anyone wishes to “read” the “TRUE” transcript of the case, it’s available online. Just be careful, since “apostates” have rewritten some pages of the transcript to bolster their ignorant claims. One, that has been submitted here already is a good example since it was gathered by an apostate book.

Ok show me what I misrepresented

That's really the crux of all the problems with the organization. Rank-and-file JWs do not have the right to question any doctrines--even with Biblical support. Only the GB can correctly interpret the

I do get warm feelies here. I don't think that's a bad thing. (I don't mean here, with @The Librarianand all; I mean in Jehovah's organization) I am like most Witnesses who do not have to have ev

Like I really should watch CNN to learn the truth about Trump or Breitbart to learn the truth about Obama? I'll choose what I choose to see in proper context, neither cherry-picked nor skewed.

is now bent on discrediting the Watchtower in every possible way by insinuating the 1914 doctrine is “false”, when NOT, any ex-witness can “disprove” it.

I'd be very interested in what you would consider proof that the teaching isn't true.

Oh! I don't know, let's see. Can you go back in time to change the commencement of WW1?

Can you go back in time to prevent the British from freeing the Jews in late 1913 early 1914?

Little things like that, it's a no brainer, so you and JTR can pick your poison!

There are others that ex-witnesses haven't thought of, but like Tom said, if they haven't figured it out in more than 70 years, then, why show it. so, let's stick to the things you supposedly know.

As for apostate views, I have little to no interest in showing them their erred claims.

this heretical thought that it’s up to us to prove it, is subjectable since they’re the ones that bring it up. So, it’s for them to prove it wrong. Now, on the other hand, Pastor Russell, proved to the world, his calculations he started 40 years earlier came to a completion. That event was confirmed by worldly conditions.

Wrong it's the JWs who are making a positive claim, they are ones who have to prove it. A claim like that ( Jesus coming invisiblely and selecting your organization as his religion and your leaders as his sole channel of communication) is not true until proven false it needs to be  proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. It can be disproven beyond any reasonable doubt but the onus is on the witnesses to prove their claim, as the saying goes "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence"

If someone insists on acting as a 10-year old, there's no need to go there with him.

That would be my sentiment: I'm afraid you'll have to explain this one for me. I don't know what you mean.

No! sorry, Charlie, It's up to the opposers. You guys keep coming up with the same thing year after year without disproving it!!! It's up to the faithful to understand God's Word. If there are reservations (Skeptical) then that person is free to choose, but you can't be both.

Here, your error in thinking anyone has the power and authority to persuade someone. I used to enter the most questionable apostate websites, and no one could answer simple reliable proven events, same as here. The best was "Simon" but he couldn't hold water with his, kind of debate. But since he was the owner of that website, you guessed it "DELETION".

So, you think the rambling of an uneducated person gives you proof, Reread the nonesense@@

Well, you can bluster all you want. That's typical of a jaded person that has NO common sense. But, I was referring to intellectually, NOT childish gibberish. So, you and JTR need to try harder, possibly in the realm of adulthood. :D

    • Should Christians place greater trust in human-created philosophies or should a genuine Christian ground their desires from the scriptural perspective on the frailties of the mind and body? Psychology often falls short when it clashes with personal beliefs, regardless of the intentions behind it. James 1:14, Romans 12: 2 It also acts as a guide to clarify misconceptions, such as labeling "shunning" as an evil act rather than recognizing it as a corrective measure or a personal choice. This suggests a misunderstanding on the part of experts, more so than scholars, regarding psychological matters. The forum is structured around Christian ethics.
    • https://phcworld.com/category/health-and-wellness/ The Dendera Zodiac is a fascinating ancient Egyptian artifact that holds significant historical and astronomical value. Discovered in the Hathor Temple at Dendera, it is a carved bas-relief dating back to the Roman period of Egypt, around 50 BCE. This intricate depiction of the night sky features a circular representation of constellations and celestial bodies, showcasing the ancient Egyptians' advanced understanding of astronomy. The Dendera Zodiac is notable for its detailed depiction of zodiac signs, including Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and others. It also includes images of deities and mythological figures associated with these constellations. The artifact offers valuable insights into how the ancient Egyptians viewed the cosmos and how they integrated their religious and mythological beliefs with their understanding of the stars. Despite its importance, the Dendera Zodiac has been the subject of various interpretations and theories regarding its exact purpose and symbolism. Its rich artistry and complex design continue to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike, making it a key piece in the study of ancient Egyptian science and religion.
