The Jehovah's Witnesses in their "AWAKE!" Magazine dated 8 September, 1957, carried this startling headline — "50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" (See below for the reproduction).

While I was still formulating the theme of this booklet, I heard a knock at my door one Sunday morning. I opened the door. A European gentleman stood there, grinning broadly. "Good morning'" he said. "Good morning" I replied. He was offering me his "Awake" and "Watchtower" magazines. Yes, a Jehovah's Witness! If a few had knocked at your door previously, you will recognize them immediately. The most supercilious lot of people who ever knocked at people's doors! I invited him in.

As soon as he settled down, I produced the full reproduction of what you see below. Pointing to the monograph
(it's a pic of magazine can't get it in here)
at the top of the page, I asked, "Is this your's?" He readily recognised his own. I said, "It says: 50 000 Errors in the Bible, is it true?" "What's that!" he exclaimed. I repeated, "I said, that it says, that there are 50 000 errors in your Bible." "Where did you get that?" He asked. (This was published 23 years ago, when he was perhaps a little nipper) I said, "Leave the fancy talk aside — is this your's?" pointing again to the monograph — "Awake!" He said, "Can I have a look?" "Of course," I said. I handed him the page>>>

I handed him the page. He started perusing. They (the Jehovah's Witnesses) are trained. They attend classes five times a week in their "Kingdom Halls." Naturally, they are the fittest missionaries among the thousand -and - one - sects - and - denominations of Christendom. They are taught that when cornered, do not commit yourself to anything, do not open your mouths. Wait for the Holy Ghost to inspire you with what to say.
(2nd pic also in magazine can't get it here but check my source)

silently kept watching him, while he browsed the page. Suddenly he looked up. He had found it. The "Holy Ghost" had tickled him. He began, "The article says that "most of those errors have been eliminated." I asked "If MOST are eliminated, how many remain out of 50000? 5000? 500? 50? Even if 50 remain, do you attribute those errors to God?" He was speechless. He excused himself by suggesting that he will come again with some senior member of his Church. That will be the day!

If I had this booklet ready, I would have offered him, saying — "I would like to do you a favour, give me your name and address, and your telephone number. I will lend you this booklet — IS THE BIBLE GOD'S WORD?" for 90 days. I want a written reply!" If you do this, And a few other Muslims do the same. They and the other missionaries will never darken your doors again. I believe that this publication will prove the most effective talisman to date. Insha-Allah!

This "cult" of Jehovah's Witnesses which is so strong in its condemnation of the orthodox Trinitarians, for playing with the "Word of God," is itself playing the same game of semantic gymnastics. In the article under review — "50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" — they say: "there are probably 50 000 errors . . . errors that have crept into the Bible text . . . 50000 such serious (?) errors… most of those so-called errors... as a whole the Bible is accurate." (?)

We do not have the time and space to go into the tens of thousands of — grave or minor — defects that the authors of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) have attempted to revise. We leave that privilege to the Christian scholars of the Bible. Here I will endeavour to cast just a cursory glance at a "half-a-dozen" or so of those "minor" changes.

1. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a VIRGIN shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

(Isaiah 7:14 - AV)

The indispensable "VIRGIN" in the above verse has now been replaced in the RSV with the phrase "a young woman," which is the correct translation of the Hebrew word almah. Almah is the word which has occurred all along in the Hebrew text and NOT bethulah which means VIRGIN. This correction is only to be found in the English language translation, as the RSV is only published in this tongue. For the African and the Afrikaner, the Arab and the Zulu, in fact, in the 1 500 other languages of the world, Christians are made to continue to swallow the misnomer "VIRGIN."

Answer 2

Quite simply, they are lost.

I had a few visit my home not long ago. Right away I asked them, "Is it true what I hear about JW belief that Jesus Christ is actually Michael the Archangel and not God, the Son?"

The facial expressions indicated discomfort. They did not like the question but eventually confirmed that, YES, that is their belief.

I then reminded then of what John wrote in his Gospel. It opens with, In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD. A few verses later John tells us the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us.

OK...the WORD Was God and then the WORD became flesh...Jesus. So using logic directly from John's Gospel in these opening verses...Jesus must be God.

They could not respond and it was time for them to leave. One said they would like to come back another time. I agreed and invited them back anytime. I have not seen or heard from any of them since.

They were very nice and polite people that I would like to come back. They may be exposed to truth and come away from that cult they're trapped in.

Answer 3

That's a good one, I've never heard that one before but as it is the Jeh. Wits hardly come to my house but now and then a straggler comes by and I invite them in and then I begin to share my knowledge that God gave me and they soon leave baffled and return the next day with an elder and after I get through with them they leave baffled and then one of their ministers come and do this challenging thing and then I question his motivations and he usually leave feeling stupid because he knows I am right.

This has happened to me few times at different relatives homes and it got to a point that they knew my name....lol. But it's been awhile now and I've moved, so I'm wondering when will I run into the next newbie .....lol. I think I am one of the few people who like to talk to them not to challenge but to share knowledge with.

Peace

Answer 4

JaX, you really should read: The Incredible Creed of The Jehovah's Witnesses. Christian Bookstores that carry Tan Books (Rockford, IL.) should have that title, or should be able to get it for for about three bucks.

Anyone who has ever considered opening their door to the JW for a chat, or is considering joining their 'religion' must read this first.

I'd love to see that publication you are talking about.
