I was offered MS at my last Cong. By that time I had already lost all belief in the Bible. Meetings were irregular. Didn’t turn in feild reports for more than six months . Just quit one day and never went back.

Bible canon conundrums
by joey jojo inthis is a topic that i find really interesting- how the bible, in particular, the new testament was compiled and how the jw organisation strives to negate, scoff at and diminish the influence of the catholic church in its development.. here is the official stance of the org: .
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/library/r1/lp-e/all-publications/watchtower/the-watchtower-1963/april-15.
'the roman catholic church claims responsibility for the decision as to which books should be included in the canon, and reference is made to the councils of hippo (a.d. 393) and carthage (a.d. 397), where catalogues of books were formulated.

I was born into a Catholic family. Believed the Bible was the word of God. Found the CC wasn’t following the Bible and left off going to church by the time I was 20.
A JW at my place of work began telling me truths about theCC and I fell for their BS. But I still hesitated to join them as a lot of what they said didn’t make sense. Stayed away from them but kept in contact with the JW who initiated me into their bs.
Fast forward about 23 years and he gave the the revelation book. I read it and felt it was the Truth Decided to get baptized. In 2008. Seven years later I figured out it was all BS. Walked away. And Guess what. The man who brought me in? He’s walked away too. Took me two years . He was shocked at what he discovered . Now he is free too. That is irony for you!

please dont think I am trying to insult you but you sound like a broken heart who is desperately trying to kiss and make up with the GB and your congregation .
What happens to your theories when a vaccine is discovered and Covid - 19 becomes another commonplace virus?
How many more times will you try fitting a cliched round peg into a hole squared by the GB? All scriptures quoted by you has It’s copyrighted original with the GB . Just quibbling with their interpretation- and insinuating yours- renders the whole thing doubly dubious and insultingly puerile. Insulting puerile to our intelligence I mean. If you are so confident your interpretation of the scriptures is right what will you have to say once you are proven wrong.will you have the moral courage to appear here and say that your conjectures were wrong based on hubris rather than any real divine insight or will you - like your paramour the GB - make excuses like “I am really disappointed that this did not come to pass . I will pray to Jim jack and joe for better enlightenment in the future.
Like the GB , either you are a true prophet or a false on. Do you have the moral courage to stand up and declare you will have been a false prophet once your scriptural conjecture vi-a-vis world events do not come to pass?
A prostitute sells her body for money. The GB is the ranking whore that is selling itself for the wealth of the world. You my friend are lying with the whore right now . Arguing, and whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Just to get back into bed with her. Stop being enamored by her charms. To quote your scriptures,”Get out from Among her my people .. for her sins have piled up to the heavens....
here’s hoping you see the true light!!

Has Anything Positive Come Out Of This Coronavirus Isolation For You?
by minimus ini guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.
less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.
if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.

How Is The Governing Body Viewed Today By Jehovah’s Witnesses?
by minimus inare they revered like the pope is to catholics??
back in the 1960s , fred franz and n.h knorr were the only men that counted.
after franz died, the governing body became more of an idolized entity.

If they were representatives of their god why the fcuk would they want anyone else’s prayers . Aren’t they a direct channel to their god? The prophets didn’t need anyone to pray for them. These jokers place themselves in a similar position so why should ordinary rank and file JW’s prayers matter when they have the anointing of big J himself? Never made sense to me.
