What a bland and useless article. God is love indeed, but is first and foremost Holy, Holy, Holy. Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." Rev 4:8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. Day and night they never stop saying: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." Blondie, yes, they do not Jesus Christ. Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Thanks for the review Blondie and thanks to other posters!
It's quite clear though. If Jesus is the truth, way, and life and whoever accepts or rejects the Son, does the same to the Father, then JW's ought to realize the 'Slave' can make no amends between the Father and humanity. Jesus Christ is the only one, not him PLUS someone else.
Besides, the Organization and other false prophets are already damned.
Ezekiel 3:8 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign LORD."

Thank you so much for your prayers! You have no idea how much they were needed. It wasn't easy, in fact, it was a daunting task. But I was able to share the good news of Christ and declare Him Lord over All (Acts 10:36).
It's not going to be easy now that I disassociated myself, but thanks to God, I don't have any fear.
Only, please pray for my family and friends. Those are my wishes,
THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU!

The time has come. I shared with my Mom the wondrous hope that is Jesus. With my toungue I confessed Jesus is my Lord to the glory of God the Father. Also, that salvation is found in Christ only. With tears in our eyes we talked, yet I won't know until tomorrow how she really feels.
I am going to be talking to the Elders since they know something's up with me. Perhaps because I call God my Father instead of Jehovah.
Please keep me and my family in your prayers. I will share the gospel, for I've no shame in my Lord!
God bless you

Memorial 2007, Part 1: Downplaying Jesus' Sacrifice
"How are we going to treat the Father from now on?"
That was the biggest question at the Memorial I attended on April 2, 2007. Only by the Grace of God did I not go berserk. I had prepared myself not to interfere in the proceedings, out of respect to my family and friends there.
Right from the beginning the onslaught of absurdity and deception was unleashed. The Elder opened the night with a weird guilt trip. He summed up all of creation and the meaning of life into this simple illustration. If a father found his son had crossed the railroad tracks and there was no way to stop the impending train from destroying the young boy other than to derail it and thus killing all of passengers, what would the father do?
"Well, this is precisely what happened", the Elder continued, face still intact. "The Father, Jehovah, sacrificed his Son, Jesus Christ, so that all of you may live! How would we act towards that human father? How much more should we feel towards our Heavenly Father that went through that?".
I am not completely aware how people took his illustration, but I couldn't stomach it. First of all, how WOULD we feel if a Father did just that? I would feel grateful if he let me live, in a strange kind of way, but how would the man's wife and, if the case, other children react to this?
The analogy breaks down even faster. It wasn't just a few that were inside this train, it was the entire human civilization, past, present, and future! Even if the human Father allowed that to happen from inside the moving train, did the Son go there unknowingly?
Not only did God send his Son, but His Son volunteered to take on our deserved punishment and die for us! The ficitious little boy was evidently unsupervised by his Father in the first place and wandered off into a danger zone by mistake. How ungodly to make such comparisons to the Holy Father and Son.John 10:17The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

Thanks for the responses! I just came back from watching the Passion Play at a church! It was so good, unlike the WT's stuffy dramas or videos that never portray Jesus nor his intense love for us.
On that note, I'm leaning towards not partaking at the KH. After all, these 'memorials' are so derrogatory towards Christ, many times the speakers says something like "so God sent an angel to come to Earth". Then they also lash out against those that want to partake. Who knows what that is going to be this year after the recent WT.
The issue is not making it worse for my family. I've been slowly counterattacking the comments at meetings for the past year. There has been some progress made. No longer is it "Jehovah God" in their comments and even prayers! Now it is "Father" as one would naturally say. Jesus is now ALSO "Our Lord", "Saviour", and "Reedemer".
Only God knows what will happen next, but I'm happy to love Him!

John 6: 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
52 Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"
53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever." 59 He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
I don't know if I should shock my entire family and the rest of the congregation by partaking for the first time (ten years as a JW)? After all, I don't recognize the Watchtower Meetings/Assemblies as authority. One would think the JW's would have read this scripture and known something wasn't right. Their reaction would be something like this:
60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?" -

This rubbish was greeted with enthusiasm from the congregation. They loved the way the Society mentioned "it is an interesting possiblity" the first resurrection happened in 1918, little do they know it had been an established fact before in their literature.
Also, the conductor mentioned "Now we leave the basic teachings and go into the more profound subjects in the Bible". Didn't their own magazine mention the Scriptures did not teach this? And just because the arguments are erratic, it does not mean they are profound either.

Thanks Mary, you focused on the most unsettling aspect of the GB, which is replacing CHRIST himself. Hey isn't that also called the Anti-Christ?
