  Nice list. Here are a couple more:

  The "Faithful slave" has to read about "new light" in the Watchtower, just like everyone else!

  I was in Bethel when "New light" was coming out (the generation thing). As Bethelites we could read the magazines weeks before they were shipped. We were told to not spoil it for the congregations by leaking the new light before everyone gets their Watchtowers. One of the congregations I attended while there had an elderly annointed one. Out of curiosity I spoke with her to see if she had any clue what it might be. Nope, she was clueless. Shortly thereafter I came across another elderly annointed gal in my home state while at a DC there. I asked her a few questions to see if she knew anything. Conclusion: The annointed remnant is guided by....... Brooklyn Bethel! The idea that the "faithful slave" i.e. the annointed remnant scatter among the congregations, receives guidance from Jah or has any input into what is published IS PURE BONK!

  If God always had an organization to guide mankind why did he choose the Catholic Church to assemble the Bible Canon in the 4th century?

  Don't you think he would have used his organization instead??

  Well the WTBTS got number 3 right, ONE out of 27 aint bad, I cant even bring myself to say the P word !!!

  Terry you could not make it up, and your points are just the tip of the Iceberg, but the SOCIETY knows every trick in the book.

  RULE 1 The society is always right.

  RULE 2 If the society is wrong, rule 1 applies.

  No wonder they discourage education.

  3. Prohibition laws against alcohol are the Devil's work

  Actually, they were right about this one.

  Pathetically wrong about Hitler, though...

  Good list Terry, I hope it awakens some people up to the factual reality of what the WTS/JWS have been doing in the past one hundred years.

  This was the main reason I left the organization so many years ago, particularly after I witnessed what their 1975 dating had done to people.

  The game of god is created and designed by so many diverse individuals for their own procuring good .

  All you need to create your very own game is a little bit of money and ambition and the support from a government to open the door for you.

  You're quoting from information published early in the 20th century when Jehovah's Organization was in its early developmental stages.
  
  http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020608/article_01.htm
  Both science and religion, in their noblest forms, involve the search for truth. Science discovers a world of magnificent order, a universe that contains distinctive marks of intelligent design.
  
  Jehovah's Witnesses are sincere truth seekers. Information published by Jehovah's Witnesses has a consistent pattern of corresponding to universal truth.
  it-2 p. 603 Perfection
  
  The Bible’s Perfection: The Sacred Scriptures constitute a perfect message from God, refined, pure, and true. (Ps 12:6; 119:140, 160; Pr 30:5; Joh 17:17) Though thousands of years of copying have evidently brought some variations from the original writings, these variations are admittedly very minor, so that, even if our present copies and translations are not absolutely flawless, the divine message conveyed is.
  
  When a person loses Jehovah's holy spirit and goes so far as to deviate into apostasy, they become spiritually bankrupt and all that bleeds through are any imperfections that can be exploited for self-serving purposes.
  
  But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. Matthew 24:48-51
  
  Case in point, if the flaws weren't there, this wouldn't change your desire to be a part of Jehovah's Organization.

  “12. Reading the bible is not as good as reading Watchtower explanations of the bible.”
  
  Where do you get this?

  The official claims about Pastor Russell's tome Studies in the Scriptures were that it was clearly superior to learning God's plan for salvation

  than years of bible alone and that if you stopped reading it you would be plunged into darkness.

  Take an objective look at what Jehovah's Witnesses call BIBLE STUDY and you'll see it consists of reading WATCHTOWER PUBLICATIONS and only using

  the bible as proof texts.

  This is a clear elevation of their own ideas above scripture.
