I don't object to Witness theology, but rather their use of social pressure & deceptive manipulations to undermine family ties and control minds.

I support persons impacted by an experience with the Witnesses and advocate early education for everyone so that they can protect themselves from cults by understanding what to watch out for. (It's not what most people think.) (Ex-)Witnesses: I know how upsetting it is to experience doubts (or anger) about your experience.

Questions on Jehovah's Witnesses teachings, doctrines and culture | |

I am familiar with Watchtower doctrine and I am happy to look at how this doctrine lines up with the Bible. I am not into taking out one verse here and there but I believe that all Scripture must be interpreted in context. Some may say for example that the trinity is pagan in origin and that it was made up in the 4th century. (There is simply no evidence for this.) The Bible clearly reveals that God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are 100% God. Phil 1:2, John 1:1, 14, Col 2:9, Acts 5:3-4. | |

I will gladly answer any questions about the lives, teachings, and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses. I will not, however, argue with anyone aboout their teachings and whether or not they are the "true" relgion. I remain an unbiased observer. I neither agree nor disagree with their teachings and lifestyle, but will gladly inform you about the things I have learned in my time associated with them. |
