Biblical Black & White Proof that The Watchtower is Apostate
by objectivetruth ini recently sent this to a former friend that called me an apostate.. it's really straight forward, and there is really no way to get around it for the watchtower.
(not that the bible matters to witnesses, but it's good info).
- apostasy.. that's an interesting term, do you know when it was first used in the new testament?.

Anti-Semitism & Wealth of Jewish Individuals
by objectivetruth inin a recent email conversation that i had with a jw friend, he brought up,the holocaust, as proof that jws were the true religion.
he said something to the effect of... "hitler targeted, jws because they serve jehovah.. hitler wanted them to renounce their faith as witnesses, if the witnesses didn't have the truth why would satan have hitler target them so brutally".
i responded "hitler put 6 million jews to death, and a few thousand witness's to death, what does this mean?".

If I asked for a loan from the WBTS would they give it to me?
by objectivetruth inif this were the "organization" that jesus chose in 1914.. err 1919, wouldn't the principles that he laid out while on earth apply to this organization as well?.
matthew 5:42 "give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.".
so if jw's all asked for loans from the org, every now and then, it would be the orgs responsibility to grant those loans (interest free).

Simplicity & Love
by objectivetruth inwe all get so worked up over details,knowledge,status,possessions,conflict,gossip,jealosy... simplicity & love are the 2 things that society trys so hard to diminish and reject.. but if more of us would just live our lives focusing on simplicity & love, we would see happiness.. jesus rejected material possesions,fame,wealth - he chose to live a simple life, which allowed him to love fully.. how can we live simple lives, and love more?.

My Story
by objectivetruth ini'm 30 years old, and i was raised in the organization, my parents and grandparents are witnesses.. i grew up in a small town, and due to boredom or adhd or rebellion, i never took 2 minutes to look into the religion.. i always went to meetings and field service.
my parents were regular, but never "super-witnesses" so it was always the thing we did (meetings and service) not much more and nothing less.. the congregation, that i grew up in was for the most part friendly and enjoyable.. small towns, are very unique and they cannot be compared to larger city congregations.. i honk that they are a living and breathing organism, depending on the coordinators personality, so goes the personality of the congregation.
thi king back, most of the people in the town that i grew up were good people, just simple hard working & honest people... i really long for the innocence, of the time when this was the truth, and there were no worries.. driving to the conventions at 3 am with my dad and another brother, them slicing meat, me sneaking around the halls of the college, getting into all kinds of things.. conventions were a really special time for me... when i was young me and my friends would run around, messing around, pulling pranks on people, getting into forbidden areas.. running in the hall ways.

men can spray a field with chemicals that kill weeds but spare crops; too bad they cannot spray cities with bombs that blow the bad to bits but leave the innocent intact..
