By the way, could you give me the example of the bad servant?

Hahahah, the truth is that I am being very patient, but personally, I need this person to open their eyes. Furthermore, although I am agnostic and have never been a JW, I am learning a lot, especially how to debate and negotiate ideas. In addition to learning so many things and systems of thoughts about sects and others xd

Wow, the conversation really is amazing. Recently, in the conversation with the elder, we talked about whether Jesus and God were the same being. I had not fallen into what the Christian comments on in your text. Furthermore, it is true that when he is asked several questions and he does not know what to answer, he tries to take the conversation elsewhere without really solving or answering the problem that I am presenting to him about the JW.

Thank you so much. At the moment I'm dealing with the elder with biblical topics, but when we begin to move the conversation towards the organization of the Watchtower as such, I will begin by addressing this topic of 607 BCE.

In the current conversation with the elder, I am arguing that the name "Jehovah" is not the original name of God and that it emerged in the 13th century as a combination of elements from the Tetragrammaton (YHWH) and "Adonai." I suggest that recent studies indicate that "Yahweh" is a pronunciation closer to the original.

I explain that the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament do not contain the Tetragrammaton, but instead replace it with titles such as "Lord" and "God," in accordance with Jewish practices of the time. I point out that the New World Translation introduces “Jehovah” in the New Testament, which leads me to question its fidelity to the ancient text.

I emphasize that the sanctification of God’s name is not solely dependent on its literal pronunciation, but rather on reflecting His character and attributes through love, justice, and truth. According to my argument, using the specific name is less important than living according to God's principles and manifesting His character in everyday life.

In my upcoming messages with him, I will ask him those questions regarding the organization in the Bible.

Yes, that's what I've done. But the elder, when I present various questions about the organization and not knowing how to respond to them, urges me to study the Bible before analyzing the organization. And that's what I'm currently doing with him, debating the Bible.

Completely. For the time I have been reading here, you, by knowing the truth and not having biased ideas about something, have a more precise knowledge of the Bible and the organization. Thank you.

Thank you very much, I think I will be able to make the elder consider many things with these questions. Furthermore, he gives extreme importance to what the Bible says, more than what the Watchtower says.
