Duncan,
An excellent analysis. Well written and thought provoking. Thank you.
So, having read through all this stuff, I honestly believe any reasonable and unbiased observer would reach the same conclusionas me: that there’s no argument too ridiculous, no proposition too bizarre, no untruth too flagrant, no lie too barefaced, that the Watchtower won’t stoop to use it in defending its interests.
Thousands of "lurking" Jehovah's Witnesses are reading your post Duncan.
I hope that they, with a sense of honor and respect for the real "truth", shed their biases and read your post with an open mind. All it takes for light to illuminate a darkened room is for the door to open just a crack.
No-one here "hates" Jehovah's Witnesses, at least not those in their right mind. To do so would be irrational, given our own histories. What we are trying to is to get you "lurkers" to understand that in the grand scheme of things, your lives are of no consequence to the religious corporation you work for and which influences every aspect of your lives. In the final event, they will float you down a dangerous river if needed, in order to protect the interests of the corporation, a corporation which they have elevated above the influence of the very God they claim to serve.
The WTS is a cult struggling to become a religion. It may get there in the end, but meanwhile too much pain is being caused to too many people for a good conscience to bear.
