Priest Alexander Permyakov

11. Me: Can the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses lie?

12. Galina: What are you talking about? Of course not!!

13. Me: Great. Let's summarize. Your understanding of the Bible is in complete agreement with the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. You can't lie. An organization cannot lie. Then there should be no contradictions between you and the organization. Did I understand you correctly?

14. Galina: Absolutely.

15. Me: And why do you think that only Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Bible correctly? Do you know the teachings of other Christian denominations well?

16. Galina: I repeat that I was Orthodox. So I have something to compare with. We also studied other religions...

17. Me: Have you studied them in the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses?

18. Galina: Yes! I don't have to go through all the denominations in order to choose the true faith. Jehovah's Witnesses told me that if I found a denomination that followed the Bible more than the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, then I should go to a place where there was purer Bible teaching.

19. Me: Very good. Do you think that Jehovah's Witnesses are unique in that they follow only the Bible?

20. Galina: Yes.

21. Me: But Baptists, Adventists, and other Protestants also claim to follow the Bible, don't they?

22. Galina: How do they follow the Bible if they profess unbiblical teachings about the Trinity, about the soul that exists separately from the body, and about the eternity of the torment of sinners?

23. Me: And who is insured against mistakes? Even the apostles were wrong. Let's see what the Bible says:

Wherefore they came together and asked him, saying, Is it not at this time, O Lord, that thou dost restore the kingdom to Israel? (Acts 1:6) See?
