HI. Welcome to reality. As a child My Kingdom Hall in Lafayette N.Y. had a library of very old Jehovah Witness Literature. You weren’t supposed to read it because it contained very advanced, only for the truly enlighten, highly spiritual to read. So of course I borrowed everything over a 5 year period and read it. Lets just say that J.K. Rolling would admit she didn’t have a tenth of the imagination of these guys. Pyramidology, the use of obscure numbers, with wild math to explain modern events. And charts and graphs that were just totally made up of times and events. Did I mention whole articles about Atlantis? Demons possessing Animals, objects, cars, you name it. Siting articles and stories in tabloids as facts as long as they might be useful. Siding with Hitler before we got into the war!! You could see a lot of the stuff they wrote 0ne year, contradicted stuff they would say a few years later. But who was going to challenge them in house? You’d get disfellowshipped, or disassociated in the blink of an eye.

When you put together a large group of arrogant guys who love to publish literature for a 120 years, without a real editor in chief “Jehovah is the Editor” I swear They actually said that in a court hearing! You’re going to get a ton of inconsistency and flip flop on points.

Now that we have the internet and much of their literature is being posted for anybody to research? This is why they’re starting to admonish people from looking up things on the net, they can’t stand the light being shown on them and their teaching.

The “New Light” excuse they are trying to use to explain away all the inconsistency and waffling doesn’t match up well with their constant claims of “Received directly from Jehovah”, or constantly reaffirming their claims with set in stone, absolutely going to happen, without reproach, perfect, indisputable, the list of over used adjectives saying they could never be wrong is all through their literature for 120+ years!

Then when none of it happened they scoured the Bible and used a scripture about as a man grows older he starts to see things from a mature, seasoned perspective, into their cosmic, we weren’t wrong, we were just misguided, excuse for everything.

The JW’s were the brainchild of Russel. I know, they like to try to explain away how their founder was practically PT Barnum, by saying God used him to create his True Religion? I would counter that no bad tree produces good fruit, and that I don’t think God is using Charlie Manson to help us learn good things.

Now that you’re out in “the world” and possibly have any doubts, you could always look up the Elders Handbook! Or you could look up how many times they’ve published a different answer to a single simple question: will the people of Sodom and Gomorrah be resurrected ? I think the positively yes’s are slightly ahead of the definitely no’s something like 129–124. They never thought anybody would start fact checking their publications.

Of all the religions out there I feel the JW’s are the closest to TV car sale ad, you know how they make all these claims, and then a guy comes on and fast talks the disclaimer?That’s the JW’s in a nutshell!
