    Not quite.

    They view loyalty and obedience to the GB-slash-WTS as being equivalent to faithfulness to Jehovah.

    It’s a subtle difference, but a difference nonetheless, and most of them aren’t consciously aware of it.

    More than 200 elders worldwide have now been reached with this document.

    Most elders are deaf. That has never been different.

    For example: How loyal to Jehovah and Jesus were Jehovah's Witnesses on April 4, 2023?

    And how loyal will they be on Sunday, March 24, 2024?

    Absolutely! Which is extremely presumptuous and disgusting as they will keep being vague and ambiguous about what they really think about themselves.

    That is what I was going to say. JWs put Jehovah above all else. But they view the organization as the spokesman for God. In order to be loyal/faithful to Jehovah, you have to be loyal/faithful to the GB, since God put them there as an interface between Himself and humanity.

    They are not God, they are his gatekeepers. You cannot get to God except through them. That... that sounds familiar...

    yes - very strong with single women unfortunately,

    seems to be a need there for support- that they do not really receive from a human touch, so go strong for spiritual , emotional comfort

    PEW research says that 65% of pubs are the women,, yet still second class citizens

    Yes I often get the same sentiments from my father “ how I’ve left Jehovah.” Try as hard as i can I can’t get him to see that I haven’t left Jehovah at all, but have left a publishing company. I digress.

    Say something negative about the GB and it is an immediate conversation stopper.

    Not only an immediate conversation stopper but any dub (SPIMI, especially, within earshot) will be NOTIFYING/INFORMING the cong's BOEs to schedule a JC (within The Backroom or at that dub's residence) for a meeting/shepherding call. A member having doubts or not believing in the GB (2.0, particularly nowadays) is circumspect and considered an automatic apostate.

    It should become increasingly clear to the blind brother and sister that the Governing Body is controlled by something else.

    Wear face masks, keep your distance, take your mRNA shot, Kingdom Halls were used as a Vaccination Center. It was worldwide planned genocide.

    That is ultimate proof that not Jehovah and/or Jesus are driving the Watchtower. But something else. . . .

    That's why "Antony mRNA shot Morris III" had to leave the building.

    My brothers and sisters accept the Satanic jab and refuse the symbols of Jesus' body and blood in a strange ritual.
