The Organization is paramount to worshiping Jehovah himself
by Leprechaun inwhen one says i am worshiping jehovah and respecting the organization it is one in the same, and it has always made me sick to see the god of the holy bible dragged to a debased human level, way too much honor is readily given to the quote organization instead of to the great and wondrous god jehovah and his son.
i would not want to be in the shoes of the governing body of the jehovahs witnesses when that time of trouble comes upon this earth in the form of the great tribulation, for they have misguided many sheep like people to worship an institution a publishing company a cult of personalitys rather than our maker..

Huge development concerning Watchtower.org and "apostate" comments.
by DT inwouldn't you love to comment on the watchtower.org site so that other visitors can see what you think about their doctrinal flip flops, false prophecies and dangerous medical practices?.
it's no surprise that watchtower.org doesn't allow comments.
they know that "apostates" would point out the embarrassing details about their religion and history.

"Not to know is bad. Not to want to know is worse. Not to hope is unthinkable. Not to care is unforgivable." - Nigerian saying.
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.Theologically, Jehovah’s Witnesses are a family hurtful cult of Christianity. The oppressive organization does not represent logical historical facts, sociologically; it is a destructive cult whose false teachings frequently result in spiritual and psychological abuse, as well as needless deaths.
I understand the dictionary definition of an "apostate" and I suppose that definition fits me. However, I have my own definition, which makes me more comfortable as it does not fit me. I (and it is my opinion that is important to me) apply the term apostate to those that have knowingly bent and twisted the word of the God in the Bible to their own advantage. Using my definition makes the WTS an apostate organization (one of many). I don't like apostates and this means that I don't like the WTS.
I never did enjoy being judgmental that rules their rules are supreme - elder, pioneer, ms, co, do, governing body, weak, strong, active, inactive, in the truth, worldly, pagan, on and on. Every label gave you a mental picture of how to treat, love, hate, ignore or otherwise judge the person on the receiving end of that label. Apostate is a simple term - it means to leave basically - but they have made us a mental image of 'evil slave' - having God and his people excreta.
Hard to get over those mental pictures for most I think -
By the way I am a real 'apostate' - a good one - most witnesses would like to be as good as a lot of these 'apostates' are on this site.- but if u think about it didn't the WTS 'label' everything? It was really part of the “New Light,” if it were from Jehovah, it would have been right in the first place, and would not need updating. So what is current light now may very well be old light next year, and at times it has. Why would Jehovah give them the wrong understanding to start with?
That is the stuff that always bothered me so that is what I bring up. Of course now I know it was all a fairly tale anyhow.
"I think a full, free talk is frequently of great use; we want nothing secret nor
underhanded, and I for one want no association with things that cannot
be talked about and will not bear investigation."

U.S. to Launch Massive Swine Flu Vaccination Campaign
by leavingwt inswine flu campaign waits on vaccineonly third of supply is expected for first round of vast effortgovernment health officials are mobilizing to launch a massive swine flu vaccination campaign this fall that is unprecedented in its scope -- and in the potential for complications.
the campaign aims to vaccinate at least half the country's population within months.
although more people have been inoculated against diseases such as smallpox and polio over a period of years, the united states has never tried to immunize so many so quickly.

No matter what it is that I would want to delve into as far as worship is concerning or enlightenment, I would first have to read something about it even if it was about the Greek god Cronos and all his sons and daughters who were gods like him. Unless I just wanted to dream dreams on my own and call them visions from some higher source.

by littlebuddy inmy jw elder friend said to me that the nwt is the best translation of the bible and that scholars have said as much.

Have as many translations as possible, stop becoming a robot and start thing for your self, a true student of the bible uses many translations to prove if this or that is so.

Without the wt org, what have you got to keep you going in worshipping jehovah? A church, the bible? Also, HOW do you worship jehovah?
S
In answer to your question: I can only say what has kept me going. I persevere in seeking out Jehovah because I personally feel that he does exist, and like the bible writer says I truly feel that Jehovah does become a rewarder of anyone seeking him in sincerity.” Again I can only speak for myself, I have not needed no “Organization” with all their man made rules in order to pray, to read and study his written word, to meditate on all written wisdom no matter from what source that pertains to his holy writings, and his creation, just to mention a few things. The goal of the Governing Body of the Witnesses is cause you to think that only they have enough common sense to accept the writing of god’s word. Too bad because they don’t accept god’s word with out their babblings, they have polluted it so much with their apostate teachings that it is nothing like it was in the time of Russell. Russell at least did not try to enslave you to the thinking of a group of men somewhere across the country; we all know the story of Joseph Rutherford and his desire to become a demigod.

JW's Value Position & Appearances over Displaying God's Qualities
by flipper inbefore some of the long time members here say to me " tell us something we don't know flipper " - please hear me out on this one.
some of the newly exiting jw's may not know this info - but need to be made aware of it.. as a young man i was raised in the cult jehovah's witnesses and remained from birth until age 44 .
i was never, ever asked by my elder father in all those years the question, " son, how is your relationship with jehovah doing ?

Wow, reading your thread brings back memories in my empty head! All those catch phrases made me a bit squeamish, like this one “Brothers are you reaching out for the office of overseer, or you young ones have you “set your goals for Bethel service”. It all began when my dad set me up at a circuit assembly to scrap food trays into a garbage can, and he kept telling me it was a privilege, of course I roiled my eyes just before I puked into the can of scraped food.
