    "That is why I believe it is essential to view Bible truths as existing independently of the WTS, though the WTS publications continue to attach themselves to core Bible teachings in such a way as to depict themselves as the medium of such teachings, rather than the Bible."

    The comment above is very interesting. If I understand correctly this is something that Greg Stafford has written. This is usually the first step that one takes in removing themselves from the JWs mentally because clearly the organization teaches that it IS the medium of truth and only it can interpret the bible correctly.

    That comment reminds me of how the WTS used to critize the Catholic Church for not letting its followers read the bible themselves (keeping it in Latin, etc.) hundreds of years ago. Actually the WTS isn't any better and, they make it worse by making its followers feel that they are actually reading the scriptures when they are reading the WTS interpretation....
