Ah yes, the "distinction without a difference" between JWs and WTS. This is truly the last pathetic refuge of an enslaved mind fighting to preserve a vanishing fantasy. When a JW uses this one, it means they have accepted as factual and damning the dirty but true secrets of the WTS!!! But since the person can't disprove the facts (about WTS), and can't argue against the significance of those facts, instead has to pretend that the Dirty, Evil Watchtower Empire is totally different and unrelated to JWs!!!

Uh, yeah. Right. Whatever.

I guess when JWs tell each other they have to "Stick with The Organization" and "Be Thankful to Jehovah for His Earthly Organization" and when discussing the various JW prohibitions, ask each other "Well, what does THE SOCIETY have to say? Brother, do you know what THE SOCIETY says? Let's look to [the Society publication] Watchtower to see what Jehovah is telling us through His Channel, The Society", I guess THE SOCIETY doesn't mean the WTS Watch Tower Society? Means something else, then? hhhmmm?

Furthermore, by simple extension of your claim, I guess your local congregation can simply stop reading WTS publications and start publishing their own "JW" books and magazines. By your logic, that would be fine, right? What's that? So say if you, as a JW, supposedly distinct and separate from the WTS, were to try to substitute your own writings for the WTS writings, that you'd be disfellowshipped faster than you can say "not following the teaching set forth by Jehovahs slave"???? Oh really. Well, what does that tell you, hhhmmm?

Seriously, I'm offended by a JW insulting my intelligence by trying the threadbare "JWs not same as Society" argument. If you want to believe it, to prevent the mental discord which will wake you from your slumber, fine. But don't be surprised if no one else buys your ridiculous, ad hoc excuse.

This forum seems to be helping me immensely! What great enlightenment can offer besides empty words.

All of you have fallen into his trap. You have provided an audience (and replies) to which he doesn't deserve. My advice for future trolls such as this is...do not post any replies to this sort of drivel. Let him wonder how many read his post but not one gave him the satisfaction of a response. BP

Stop wasting everyones time with foolish word play. People are here because they came to realise that associating with the Watchtower Society has nothing to do with being a Witness of Jehovah. If you are a "Jehovah's witness" that is not part of the Watchtower Society then what is your issue?

More importantly, if you believe the Bible, why do you have your head firmly buried in the Old Testament. Did not Jesus say

Acts 1:8 “YOU will be witnesses of me (Jesus) both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de´a and Sa·mar´i·a and to the most distant part of the earth.”

I smell a troll. and I smell troll skat. Why don't they quit preaching to the converted? If any of us still wanted to be watchliar drones, we would still be. So far, newbie hasn't answered any of our questions, rebuttals, or arguments. My message to newbie...if you are happy where you are, stay there, and leave the rest of us alone. Now go get ready for the Service (covert preaching methods) meeting, like a good little boy, or it's 'no Dairy Queen ice cream for you, young man, and STOP TOUCHING YOURSELF IN THE BACK SEAT'.

My replies are not to provide him with an audience. They are for lurkers who might be wondering if what he wrote is true or not. I think that is the case for many people who respond to JW apologists (whom some like to refer to as "trolls"). There are over 25,000 members on this site, with an average of about 300 new registrations each month (about 10 per day) many of whom never post a word - they just read.

I was just about to agree with BP when I read your post:

Yep, a response is definitely in order in consideration of the above. Heaven knows how much I have benefited through reading the excellent intelligently put together posts against JW apologists. Yours have been many!

Love,

I just think it is discussing you would take God's name in vain - how dare you call yourself Grissom?!

As brother grissom6471 writes, there is a legal difference between Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watch Tower Publishing conglomerate. Is there no legal connection at all? Does that make the apparent connection illegal?

But what's the effective difference and how does that difference work? And how is the separation defined? Is there a spiritual separation as well?

Comical post brother grissom6471. Thanks for the laugh.
