But where did I find this transcript? An "apostate" website. Because of information control, no good JW will see things unless they're on mainstream news.

JW defense fail
by neat blue dog init's a little long, but if you have a chance, read this court transcript of a sleazy jw lawyer's interaction with a judge and others.
in the course of defending wt, he uses theocratic warfare non-stop, but the court sees right through him and it's both pathetic and infuriating:.

Do these settlement amounts ever "leak" out?
What I would love is a law that requires non-profits to announce at all public meetings the amounts of any court judgments and also out of court settlements.

Echo what Diogenesister said:
Definitely read up on JWfacts.com
This will arm you with facts that can prevent you being suckered back in or even being on the fence. There are many valuable topics on the site, but I recommend focusing on JW's core teachings, the ones that make them unique. If these are beyond all doubt false, then they have nothing to stand on.

What’s The Worst Thing You Have Heard About A JW?
by minimus inthere was a guy that became an elder and he was a father of 8 children including 4 or 5 girls.
he was a little bit on the self righteous side and would counsel people a lot, especially families about how they could be better witnesses.
one day his wife dropped a bombshell!!!

We live and work by a strict moral code based on the word of God and the Bible which shares many common principles with the Jehovah’s Witness faith although we have no affiliation with any religious domination.
Hard to tell if this is typical JW doubletalk, considering they go on to say:
Our funerals only now take place at a Kingdom Hall because we are a specialist provider existing to serve Jehovah’s Witnesses. We don’t have to try and adapt to accommodate your needs because we understand and are like minded.

Highlights from Book Studies: Other Sheep & Disfellowshipping
by neat blue dog ina couple of highlights from recent "congregation bible studies" (book studies):.
in one chapter of the jesus book, they spin the part that disproves the "earthly hope" into saying the exact opposite of what is obvious:.
“most truly i say to you, i am the door for the sheep.

Back when I first started questioning the WTS, I decided to read the New Testament (using the NWT) straight through, without the use of any WT publication. That was the point I decided they were completely wrong.
Yes, me too! That was THE turning point.

JWs need their safe space (recent WT quote)
by neat blue dog inwhen people complain of being victimized by god's organization, it's actually you, faithful jw, who are the victim, because you're forced to hear it!
don't worry, just go to your safe space, put on the industrial sized headphones that special kids use and repeat calming mantras to yourself .
.. we may be disturbed by false stories that opposers spread about us.

we may be disturbed by false stories that opposers spread about us. We may think about the reproach these reports bring on Jehovah’s name and his organization. At such times, Jehovah’s words are of great comfort to us. We need not be unduly anxious. We can be sure that “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard [our] hearts and [our] mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6, 7)

A couple of highlights from recent "Congregation Bible Studies" (Book Studies):
In one chapter of the Jesus book, they spin the part that disproves the "earthly hope" into saying the exact opposite of what is obvious:
“Most truly I say to you, I am the door for the sheep. All those who have come in place of me are thieves and plunderers; but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the door; whoever enters through me will be saved, and that one will go in and out and find pasturage.”—John 10:7-9.
Clearly, Jesus is introducing something new. His listeners know that he is not the door to the Law covenant, which has existed for centuries. So he must be saying that the sheep he ‘leads out’ are to enter another sheepfold. With what result?
Jesus does not end the matter there, though. He observes: “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; those too I must bring in, and they will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock, one shepherd.” (John 10:16) These “other sheep” are “not of this fold.” Hence, they must be of yet another fold, different from the “little flock” who will inherit the Kingdom. These two folds, or pens of sheep, have different destinies.As long as they're using the word "clearly", what's really clear is that Jesus is saying that the sheep come from two different folds (almost everyone knows this to be Jews and non-Jews), but then it plainly says EVERYONE enters through the ONE door of Jesus to become ONE flock. However they reverse the origination and the destination, saying they will end up in two different places as two flocks, contradicting scripture.
Now onto another chapter, about the blind man who was healed by Jesus but then thrown out of the synagogue:
The Pharisees cannot accept that Jesus gave sight to the man who was born blind, so they call in his parents. The parents know that they face the possibility of being “expelled from the synagogue.” (John 9:22) Such cutting off of fellowship from other Jews would have severe social and economic consequences for the family.
The Pharisees ask two questions: “Is this your son who you say was born blind? How, then, does he now see?” The parents reply: “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind. But how it is that he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know.” Even if their son had told them what had happened, the parents are cautious as to how they respond and say: “Ask him. He is of age. He must speak for himself.”—John 9:19-21.
Hence, the Pharisees call the man back and intimidate him by claiming that they have evidence against Jesus.This story is then applied to JWs getting 'persecuted' out in service or otherwise having a hard time. But the far more obvious correlation is disfellowshipping! They must be totally un-self-aware to write these paragraphs, because it sounds like a condemnation of their own practices, right down to the social consequences, intimidation and looking for evidence.

Pete:
I agree with you 100%, but the comparison is valid when you take into account not only the idolatrous adulation the r&f have for the org, but the mindset they accuse Christians of having towards the Cross.
