Dear Anonymity:
Yeah, Jan's only about 30 years old.
Yeah, the Society's top dudes have been
at it with the Bible for over 100 years.
Yeah, sometimes Jan comes across with
a "heavy-handed" approach to those he disagrees
with, but I have to tell you something.
When it comes to Watchtowerism and it's history,
the man knows what he's talking about.
What good is their 100 or more years of
biblical research if their research is highly selective and
even OMITS to inform YOU, their reader, of much pertinent information?
(I have frequently on this board brought up
the way they PRAISE early Christians like
Justin Martyr, WITHOUT letting you know that
Justin believed in and
taught HELL, the DEITY
OF CHRIST, the 2-beamed CROSS, that
Mary is the NEW EVE as JESUS is the NEW ADAM, etc...just
what kind of "research" are these men doing,
not to notice that?? (Justin was executed for
his faith in
165 A.D., by the way, LONG before
Constantine's era). Why do they praise a man
who, by their standards, fits the description
of the most obscene of babylonish blasphemers???
You deign to give Jan some advice, namely,
that
he either "put up or shut up".
WHAT do you propose that Jan "PUT UP"??
Have you READ any of his posts pertaining to
deep matters? Pertaining to JW history??
Name the falsehoods in his posts vis-a-vis
Watchtowerism's history,
if you can.
Be specific.
I don't always agree with Jan on everything,
but I find that he "PUTS UP" just FINE, thank you.
If you really have something substantial to say in refutation of his findings,
well, then,
I warmly
invite YOU to "put up"...
Jaypeeto ;)
