Thanks for all the comments. Instead of getting into a debate, I'm just going to state the objective of this thread in a single sentence:
The objective is to get people to think: "I DON'T deserve it!" and actually do something about it. That's all

This is for all JW's out there...

sorry to be so blunt, but you only have yourself to blame if you realize something is wrong but allow your cognitive dissonance to kick in.
if you are confronted with facts which are reported by reliable sources which are hard to dispute and deny, and you choose to dismiss these as "apostate lies" rather than looking at these from an objective point of view, it's your fault and you deserve the consequences of willful ignorance!.

Agreed, it might seem to be ignorant. But sometimes harshness is good to make people aware of the situation they are in. If you are unhappy in life as a result of having your life being controlled by others or because of other issues, and you come across something direct which forced you to confront reality & tells you that things can be different if you would only empower yourself to do something about it, could it possibly trigger you to think about what you could do to make a change?
This post is direct & straight to the point for a reason - to trigger people to think about their situation in life & hopefully empower them to make a positive change

What a person can or cannot do would depend on personal circumstances. My point is that if you are stuck in a unhappy situation, then you should work towards doing something about it instead of blaming othersDivergent. That is way too harsh. People have much to lose. Entire families and lifetime networks. This is no way to deal with some who are really struggling. What if some curious, doubtful JW reads this? They will be terribly upset and likely afraid.

He "became a Jehovah’s Witness after door-knocking “missionaries” visited his Byford home months before his death."
Wait... any proof that he actually became a JW? As in becoming a publisher & getting baptized. Merely being a return visit or a bible study DOESN'T COUNT. Just sayin'...

My thoughts on the last WT study. Keep in Expectation
by StarTrekAngel inso i sat thru another brain mushing session for the sake of family.
it is no myth by now that the more time you spend awake the harder it is the accept that people just take all of this in without asking.
a computer has more reasoning abilities than your average jw at this point.

2 Pet 3: 9 is another similar scripture - "Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.
Wait... so Jehovah supposedly DOES NOT WANT ANY TO BE DESTROYED, but he intentionally wants to make things hard for people to discern so that they will be destroyed???
If Jehovah really didn't want any to be destroyed, he would have made "the truth" MORE CONVINCING, and made the broad road lead to everlasting life & the narrow road lead to eternal destruction. BUT nooooo... he made it the complete opposite!!!This is exactly why I can't believe that this is the truth. It just doesn't make sense!!!
