Hey Dave;
You said:
"Many of them knew the truth at one time and were convinced to believe a lie..."
Very true! Before I became a JW I knew the difference between the right and wrong, between the truth and a lie. After becoming a JW I was told what to believe and what not to. I was told who was good association and who was not. I was told to change my outlook on things when I questioned wrong doing in the local hall. I was told that I should forget certain things I saw going on for the good of the congregation. In other words I was told to compromise the things that I believed in. To compromise what was right and accept the wrong. Now is that biblical?
The JW organization is NOT Jehovahs chosen people. If you think it is then feel free to prove this to everybody here. But remember this is not the hall. People here will openly discuss the wrong doings of the society. They will debate things instead of keeping quite.
The people here are not Satans followers. They are simply people who have found out that the JW organization is not what it claims to be. They are people who have been hurt by this oraganization in one way or another. They have lost families and friends for simply standing up for the real TRUTH. They are people who have opened their eyes and are now trying to live their life the way Jehoavah REALLY intended them to.
So take off those rose colored glasses and OPEN "YOUR" EYES!!!! You will be amazed at what you might see.
Have a nice day.
