  1. When individuals leave the Jehovah's Witness organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that God is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work. When people leave another Christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.
  2. When a Christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie. When a Jehovah's Witness lies, he is proving his loyalty to Jehovah and fulfilling his sacred obligation to engage in spiritual warfare. During times of rapid growth, the organization claims God's approval for the harvest.
  3. During times of little or negative growth, the organization prints that this is evidence that the end is near because it appears that the harvest work is almost over.
  4. When a Jehovah's Witness is martyred, it is seen as following Christ's example and fulfillment of Scripture. When a Christian of another faith is martyred it is seen as a misguided, albeit admirable exercise in a form of faith but proving false to its Source.
  5. When the organization prophesies falsely it is due to man’s imperfection and an eagerness to see the new system. When another faith prophesies falsely it is proof that they are a false prophet in fulfillment of Christ's words about the presence of many false prophets during the last days.
  6. When other Christian faiths experience growth it is because the Devil is misleading the entire inhabited earth. When Jehovah's Witnesses experience growth it is undeniable evidence that Jesus is actively leading the organization.
  7. When other religions are exposed as fraudulent and a menace to society and they lose certain privileges or status within a particular context, it is because God uses the governments as his executioner of justice. When the Jehovah's Witnesses are exposed as fraudulent and a menace to society and they lose certain privileges or status within a particular context, it is because Satan owns all the governments; else how could he have offered all of them to Jesus as a temptation?
  8. When the Catholic Church engages in protecting Pedophile Priests by hushing up the matter it is evidence that they are a filthy Harlot. When Jehovah's Witnesses don't notify police of charges of child molestation it is because of their willingness to allow Jehovah to handle the matter in his due time; thereby displaying faith in the ultimate JUDGE.
  9. Jehovah's Witnesses claim to have no clergy and hence are totally unlike Christendom's rulers who get special reverence and lord it over their brothers. When asked why they don't report criminal charges to the police they claim it is because it’s a perversion of the clergy/laity relationship.
  10. When a Jehovah's Witness is unrepentant he is disfellowshipped, branded unfit for association. When the organization is unrepentant of its sins and people find it unfit for association and contentiously leave, it is because they are full of pride and refuse to wait on Jehovah.
  11. When a Christian of another faith celebrates Mothers Day they are following ancient pagan practices and giving undue attention to someone. When Witnesses wear a wedding ring that clearly has pagan origins and draws attention to their status, it is evidence of the divinely inspired institution of marriage.
  12. When a Jehovah's Witness defrauds another Witness, it may be brought before the elders for possible social sanction if guilty. When a Christian of another faith defrauds a Witness he is oftentimes encouraged to sue the pants off him and squeeze him for every dime.
  13. When other Churches support the UN it is evidence that the harlot is fornicating with the Wild Beast. When the organization officially agreed to support UN objectives it was because they needed “access to their library”.
  14. When a different faith-believing relative shuns their Jehovah’s Witness family member, it is the fulfillment of Christ's prophecy concerning the breaking up of families when someone starts to believe in Christ. When a Jehovah's Witness shuns his different believing relatives, whether they believe in Christ or not, it is seen as an action necessary to keep oneself without spot from the world.
Every event in a Jehovah's Witness life is seen as evidence that they have the truth while others will simply be destroyed by God.

The Watchtower is a closed and circular reasoning mindset that they inculcate in their acolytes.

They condemn all outside study because they are Gods organization and they have done the study so people can just take their word for it.

When they abandon a position that they held for decades and disfellowshipped people over, they claim it is th elight getting brighter!

For the most part all we can do is lay the seeds of truth against the concrete bunkers the Watchtower has built in poeples lives in the hopes teh truth will smash the walls and find good soil inside.

That was spot on, Berean. I'm sure there are many more, as well. Have you ever been a JW? Most people know very little about them.
I call it "uneven scales" which Jehovah hates.

The child sex abuse problem with the JWs is massive. They have been caught lying mutliple times about it, and still arent cooperating properly.
I was considering doing a thread on it, but it almost seems as if people dont care anymore. Shock factor is over?

I have studied in trinity religions, learned about Mormons, etc. I studied with JW,s. I carefully studied the teachings of Jesus. 0 doubt in all creation= In every translation on Gods earth the teachings of Jesus back the JW,s. Israelite true God worship history backs the JW,s--- So yes the rest on earth cannot possibly accomplish this-John 4:22-24--thus cannot be considered true followers.

Didn't know about child abuse. Thanks for sharing. I'm disgusted.
