  "At that time, the lifesaving direction that we receive from Jehovah’s organization may not appear practical from a human standpoint. All of us must be ready to obey any instructions we may receive, whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not."

  Watchtower 2022 Feb pp.2-7

  During the great tribulation, we may receive instructions that seem strange, impractical, or illogical. Of course, Jehovah will not speak to us personally. He will likely provide direction through his appointed representatives. That will hardly be the time to second-guess the direction or to view it with skepticism

  LIAM:

  Thanks for the compliment but I may have had an advantage because I wasn’t raised in the JW religion!

  Sometimes the so-called ‘world’ doesn’t like critical thinkers either especially if it’s calling into question somebody’s agenda!!

  Back several decades ago when the Witness religion seemed ‘more scholarly’ , many intelligent people got involved.. In time, some of them became disillusioned when all was not what it seemed.. Others stuck around because of that word ‘loyalty’. They were and are captive because of it. Everybody leaves for different reasons. Even though I was persona non grata because I worked full-time, the last straw for me was the 1995 Generation change. I was done with it.

  The word ‘loyalty’ didn’t enter my mind at that point because I didn’t believe anything the religion said anymore.

  "Loyalty".

  Its a very,, very loaded term.

  Everything between shunning family members,, to refusing a lifesaving blood transfusion.

  And everything in between.

  I remember the whole " Remain Loyal convention " about 6-7 years ago, was shortly after the new understanding of the faithful slave.

  A general rule of thumb when dealing the WTS is whenever you see the term Loyal , it is usually a dogmatic flip flop just happened or someone is getting arrested.
