The lastest Sept. OKM. demonstrates that the Watchtower is wedded to a belief that can't withstand scrutiny. This has been true in the past and continues to this day. Those who scrutinize, that is, do a close critical observation, soon unwed themselves from the watchtower belief system.
Hopefully this will happen when the Sept. OKM, is reviewed at the hall and in private, in November.
It is sad that some will still remain blind-sided.
BluebladesTake care.
In conjunction with the "Brothers only" edition of the Watchtower I believe you are correct.
I haven't read WT literature in many years - but the stuff I'm reading here is way more cultish than it seemed 25 years ago - of course it has always been a high-control group. Maybe I'm just getting more perspective. Still I find the info about the Sept. KM appalling.
Thank you, Blueblades.

How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.

Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.
Glad to see you in a "good mood" BB!

I think a lot of dubs will just open wide and swallow the medicine, er...kool-aid, er....spritual sh**, er.....you know, without a second thought. It really is sad. I think the only ones that it will affect are the ones that are already questioning...
I could be wrong, have been known to be wrong once or twice..

A comedian by the name of Emo Phillips once did a joke something like this:
"Scientists have discovered that the human brain is the most magnificent working organism in the Universe. (long pause) Well, OF COURSE IT IS! Look at what's telling us that?" (our brain, of course.... >insert hysterical laughter here<)
That's the exact same reasoning the WTS uses.... We're right. How do we know? Read our publications!
I am deeply saddened that many Dubs will read this and feel so protected and genuinely cared for and looked after because of the evil ones out there, ready to subvert their faith. The sad thing is... I don't think any of us want to subvert their faith... we just want them to worship God, and not an organization. Anyone agree?
I've only been out since February 1st and I can tell you from personal experience... I have never in my life "thought" so much. I didn't realize how "dumbed down" I had become. I finally feel like I'm ALIVE.
Love you all!
Amen to that slmdf!
