For JW's, the 'ORG' is more important than Jesus Christ

    In the November 2022 Study Watchtower, "Jehovah's organization" (or variants) is repeated at least 37 times.

    The word 'organization' - like 'governing body,' 'trinity,' hell-fire,' & 'immortal soul,' - doesn't exist in the holy Scriptures.

    Interestingly, Jesus Christ is mentioned only twice in all of the study articles - as an aside.

    Not surprising.

    WT theology is centered on the WT organization.

    In WT teaching, you can come to Jehovah without coming to Jesus (Jesus is in heaven and you can't have any personal relationship with him), but you can't come to Jehovah without coming to his organization.

    The WT mindset is also that to be loyal to the organization is to be loyal to Jehovah and to leave the organization is to leave Jehovah.

    That's right because you cannot come to know the truth unless you go through the GB ( WT 81 12/1 page 27) -it doesn't matter the Jesus said he was the Way, The Truth, and the Life.

    As a child, I asked my PIMI dad elder why we didn't talk very much about Jesus. Years later WTC released the Greates Man book. It seemed like a genuine effort to bring Jesus back into the lexicon. It was short-lived and he is back on the sidelines. Why?

    I suppose that his teachings were an indictment of what WTC was doing. The more we heard about Jesus, the more unfavorable WTC was in my mind. I could be wrong - but that is how I felt as a young person.

    I believe that the real reason why Jesus doesn't have a real place in the the 'Truth' today, is because Jesus' main message was for people to develop righteous qualities. If he had banged on about salvation through a individuals preaching efforts, the GB would have been all over him ... as they are with the Apostle Paul.

    There is even a kingdom song praising the GB (2.0) [this never happened when 1.0 (Sidlik, Schroeder, Swingle, Barr, etc.) were alive and in operation]. Many other dubs (SPIMIs) have remarked that 2.0 "are to be praised for their efforts on behalf of the Organization" and other like-minded comments. This is in actuality MAN-MADE HERO WORSHIP, and not actual worship of The Almighty God as this cultporation claims to do.

    They diminish Jesus because they see him as competition. Jesus is a mediator, a path between the Christian and God. The GB see themselves in this role. They are Jehovah's conduit, not anyone else. When they refer to "Jehovah's organization" they are referring to themselves. Without them, there is no path to salvation.

    Jesus gets in the way of their claimed role and authority. So they try to marginalize him.

    They're on the grift.

    They want money and power.............and drink so that TOMO can remain slurring his words in a drunken stupor.

    Their brainwashing has worked so far.

    A lot of Jobots can't see the line between the Organisation(tm) and Jehovah(tm).

I used to notice that when I commented on the weekly WT Study, how little Jesus was mentioned in the publications, even their songbook. Jesus is being written out of the narrative.

    Think of the org as a brokerage scam, where they have muscled out Jesus at set themselves up in his place.

    Greedy middlemen, skimmers.
