But what about the idea that JWs have experienced more growth than these other religions and thus this shows they have God's blessing. Therfore they must be God's organization. This is what type of claims are made in the Proclaimers book as regards other religions or splinter-groups compared to JWs.
There are more than one billion Muslims on the planet. They are growing by leaps and bounds.

Dude... that makes the Mormons more right than the JWs.

My reply: Actually Pentecostals I beleive are a faster growing relgion than JWs. And Islam is growing at a much more rapid pace than the JW.
If you want to say growth is an indcator how about Walmart!
Here is a thought......
Spirituality/Personal Religious interpretation is individual
Fellowship isn't always based point by point agreements on religious interpretations so much as common goals and standards.
Example: My brother was only allowed friendships with other JWs. The other JWboys his age were Elderkids who did and sold drugs, compare this to his RCC friend who led a fairly pious life. ....... which do you think is better 'fellowship'?
The WTS doesn't own sole property rights to 'good association'.
The RCC boy was of 'like mind' in the sense he believed the Bible had importance in guiding our lives, Jesus is the Messiah, etc...
Do me a favor when you get a chance... click on my user name, go to "topics started" by me and read my very first thread...my very first post. You'll see yourself in my first post. Read the rest of the thread. You'll see that I was accused of being a troll. And you'll see people who sincerely tried to help.
I can say that I relate to where you were when you made your first post. I'll have to review that soon.
SINS: Are you realizing that you have been told sooo many lies? Is time to test everything. GOOGLE is divine, was given us by Holly Spirit. So now start typing every Fact that the JWs told you and see if it is true.

Now keep going, ask our oracle and have fun
Ok, lets see with your brotherhood: Call 10 different JWs at least some Elders and tell them the exact questions you have posted here. Tell them you have doubts. How about sending them an email. Wait and see what kind of responses you will get. Guess what would happen? How many responses would you get? How soon until the Elders meet with you to help you with your questions..... and wait till the end of the meeting and see how you feel.
I'd love to do this but think I'd be shooting myself in the foot. Is there a more subtle way to do this that would not result in meeting with the elders?

But that's the point...
Some brotherhood you have there, if you're afraid to go to them with your doubts and questions without fear of being pulled into a tribunal on charges of apostacy.
Either way you are gonna end up here in this board! haha
For how long did the "ring" ringed?
Have you watched the Matrix? If so, go and watch it again, I think you need that right now. As difficult as it is to realize it, it was all a fantasy.
