I think if you are so sure about your doctrine, you don't need to be afraid about the JW history of predictions of the end of the world. Tony Garcia casi72002@yahoo.com

They are afraid because it contains evidence from their own publications that they are false prophets.

I am proudly one of Jehovah's Witnesses and you are correct there have been some misunderstandings that make our organization seem to any sceptic less than credible however, just so you know the only doctrine that Jehovah's Witnesses teach from is GOD's word the Bible, and that has never changed and remains to be the case even today. What I may suggest to you is becoming familiar with the scriptures that are inspired and have been recorded by GOD that have indicated there would be insight and understanding provided as men were born along by HOLY SPIRIT. This certainly applies not only in our case but that of any other. It was once believed that the world itself was flat (per Columbus) however the Bible indicated thousands of years before him that it was the shape of a sphere (round) and modern science has certainly proven that to be true. Perhaps the better question to ask is have you youself ever been wrong on any matter? Or because you have, does that indicate that everything you say from hence forth makes you incredible? Maybe your time would be better spent trying to disprove the source of our information that of course being the Scriptures themselves and if you are able to do that then you will have absolute success in proving Jehovah's Witnesses wrong and giving them a reason to fear something other than displeasing our GOD JEHOVAH (Psalms 83:18 King James version). I might also mention the whole reason ones such as yourself feel armed with such information is due to the fact we have nothing to hide.

What the Bible says MUST comply with proven history, If it doesn't then the Bible is just fiction. However, the Bible and proven history do agree. One cannot predict the future, The WTS has made many predictions which turned out to be wrong. The corner stone of their believe is the year 1914 which they say is based on the fall of Jerusalem in the year 607 BCE. However, Jerusalem fell in 587 BCE and this fact is proven by written cuneiform tablets. This site goes into detail which cannot be disputed. It shakes the foundation of their faith in the "discrete slave class"
I just stick with the Bible and knowen history. "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

Jehovah's Witnesses consider that they have understood the truth from the Bible. If they want to learn more about God's laws and purposes they can simply go to their official website or/and to read the literature they receive at the Kingdom Hall.
Jehovah's Witnesses will not visit an apostate/anti-witness link. The Bible says clearly that true Christians must stay away from those who hate the truth.
"By [his] mouth the one who is an apostate brings his fellowman to ruin, but by knowledge are the righteous rescued." -- Proverbs 11:9
"For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who are suppressing the truth in an unrighteous way." -- Romans 1:18
"However, the inspired utterance says definitely that in later periods of time some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to misleading inspired utterances and teachings of demons, by the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, marked in their conscience as with a branding iron." -- 1 Timothy 4:1,2

It's a cult. The bible says don't even greet them. Strange how so called Christians don't like people to preach the truth, but would leave them in darkness. What do JW say about Jesus, that is the real question.

Cause we still haven´t found someone who can prove with the bible that is false what we are preaching in 236 countries around the world, that after Armageddon Jesus will rule the earth during 1000 years and transform this planet in a perfect place to live , a paradise as Jehovah decided in Genesis.
Can you prove that is false that message? No....then you are loosing time....I am pretty sure that you can´t prove that? and also that you will avoid that topic..Why? if that is false ....why you can´t prove it? and if is true why JWs are the only one that are telling to people that message? why you are not doing that?

Does not matter what link you want people to tune into, you too late. The chariot is On the Move. Research that one.
Jesus warned his disciples and that extends to God's people today. Jesus said : “These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.”—John 15:17-19.
There There.

As usual the jw's whine and cry hatred and persecution when they are exposed and they try to redirect you to the watchtower. The jw's are very afraid of their old doctrines. The Bible can break those and then they don't have a leg to stand on.

We are sure of our doctrine, and we are not afraid of anything. Going to that your site is a waste of megabytes.
