.
Apparently due to the pandemic, the JWs have taken to mailing out their circulars rather than knocking on doors and handing them out personally or leaving them in mailboxes if they get no answer. The latest I've gotten in the mail asks, "How do you view the future?" As is often the case, the first part refers to the Bible to answer the question on the cover and the second part purports to answer the question, "Can we really believe what the Bible says?" Oddly the second part contains a total of eight biblical references to support the claim that one can.
Does it make logical sense to accept the verses supporting the Bible as evidence the Bible should be believed?
Do some who receive this circular circular not notice its circular nature?

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Post #121I have never done that; and I am certain our organisation has never instructed anyone to . I hope that any Witnesses that do break the law in this regard were swiftly brought to justice. We have been instructed to send letters through the post which is what I do.

Post #123I'm always serious about serious matters. But getting back to the OP, my expectations were not mentioned as the topic for discussion. Was the pamphlet you received sent illegally?
