Paragraph 7
If God "has appointed Jesus as Judge; hence, we do not have the right to judge anybody."
How they do the elders have the right to judge and how does the WTS have the right to make this statement:
*** w89 9/1 p. 19 par. 7 Remaining Organized for Survival Into the Millennium ***Only Jehovah’s Witnesses, those of the anointed remnant and the "great crowd," as a united organization under the protection of the Supreme Organizer, have any Scriptural hope of surviving the impending end of this doomed system dominated by Satan the Devil. (Revelation 7:9-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4) They will make up the "flesh" that Jesus Christ said would be saved through the worst tribulation of all human history.
Paragraph 8
Servants of Jehovah - rather than Christians?
Paragraph 9
"become true Christians" = become jws as they are the only true Christians per the WTS
*** w53 9/15 p. 555 Creating Counterfeit Christianity ***Counterfeit Christians are spectators. Genuine Christians are a "theatrical spectacle to the world" because they preach, not watch. Paul invited all to imitate him as such. (1 Cor. 4:9, 16, NW) Therefore the genuine worship of Jehovah cannot be a "balcony religion," where worshipers watch and observe while someone else does the work. But every genuine Christian must boldly play his part as a preacher of the good news while the scene of this old world still remains, "for the scene of this world is changing" and will pass away at Armageddon.—1 Cor. 7:31; 1 John 2:17, NW.
This "change of scenes" means a new world is near. (2 Pet. 3:13) Who will live to see it? Only true Christians. Imitation Christians may flourish, yes, but only until Armageddon. Of the wheat (true Christians) and weeds (imitations) Jesus said: "Let both grow together until the harvest." "The harvest is a consummation of a system of things, and the reapers are angels." (Matt. 13:30, 39, NW) The crop of "weeds" that Christendom has raised under its unscriptural clergy and laity system will be cast into the fiery furnace of destruction at Armageddon. And hurled into the abyss of death will be that chief counterfeiter, that sham sovereign, Satan the Devil. (Rev. 20:1-3)
Does the WTS teach that they must preach to ALL?
*** w00 1/15 p. 13 par. 17 "Keep on the Watch" ***
Fifth,weseeaglobalpreachingworkbeingaccomplished,whichJesussaidwouldtakeplacejustbeforetheendofthissystem. Jesus stated: "This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) Today, that prophecy is in the course of fulfillment on an unprecedented scale. True, untouched territories still exist, and it may be that in Jehovah’s due time, a large door leading to greater activity will open. (1 Corinthians 16:9) Nevertheless, the Bible does not state that Jehovah will wait until every individual on earth has received a personal witness. Rather, the good news must be preached to Jehovah’s satisfaction. Then the end will come.—Compare Matthew 10:23.
Paragraph 10
What about jws raised in the organization that are "violent bullies" wife and child beaters, violent drunkards, spiritual abusers of the sheep?
Paragraph 11
jws are trained to target people with serious life problems, a very cult-like behavior; serious illness, job loss, death of a loved one....to focus on the paradise earth without death and illness.
Paragraph 12
Once again classifying and judging other people appears to be a human tendency.
"weak"
"Bad association"
"disruptive"
"disobedient"
and other terms used by jws and elders towards other jws.
Paragraph 13
Do jws assume someone is not worthy of their time..........yes, inside and outside the congregation.
Paragraph 14
How many jws give up on rvs that aren't home, don't start studying right away, don't change non-jw behaviors fast enough, don't come to the meetings soon enough, doesn't the WTS teach its members to drop people who don't make the proper progress?
Paragraph 15
Witnessing to unbelieving family members---a captive audience that they hound. It took 37 years to help this relative...but remember that they could put all that time and pubs on their time slip. How much time do jws spend in helping already baptized members?
Paragraph 16
Hesitate to speak---it is against the muslim law to proseltize....focus on relatives because little progress is being made d2d.
Paragraph 17
"honesthearted" a judgment word...if a person doesn't listen to a jw are they "honesthearted"?
How many older people are turned on by what they read in a WT book. Isn't it the Bible that speaks for Jesus?
Paragraph 18
This woman had many life problems....she was probably told she would see both her husband and sons again, that her home would not be burned down, and that no rape in the new system. I wonder if she had been gang-raped as a jw that she knows that she would have had to scream or be found guilty of fornication/adultery? Another concept but not a hope the WTS says is in the Bible.

Paragraph 19
Urgency..more pressing....near
rightly disposed ones--only people who listen to, study with, and are baptized as a jw
Paragraph 20
Do jws preach "without letup"? Is a meager 2 hours a week indication of the urgency jws supposedly feel?
"perservering"
And what kind of teachers are jws; merely reading the paragraph in the book and having the "student" parrot the answer from the paragraph. Can either really use the scriptures to explain or describe what they believe? jws know that they will get their everlasting life whether they make one convert or not.
