=====
First, I don't respect messages and messengers that include WTBTS in their messages. We are Jehovah's Witnesses, not members of the Watchtower Society.
=====
Wrong, Wrong, *WRONG*, anasazi, you are wrong.
Proof: The second question asked of all baptismal candidates, since about 1985, is: "Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?"
The "organization" (ie WTBTS) is part and parcel with your beliefs; perhaps you forgot about that? Maybe you need a reminder of exactly what Jehovah's Witnesses actually believe? Sounds like you are unfamiliar.

As I make my way through this train wreck, it gets more and more weird:
=====
I have no complaints against the WTS I have no dealings with them. Are all of you Bethelites? That is the only way that you can have complaints against the WTS. If you were not Bethelites, you don't have dealings with the WTS, only the local congregation. They are not the same.
======
Once again, **WRONG**. The Jehovah's Witness religion is a CENTRALLY CONTROLLED religion. None of the elder's bodies are independent; rather they are strictly controlled by the central headquarters.
Proof:
- elder appointments must be approved by the Circuit Overseer (a travelling representative of the WTBTS) and also be approved by the Service Committee at Bethel
- the elders have an extensive rulebook/guidebook on exactly how to go everything. This book is published by WTBTS. It is called "Pay Attention To Yourselves And To All The Flock". You can read a copy here: http://watchtower.greatnow.com/.
- elders constantly receive instruction from WTBTS headquarters in the form of letters addressed "To the local body of elders".
There are more proofs, but this should be sufficient.
Sheesh, anasazi, for a JW apologist, you should at least become familiar with the basic tenets of the faith!

Hey my JWD buds....................
I have no idea what a Watchtower doctrine is. But I do know that people use use such terms as "Watchtower Doctrine" etc are nothing but apostates, opposers and Watchtower bashers. But they don't get the point that we are Jehovah's Witnesses.
Doesn't this sort of lunacy by anasasi make you happy you are able to think for yourself and have made the decission to be no part of anything that someone like this belongs to?
To those of you who have to stick with it for family reasons.........I give a bow for your patience. I can only imagine what it is like to have to associate with this sort of personality. Then again.............I associated with this type of idiot for years!
Anisasi...................you will be long gone...............and all of us..............and many new ones will still be here. Time for you to get a life dude!
But who knows............if you stick around.........one day your posts might make sense once you learn the truth about the troof.
