The flaw in the JW argument is that in the following chapter Isaiah 10:21 - 23 the Lord Almighty is also referred to as Mighty God

As a JW how would you answer this if someone brought it up in the ministry?
by NikL inas a jw i pretty much just went along with what was taught from the platform i didn't do any real bible study.
as a result, now that i am out of the org.
i find scriptures that blow my mind.. i am not sure how i would have reacted if someone had pointed this out to me when i was a jw but now i can't believe i've never noticed this before.

In the 70's one Friday evening after work with my friend Simon:
Simon: "Good Morning, sorry Good Afternoon, sorry, I mean, Good Evening."
Householder, closing door: "Good night!"
I still chuckle forty years on.

Fantastic video, well done, without discussing the flawed doctrine and theology you are brilliantly exposing the cultish nature and human damage wreaked by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.

Some wise advice above from people who've exited successfully!
When I began my fade a concerned elder approached me, when confronted I simply told him I was taking a sabbatical from meetings...but why..I'm just taking a sabbatical...end of conversation.
Be polite but firm, you haven't got to answer any questions at all as to your beliefs, if you want to be a little mischievous you could say you've reallocated the time spent at meeting to reading Russell and Rutherford's books to get a better understanding of the history of the organisation and you've found it really interesting, perhaps they would too!
So my advice is simply go off the radar, like any other club or association resignation is not necessary, you simply stop going or paying your dues.

15,177 partakers, 7.5% increase over previous year, if this growth rate is maintained it will take 32 years for the number of partakers to reach 153,552.

“An Uncomfortable History”
“The Report of the Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse reveals an uncomfortable history of Ireland,” says The Irish Times. According to the newspaper, this report uncovers a history stained by the systematic abuse of children in Catholic religious institutions, ranging from “beating children whose crime it was that lice had infested their heads” to sustained sexual abuse. The abuse was ignored because of misguided loyalty to “the absolute authority of the Catholic Church,” says the paper. “Shame on You, Government and Church,” said a headline in the Times, quoting the words of one who sympathized with the victims.
