify" their original statement, showing that what you thought it meant, didnt really mean that at all.
they say that babylon the great has "fallen", yet an objective observer could not in any way say that it fell in 1918. it has more members and wealth than it did 100 years ago.

God is a plagarist
by RunningMan ini was doing a little research into some of the bible stories that originated from other sources.
i was aware that many of the bible myths, such as the story of moses, the flood, solomon's wisdom, and the queen of sheba are simply copies of myths or stories borrowed from other cultures.
but, i was surprised to learn that portions of the bible are actually direct quotations from other writings.

The Scientific Method
by RunningMan inwhen scientists seek truth, they rely on a time-tested and proven method for determining the accuracy of their theories.
basically, the scientific method consists of observing, theorizing, predicting, and testing.
in other words, if an idea is true, it will logically lead to certain results under certain conditions.

"We wouldn't know the truth"
by RunningMan insometimes when i point out the societys poor track record, particularly their many changes and errors, i am faced with the argument that all of these changes were in the past.
now, because of the refining of their beliefs, they are all correct.
if jesus is present, then he must have already come.

Watchtower logical fallacies
by RunningMan ini believe that in order to effectively immunize a person against the disease of watchtowerism, it is necessary to bring them to a full, conscious understanding of their tactics.
i am currently working on a document for my son that shows how the society uses faulty logic to make their points.
the document lists several common logical fallacies and then provides examples from the societys teachings.

Sunday's WT study
by RunningMan ini need some information, and i hope that someone on this forum can help me.. yesterday, my mother in law was telling my wife about the wonderful wt study yesterday morning.
apparently, it was the one where they discuss the annual report for last year.. she mentioned that the article pointed to a 30% increase in baptisms.
since we don't have the article, we have no idea what she is talking about.

The Society's "evidence"
by RunningMan ini came across an interesting quote this morning, that made me think of our common plight.
i was looking at a website regarding rosemary jacob.
she took colloidal silver many years ago, and has been permanently damaged by it.

Bogus Anointed
by RunningMan inmost of us already realize that the society's doctrine of 144,000 persons who are chosen from the earth to serve as kings and priests in heaven is full of crap.
but, did you know that there is a way to statistically prove this?.
part of the doctrine states that this number was fully sealed in 1935. if that is the case, then this group is very old.
