I have also noticed that almost every chance they get they are saying we have to follow them, not Jesus or Jehovah but the FS. To me it is very scary especially when you have family in. To much like Jim Jones.

Good point, LITS. It is disturbingly Jim Jonesish, and that is truly frightening. Here you have a group of people already willing to die for the cause by rejecting blood transfusions when needed. They have proven that they are very deeply malleable already. Partaking in some Kool-Aid would only require one more smallish mental jump. Yikes!

if they felt people was 100% obedient they would not have to tell them why they should be obedient in every issue.

This is no more than the same Freemasonry technique of getting people to stop any "independent thinking" or any type of organizational criticism. To me it seems escalated because of the internet success of so many "apostate" sites, discussion groups and YouTube participants.
Not that it matters, but in passing, the Bible clearly notes that organized religion is not the true path, only individual insight. That is, the BROAD ROAD leading to destruction is the group policy, meaning following the crowd directed by some religious sect leaders. True knowledge and insight must come from self examination and understanding of scripture, which in turn, means you have to have the fortitute to go down the "narrow and cramped path" that few are finding. Though they characterize themselves as the narrow path compared to Christendom, the narrow path represents individual focus rather than group focus. They can hardly claim they are not a broad road; no organized religion can.
The other "code" Scripture for deifying the WTS is to "gather yourselves together" as Armageddon approaches. Of course, leaving the WTS does not mean you have to stop networking with others of common belief. After all, coming to a discussion group and participating, such as this one, qualifies for "gathering yourself together."! After all, don't these discussion boards still challenge our insights, make us think, and teach us some new things or new viewpoints? Don't they broaden our knowledge? They do. So even if you disagree with others, it is still stimulating and I believe positive. Bottom line, each individual has to defend their own faith before others and before God. The WTS creates back-seaters who do no more than put their trust in the Watchtower for all the answers but seldom really seek those answers or challenge them.
So in a way, the WTS is serving those who love the darkness and the spiritually lazy.
The WTS claims to be the only "light" but Satan constantly transforms himself into an angel of light as well.
It's time to leave the "broad road" leading off into destruction. Getting into the kingdom is an individual thing, not part of any group policy, at least not after 1996 when both the Jewish and JW special covenants ended.

These articles would be easier to digest if they didn't talk out of both sides of their mouth. They go to great lengths to show how God is guiding them, yet deny that they are inspired when taken to task for their errors.

Notice how it is :WE today are not asked: not YOU today are not asked: so they want it to appear that this is not THEM saying it, them being the gb. And notice how the writer makes THEM appear a humble group when he says (obviously with the permission of the gb) he has delegated SOME authority to A faithful slave class. Just more Shite from the boys at the top.
Here is one of them. Are you impressed?

This was from a story of a young boy (pictured) who was granted a wish to have a trip to bethel. I forget the exact problem that he has but it is one of those make a wish foundation or such.
