Hello, friend. Sorry, but I know of no site concerning the JW’s. There might be one someplace, but all I have is a little experience, a friend who used to belong to them, some literature and books. Some of that literature from way back gives them a “black-eye”, and whenever I’ve confronted them about what they have written, they get defensive, offended, and “disappear”. I’ve noticed it has happened again. Apparently, they “disappeared”. Not necessarily because of what I have written, but from what other postings previously have said, which is mighty good stuff that goes to the heart of their error. Most likely, their elders ordered them to stop visiting this site. Like when someone who knows how to witness to them, is finally avoided by them under the pretense they are hopelessly lost. They can’t “disobey” their elders, or they will be “disfellowshiped” from associating with any JW’s. Tom |

Tom, hello! Thanks any way! Yeah, that is so true--I remember one particular occasion when one of two that were visiting stormmed out telling me how unwise I was and that when I decided to learn about God they would gladly come back. Their indoctrination is very severe; they are taught that everyone else is either ignorant or wrong; so they must save the world from itself... Yet they must not deviate from the choreographed Bible study, nor are they to submit to other interpretations--ignoring everything that is presented to them, including the Bible itself! I pray for them every day! God Bless! |

Yes Jehovah’s Witnesses do have a much material to read. Our material is bible based. That means that the foundation of our publications is from the bible. However you are incorrect in saying that we neglect the bible for answers. We take bible reading very seriously. Jehovah’s Witnesses greatly appreciate their Bible study aids, including The Watchtower, and use these regularly. But we know that none of them take the place of the Bible itself. We never forget that the Bible is our Standard and that however God-given our helps may be they are ‘helps’ and not substitutes for the Bible. We carefully examined the Scriptures daily’ to determine the Scriptural basis for what was being taught.—Acts 17:11. Daily Bible reading will help us to “walk worthily of Jehovah to the end of fully pleasing him” instead of allowing the world to squeeze us into its mold.—Colossians 1:9, 10; Romans 12:2. |
