Do JWs fear God or the organization? Can they distinguish between the two?

  This is an interesting topic. JW's will say they fear god, but essentially, they fear the organization, because the organization is what affects them RIGHT NOW. The organization has the power and control and can do things to them, as they say "in the name of god".

  If they could only stand back and view the entire picture, they would no doubt be thinking more reasonably and rationally about everything.

  The vast majority of us fears men, mere men. We fear the 'what will they say', 'what will they think'; we fear the shunning by family and friends.
