My name is Matthew J and I have just ended my study with the Jehovah's Witnesses.
What book did you study? Can you tell us what the book was about? What did you agree or disagree with "these amazing people and phenomenal organization"?

I am a proud Jehovah's Witness Defender
by Matthew Jefferson inmy name is matthew j and i have just ended my study with the jehovah's witnesses.
no, i did not stop studying because i believe the jehovah's witnesses are a 'cult', i left due to the minor beliefs that i hold that remain separate from the organization.
i called my elder who is still an amazing man and great counselor, affirming that i do not wish to continue my studying.

It's amazing how you throw so many superlatives in your post.
Superlative: an admiring sometimes exaggerated expression especially of praise
Can you explain the following?
amazing people
such a phenomenal organization
left due to the minor beliefs that I hold that remain separate from the organization

We had a young 16-year-old baptized female in our congregation who was pronounced ''disfellowshipped'' at our Tuesday night Ministry School meeting. A couple of weeks later everyone knew why!!!! She was fornicating with her ''wordly'' boyfriend.
Who knew besides the elders? Whose wife knew and gossipped? Now, the whole congregation knew she was a 16-year-old fornicator.
Even worse was that her whole family were all at the meetings and left the 16-year-old at home by herself three days a week.

Names or it didn't happen.
In Britain.....What city?
Young woman...What is her first name?
Local Catholic priest...What Parish was he from and what was his first name?
How soon did the priest leave the priesthood and how long did they date before getting married?
O.K. TONY...THE CONGREGATION ENJOYED YOUR FAKE EXPERIENCE BUT SOME OF US ARE SCEPTICAL?

Massachusetts Saturday Afternoon Fall 2005
Here is a talk that Anthony Morris gave at a local congregation in 2005, titled ''Beware of the Birdcatcher.'' He has everyone laughing in stitches in the first fifteen minutes. The congregation loves every minute of his talk. The sad part is that there are many lies and exaggerations throughout the whole talk. Here is one experience that is hard to believe!
A young woman who is studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses shares a brochure with a local Catholic priest. He enjoys what he reads and decides to leave the priesthood. The young woman and the priest soon get married. They both begin a study. The priest comments:
'' What I have learned in a few weeks I could not have learned in 10 years in the Seminary."
Really? The priest resigns, gets married, an learns more from a brochure than years at a Seminary school. Here is what you study at Seminary school:
In seminary, you'll spend your years studying philosophy, Latin, Greek, Gregorian chants, dogmatic and moral theology, exegesis, canon law, and church history, just to get you started. Program length varies based on prior education and the amount of time you can devote to it, but a typical student enrolls in four years of graduate-level theology, and zero to four years of undergraduate philosophy and/or spiritual years.[

Jesus confuses his apostles about baptism

Matthew 28:19, 20 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and do you also understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Today (2019), with the help and direction of the present day Governing Body, everyone who wishes to get baptized understands the true meaning of Matthew 28:19,20.

He seemed very uncomfortable during that talk...did anyone else notice that?
Anthony Morris is acting like a new member at our Kingdom Hall who had to present a five-minute talk in front of the visiting Circuit Overseer sitting near the front row. He was sweating, breathing heavy, shaking, lost his place, and looked like he wanted to get off the stage. He looked very uncomfortable.
“So when they do destroy Babylon the Great and all of this is taking place onearth, you brothers are not going to need a breaking news update. Around the globe you’re goingto say This is IT. The great tribulation has started.
As long as it's Anthony Morris announcing this delusional drivel, all the members will eat it up.

What Are Your Rights?
by Simon inrights seem to be everywhere nowadays.
say hello to someone in the wrong way and you've violated 101 of their human rights.
people imagine they have the right to all sorts of things - food, healthcare, housing, internet ... so many things are labelled basic rights and then you get onto their human rights - a favourite of the do-nothing bodies such as the un to declare.

RULES & REGULATIONS
Organized to Do Jehovah’s Will p. 143-144REINSTATEMENT
34 A disfellowshipped person or one who has disassociated himself from the congregation may be reinstated when he gives clear evidence of repentance and over a reasonable period of time demonstrates that he has abandoned his sinful course. He shows that he is desirous of having a good relationship with Jehovah. The elders are careful to allow sufficient time—many months, a year, or even longer, depending on the circumstances—for the disfellowshipped person to prove that his repentance is genuine. When the body of elders receives a written plea for reinstatement, the original judicial committee, if practical, should speak with the individual. The committee will evaluate the evidence of “works that befit repentance” on his part and decide whether to reinstate him at that time or not.—Acts 26:20.
35 If the person requesting reinstatement was disfellowshipped from another congregation, a local judicial committee should meet with the person and consider the plea. Thereafter, the local judicial committee will communicate with the body of elders of the congregation that disfellowshipped the individual, giving them their recommendation. The involved committees will work together to make sure that all the facts are gathered to arrive at a just decision. However, the decision to reinstate is made by the original judicial committee. If some members of the original committee are no longer in the congregation or are not qualified to serve, other elders from the original congregation may be chosen to replace them.
