why is it important to some that god only have one visible organization to represent him on earth?
why is it important to jehovah's witnesses that people recognize their organization as such?
what makes a witness more moral or righteous or save-worthy if they accept that it is his one and only organization?
It makes them feel part of a tribe. Humans seem to be tribal after all. that's why people get salty over football teams etc.
Watchtower, September 15, 1895: "Beware of "organization." It is wholly unnecessary. The Bible rules will be the only rules you will need. Do not seek to bind others' consciences, and do not permit others to bind yours."

Fade away.

If you don't want every JW on the face of the planet to shun you then this is a terrible idea.
Just make yourself gradually more scarce at meetings. Do not tell them your real thoughts. Just drift away.
admittedly it 90% crap over there but still they are up to 80k in subscribers.
over here it's the same half dozen or so that posts something, including myself.
why is that?.
Probably because this is a specific forum and reddit encompassed a wide variety of subjects.
I'd imagine PIMO's would more easily explain away reddit that a specific forum.

Who is providing the internet?
The picture looks like the composition of a deranged mind.
.............well, we are talking about Jobots!
something to cheer about, after the jw cult's failure to silence kevin mcfree.

A really great vid. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The creator is able to say what I think but don't have the words for.
I often thought I was a dimwit because I could never remember anything, or take away any new thoughts or inspiration from the CON-ventions.
Now, I realise I'm a dinwit for other reasons.
Yup. Great observations in this vid. Well worth a watch.
something does not compute.
you are my witnesses,”declares jehovah, yes, my servant whom i have chosen, so that you may know and have faith in me and understand that i am the same one.before me no god was formed, and after me there has been none.
isaiah 43:10. in the beginning was the word, and the word was with god and the word was god.
Vandy - God created the universe and man by Himself without the help of another god.
Although I am no longer a believer, I thought the WBT$ at one time suggested that Jesus DID help with creation. TBH, I can't be bothered to check sources (sauces), it seems so pointless.
Off subject a bit. I remember a Sister(tm) wondering if Satan created Wasps. (Not sure if you call them Wasps in the USA).
You guys would make great Watchtower apologists.
I was, in my day. Perhaps I should go back
we used to believe it was because of seeing the others' intense grief at bereavement:.
bhs chap.
7 p. 72 par.
Looks like the WBT$ make it up as they go. Surely not!

Vandy - How do Jehovah's Witnesses reconcile these verses with John's gospel?
They won't even try.
Sloppy - You would go in circles with a JW with neither side budging.
If the Governing Body(TM) (Pee be upon them), say the Bible does or doesn't mean something, then the Jobots will obey.
They don't try to reconcile anything, they are told what to think and anything outside of this is...dare I say....APOSTACYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYy

My guess is that they'll go into 'nouns' and capital G in God and lower case g for Jesus as a sort of god type person.
Just a thought. My memory of all things Jobot has faded.
