Yes, I know.
It happened 1990 in my home town.
Very sad story...;-(((
if anyone is interested, i have a question about baptism.. i know that in the bible jesus told his disciples to go and gather up all people .
who were willing to listen and make disciples of them baptizing them etc..etc..etc... so basically there would be a kinda pyramid effect taking place from that moment.
in time and on until the end of this system of things.
plmkrzy.
I got baptized in 1984 (old rite; no devotion to the rules of WTS).
I do have same embarrassing thoughts as you too.
It's because the WTS claim ancient bible people like Abraham, Moses, David or Salomo as JW; but, how could they be - if not have been baptized under the rules and regulations of the WTS ?!

today i experienced the absolute "climax" in my life .
the first words he spoke to us, when we asked him about the state of health of my aunt, were: .
at this moment we were aware of the fact that my aunt always spoke the truth about this man; but she was unable to help herself.

My guess is you are somewhere in Africa. Why not inform them there, too? The elder is a thief. Throughout the Bible Jehovah sent good men to expose their evils.
Error. Not Africa.
My native country is in center Europe...
It's the same country where HITLER was born..;-((
It's the same country that had the worst concentration camp in WWII (Mauthausen; only 15 miles far from my dwelling.., more than 500 JW's died there)
i have yet to find a personal set of beliefs that will satisfy my mind, but one thing i am starting to get sure of is that there exists no "christian" god.
the reasons for that belief aren't many, but proof that god exists isn't that plentiful either.
i use the bible as proof god doesn't exist as it depicts it... others use it to prove he does, in fact, exist.
No, will power:
What I want'd to say is that a minimalistic version of the bible's content might be of help to convince all the people:
Not 100 or 1000 several exegese books.
The "GOLDEN RULE" Jesus Christ told us.
The name of the Almighty God and its meaning.
The need of a new righteous world order and his coming, promised.
And the "new scrolls" to be opened, (see Re. 20:12)
IMO, that must be enough
For in 2014 it is hundred years after Jesus Christ's invisible recurrent, and besides, many years the Kingdom of God lasts now, I think its now high time the WTS should come out with the NEW SCROLLS..,-)
Independent of Armageddon comes meanwhile or not! They have no right to let the mankind waiting until Armageddon, and forbid them simultaneously to hope at any sort of scientific HEALING of the world (because they think that "scientific efforts for an uncleaned satanic world are wasted")
THEY MUST COME TO KNOW THAT SCIENCE COULD BE A "VEHICLE" MANAGED THROUGH THE ALMIGHTY GOD !!!!

Oh yes.
For this reason, a high "spiritual entity", but of lower state than YHVH/JHWH, has become a human being. "The son of God".
To show what is "Gods love",
We know it was Jesus Christ.
We should follow his boot-traps - to go the way of "truth".
Sure you know all. I need not to say more.
The very main problem:
I think, we'd need a minimalistic religion.
Throw away all hundredth of books and literatures and bible-interpretations and explanations and exegeses and so on...
What are the base instructions that human beings have to obey in order to live a good life ?
What is the base God's nature all human beings could agree and comply with ?
Ask all people all around the world. In all religions. I'm sure that they almost would give the same answers. The base is found in the bible.
You could unify all people with that base. All around the world. It is only a matter of good will.

"YHVH/JHWH", spoken: Jahwe or Jehovah (that is about: "I shall be proved") means a specific formal system asserting absolute universal validity. It also implies a universal teleological principle of order which overwhelmes the 2nd axiom of thermodynamics. No type of beings could live only one millisecond if this principle would cease to exist...
Besides, the sentence "I shall be proved" asserts its own decision procedure on provability, truth, completeness and consistence; through a specific formal system, that it "induces to be".
Beyond this above mentioned scientific base, YHVH/JHWH implies a spiritual entity, a "person" we cannot imagine or point out or figure out at all...
In fact, the true God has nothing to do with that type of picture figured in the book "Isaias Prophecy" on page 90, chapter 8/9. That is idolatry, nothing else...
