my personal definition of a 'religious fanatic' is a person who believes that their religion is the only one that has the truth.
all other religions are considered apostate or the work of satan.
any attempt to present alternative views is met with either outright dismissal, or else pre-programmed answers supporting their current religion.
We still have some die-hards that will ask someone if they believe in the trinity just so they
can forcefully and argumentatively tell them how wrong they are.
Maybe the only good thing about directing people to the website is they might dial back on the doorstep fanaticism.

The elders can't look after the flock now, so what would make you think they would be any better at it during an apocalypse.(zombie or otherwise)
after going through all the processes of how they appointed elders in the past they say this:.
"the elders in turn would inform the newly appointed men of their appointment, asking them if they were willing and actually qualified to accept the assignment.
so after qualifying the man you ask him if he is qualified.. .
Ministerial servants is just a fine sounding title for elder's bitches.
watchtower uses the following twisted logic to equate receiving a blood transfusion, with feeding on blood:.
feeding is sometimes done by injecting nutrients intravenously.. blood transfusions are carried out by injecting blood intravenously.. therefore the intravenous injecting of blood can be equated with feeding intravenously.. hence, true christians refuse blood transfusions in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from blood".. now notice how the same kind of twisted logic leads to the equating of an invasive examination by a gynecologist, with sexual intercourse:.
sexual intercourse is often done by inserting the penis into the vagina.. certain invasive examinations by a gynecologist is done by inserting an instrument into the vagina.. therefore such invasive gynecological examinations can be equated with sexual intercourse.. hence, true christians refuse such gynecological examinations that are performed by someone to whom they're not married, in order to obey the biblical command to "abstain from fornication".. it's the same kind of twisted reasoning, isn't it?
Yes I imagine back in good ole bible days that the GB like to pretend to base all their cockamamie rules on,
a woman could have been stoned to death for letting anyone other than her "husbandly owner"get anywhere near her va jay-jay.
But as we all know it is JW perogative to decide which camel to gulp down and which gnat to strain.

I can't see why they would want to distance themselves from this stuff it's gold.
Why not embrace it and create a theme park based on it they could call it Beth Sham.
Wow, I can see it now with Big A roller coaster and everything.
i just found out that a good friend of mine has past,after a long sickness.
she had the strength and the moral fibre to call herself a servant of the most high.
don,t look into your own inflictions for it is a path well traveled lited with broken life's but look at the good that you can do right now.
"servant of the most high"?
Maybe you meant servant of the GB.
Either way, sorry for your loss.
What the witnesses call "studying" most other people would call indoctrination.
They make-up h-hum I mean write the materia,l they ask the questions, they provide the word for word answers.
Yup, let it be known:
He who writes the book determines the story!
AND YOU MUST AGREE!

This question alone is a big red flag that maybe this holy spirit thing is just a little bit bullshit.

So lying about "qualifying" won't disqualify someone but telling the truth about your own flaws will.

They have created a state of perpetual "imminence" of Great Trib.
