Farkel,
You cannot judge people's hearts and not all of Jehovah's witnesses view the organisation as Jehovah Himself. You asked me an interesting question regarding the Society applying Bible prophecies to the organisation, does this bother me? Yes, as a matter of fact it does. But not to the point that it will cause me to turn on Jehovah God and my brothers and sisters. I feel that there are some definite problems with the 'Revelation' book, I feel the Society needs to stay away from interpreting allegorical writings in the scriptures as it seems to come back as an embarrasment to haunt them latter, as the exJW web pages demonstrate. People have been asking me about 607BCE on this board. I didn't dedicate my life to Jehovah because of 607BCE and I was not the one who came up this date, so I am not the resposible party if it turns out that 1914 is incorrect, which is possible. I have the privledge of serving in a wonderful congregation of loving brothers and sisters that truely love their fellow man, and CHOOSE to live by Jehovah's standards, and do not worship the organisation. The reason I am here is that the dateline show has caused some major concern, as many have been stumbled been this broadcast. I would like to discuss this a little latter with the exJWs on this board, but at this time I would like to make this point. Remember the brothers and sisters that have been in prisons for 30, 40 years in the past. They remained faithful to Jehovah, praying to Him daily, and yet never recieved any of the Society's publications. Did they worship the organisation? I think not!
