The entire thing is a lie.
You might as well build an organization based on the tooth fairy.
the organization has many problems.
certain doctrines are problematic.
the men who run the organizaion have issues.

"What are you doing to go find every, single precious soul that based life decisions on 'old light' and fix it ... so they too can have everlasting life?"
what would be your reply?.
my reply: jehovah is big enough to take care of himself.. yours?.
Jehovah lets children be killed and die....and sexually assaulted.
I'd say he has done it to himself. You?
there was a recent thread on the "quality" of converts to jws in recent years.
it wasn't a pretty picture, based on the thread contents.. well, the lack of depth isn't restricted to new converts.. in our clam this week, one of the principal points for review was this:.
ne 1:1; 2:1—why can we conclude that “the 20thyear” mentioned at nehemiah 1:1 and 2:1 is countedfrom the same starting point?
Almost all of the truly gifted speakers and teachers I knew have left.
My god, it must be pure misery listening the stupidity at meetings.
what is the point of supporting a belief which began as a bronze age ox-headed idol called yahweh... in a religion designed for illiterate peasants now appropriated by a money-driven cult with a one hundred and forty six year unbroken record of total failure of its bible based predictions?.

Makemeanunbeliever,
You do realize that supporting Jehovah's Witnesses is not a passive choice, right? I'm guessing you've only been associated with Jehovah's Witnesses for the past few years.
Consider:
Innocent people have died that could have been saved and had full lives (see changes in blood, Malawi, Nazi Germany)
Innocent children are sexually molested, brutally abused... and it goes unpunished and unreported, resulting in more children molested.
Millions have been robbed of reaching their full potential due to not attending college or pursuing dreams
Millions have had money stolen from them
Innocent people have had soul crushing lies pounded into their heads for over a century
How would you feel about someone that ran into a crowded theater and yelled "FIRE!" when there wasn't one? That is what JW's have been doing for over a century in field service.
How is it the best 'thing' going? How is it the best option? ANY support for this organization is a stand for something that kills innocent people and steals lives.
would the jehovah`s witnesses be a shoe in , for the most about face , flip flop , of doctrine , beliefs , and practices in this 21st century , to have previously strongly held beliefs and then for them to be discarded in their 140 ?
year history ?.
i think they take the cake .. smiddy.
They would be if anyone cared about their opinions.
I think we have all learned that the universe could care less about this group..... they're just silly and sad......and also dangerous (blood, shunning, etc.)
mealy mouthed article in the may study wt here:.

tacit approval to bribe, oops, i mean "tip" your local governmental official so they can grant you a cartilla card, or whatever else you might need done..
This situation alone shows that being a JW is anything but an 'innocent' choice.
You're endorsing torture and death.
Sickening for those of us that grew up in the '70's
have you heard that old chestnut?
i have.. typically it's the last resort when you have dismantled a jws beliefs and they have no way of defending them.
they know they are beat so they come out with that one.. its effectively an admission that you are right and they have no argument but they are still going to attend meetings because they like the social club.. what a lame way to defend your faith..
Yep I've heard it.
I then ask how they feel about telling people to make life and death decisions based on 'old light' and how would they feel if they let a child die that could have had a blood fraction.
As you can see their face turning ......I then ask them how people feel about those that walk into a theater and yell fire, resulting in people being hurt or even killed. ....as they ponder, I then let them know 'that is what JW's have been doing for the last century".....
There is nothing 'innocent' about being a Jehovah's Witness. You're telling lies, damaging psyches and in some cases, costing people their lives...both physically and mentally.
this is the way crisis of conscience should have been written.
finally, a book written on the watchtower society by someone who actually knows how to write!
after reading the subheading, “the psychology of jehovah’s witnesses,” (pages 160–182), i have abandoned the belief that we have an “unconscious,” and will never again consult any psychologist, psychiatrist, or counselor.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of this book.
...and the Insight Books have bit the dust.....apparently not very 'insightful' anymore.
LOL
in our congregation there are now more ex-elders than current ones.
(probably very common).
what i notice most of all, is that the ones who were the best speakers (we actually had some good ones) are the ones who have all stepped down.. i'm of the opinion the better teachers recognize its all a joke, and can't be bothered to reach out again.. so the ones left who are taking the lead are the most boring ones available.
YES.
100% true in my former congregation, as well as the entire 'circuit'
It's fascinating.....the best speakers/teachers end up quitting or leaving....interesting to see someone else observe that.
