  Talking to a Jehovah`s Witness .Ask the right questions .

  what questions should be asked to a jehovah`s witness when confronted with them.. a jw gives his sermon.

  "you" immediately ask him by what authority he has from god that you should take notice of him ,seeing their are over 40,000 different christian religions in the world who claim to represent god,.

  from the borg?.

  i point to none other than cal lehman and the towerwatch ministries.

  towewatch.com.. the years following the collapse of the ussr and the 1995 generation left a bad taste in my mouth for a long time.

  Their were some incidences that occurred involving a couple of brothers that were under investigation in a judicial committee that I believed was being handled wrongly and I took the Elders to task about it and threatened to name them if I sent a letter to both WT HQ in America and also the branch here in Australia .

  Their knee`s buckled at that point and they compromised with me.

  That`s when I knew the religion had nothing to do with GOD when I could intimidate them.In all sincerity I believed one of the brothers should have been DF and I would have accepted that ,but no they just put conditions on him all because of what they feared I was going to do.

  Of course previously they tried all sorts of things to change my mind but I wasn`t having any of it.

  That`s when I started looking on the internet and first found a site created by Shaun which then led me to Dogpatch / Free Minds , and here I am today.

  Thank you especially to Shaun`s site that I started with.

  They might respond that Jesus gave them authority in Matthew 28.

  And if they did do that just politely point out to them that they do not " Baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit" so they are not following Jesus Christs instructions there either.

  And the organization claims to be the only religion to follow 1st century Christianity as instructed by the Bible.

  Plus, Jehovah`s Witnesses base their Biblical Knowledge on a Catholic Bible by Catholic Scholars , but giving their own interpretations of scripture.

  "YOU" immediately ask him by what authority he has from GOD that you should take notice of him ,seeing their are over 40,000 different Christian religions in the world who claim to represent GOD,

  JW. We were given authority in 1919 (or there about`s) by Jehovah when he saw that only the IBSA were Teaching the Truth at his inspection.

  "YOU" Can you tell me one belief or doctrine that the I.B.S.A .taught and believed in 1919 that is still believed and taught by Jehovah`s Witnesses today , just one

  JW. I`ll get back to you on that .

  Waiting ,waiting , Waiting , maybe the answer is soon ,or just around the corner .?

  "You" And if they can`t do that then that means Jehovah would have rejected Jehovah`s Witnesses , certainly by today as being Apostates ,they don`t now teach what he approved them for in 1919.

  Are You Satisfied To Let The Government Take Care of You?

  by minimus in

  some people want limited government involvement in their lives.

  the less government, the happier they are.

  others feel there’s not enough government intervention.

  I agree minimus , theJW`s I knew took advantage of whatever the government was prepared to give them.

  Including a pioneer who was taking the dole money .An Elder who was a british citizen said to me if the Govts are stupid enough to hand out this money who am I to oppose it .

  Another reasoning from the rank & file ,this is Satan`s system of things and to take advantage of it is Theocratic Warfare at it`s best.

  Never mind what Romans Chapter 13 : 1-7 says be in subjection to the Superior Authorities / it`s an arrangement by God ,and to oppose it it to go against the arrangement of God.

  And those will suffer the consequence for doing so.

  And that was mainly because of the failed 1975 prediction / evident expectation ? of Armageddon.

  Was it not ?
