What I take from the Watchtower's cunning efforts to keep us away from God and his message the gospel.

  From my experience, by telling us ordinary folk Jesus is not our mediator, the Watchtower keeps us from a personal relationship with God. Misdirection.

  Similarly by keeping us away from God's message, the unabridged gospel, the Watchtower keeps us blind, ignorant, subservient, passive, docile and captive. Suppression.

  Because there is a conflict between our "authentic self" and "cult self" mental distress or "cognitive dissonance" arises. This in turn leads to all manner of behavioural and health issues. Oppression. Torture by proxy - hence hard to prove.

  (Why do followers of the Watchtower religion call themselves “publishers of the Good News” whilst unfamiliar with the “Good News” according to Paul, Moses, Isaiah and Psalms?)

  Wonderful observations.

  The Wathctower's main goals are to:

  (1) Keep us from a direct relationship with God and Jesus Christ.

  Which is a complete denial on the entire ministry of Jesus.

  (2) To keep us from reading the Bible on our own and really hearing

  what Jesus was telling us , and from seeing his message to us.

  (3) To prevent us from 'drinking his blood' and 'eating his flesh' and

  really becoming part of the Body of Christ, which has nothing to do

  with any 'organization' or 'faithful and discreet slave class'

  or governing body, or dates or end of the world or destruction.

  (4) They replace freedom in Christ, with slavery. This is anti-Christ.
