The TRUTH for dummies. Chapter 1
by beaker inbeing only newly freed from the wts, there are many people who were my friends that i would like to be able to explain the truth about many of the points raised on this board.
so i have decided to compile a publication that i can mail to them with short succinct, hardhitting reasoning on areas where the wts is misleading them and also areas where they are saying one thing but practising another.
i would like to be able to limit the explanations to one topic per page with the hope that if there is not too much too read they may just bother to read it.

What was the point of Jesus "examining the churches" back in the day?
by M.J. ini may have this wts doctrine all wrong, so correct me if that's the case.. .
my understanding of it is this: back in 1914 jesus returned to claim back an earthly kingdom which had since been destroyed since the state of isreal fell to babylon.
however, when he got down here jesus didn't quite immediately set up a new kingdom (or "organization", or "channel", or "theocracy", or "faithful discreet slave"), since he had to look over all the churches first to see which one was closest to being the "true" church.

What to tell the persistant JW that keeps coming to the door?
by M.J. ini have a friend who is constantly getting bugged by a jw co-worker who keeps coming to his house to preach to him.
he's usually not home but she keeps disrupting the family.
she's caught him like 2-3 times as he was already on his way out, so he's never taken the time to really talk to her much.

Why don't JWs observe Kosher laws? or Should JWs eat that juicy steak?
by M.J. inaccording to ajwrb.com, even a thorough bleeding of a slaughtered animal leaves as much as 50% of its blood in the flesh.... since jws are so emphatic about not "taking in blood" when it comes to blood transfusions, what is their reasoning for not observing kosher laws, at least with regard to the draining of the blood?
do most jws feel conflicted over eating a juicy and bloody rare steak?
is there any official prohibition against this?

Do the WT authors consider the early church fathers to have been apostates?
by True North indo the wt authors consider the early church fathers to have been apostates?
i seem to have a vague recollection that they do.
however, they don't seem to have a problem reading and selectively quoting or citing from their writings which would then be the writings of apostates.
