@slimboyfat: Thinking back when I was a true believer these are probably the top ten reasons why I believed JWs are the true religion.
Yes, same.
@KerryKing: You always know straight away that when someone says, 'I'm serious!' or 'I'm not lying!' that's exactly the opposite of what they are.
Bible principle: "A false witness lies with every breath."
Application: When Watchtower says all those things about itself (which they do say are reasons they're the "true religion") you know the opposite is actually what is closer to the truth.
Therefore...
TOP TEN REASONS THE SO-CALLED "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" AFFILIATED WITH WATCHTOWER DO NOT HAVE THE TRUE RELIGION (PLUS A BONUS ONE)
1. They help fund war and profit off of it by means of having invested in and promoted the foundation of the modern state of Israel, as well as by having stock in companies that make and trade weapons, since stock share ownership is part of owning the company.
2. They reproach Jehovah's name by fraudulently claiming to represent Him all the while doing things that He hates like shunning people, approving of abuse and promoting abusers, encouraging taking in blood via fractions, divination/pyramidology 1914 doctrine, etc.
3. They distance people from God by teaching that He won't personally interact face-to-face with the great crowd.
4. They teach lies about Jesus' words at Matthew 24:45 thereby inserting a pharisaical and antichrist group of men as a fraudulent form of mediators who attempt to usurp Christ's role as leaders of the flock; all those following the Governing Body and its hierarchy are led astray from following Jehovah's appointed Christ.
5. While claiming to promote the kingdom they actually instead set up the Watchtower hierarchy leaders as kings now. These self-appointed kings lord it over the flock in a harsh way, meddling with what they ought not, and directly oppose Christ's teachings on love. Their shunning doctrine is used in a "political" way to oppress and control members. Elders are competitive and the rank-and-file must show support for various "candidates" of the Watchtower hierarchy in order to receive "privileges."
6. By means of their widespread preaching they have also spread leaven/hypocrisy/weeds/lies about Jehovah throughout the entire earth.
7. Their founder Russell brazenly plastered a pyramid (A Pyramid! God-damned Egypt with all those plagues and humiliated Pharaoh!) all over the earth via the "Photo-drama of Creation" and his talks and publications, even though the word "pyramid" is not found once in the Bible. While the videos talk about him "rediscovering Bible truths" the man corrupted Bible teachings at the same time, in obscene ways that had never been done before. (A freakin' Pyramid!)
8. As the numbers of Jehovah's Witnesses have increased, so has the blasphemy and reproach on God's name. Now people are blaspheming God's name all over the world by claiming to be "Jehovah's Witnesses" while adhering to reproachful false doctrines, things that God hates and that hurt people He loves.
9. Each of the JW leaders have expanded upon or introduced or promoted new ways of offending Jehovah and hurting people and hurting Jehovah God. Some ways include adding new pharisaical doctrines thereby causing more divisions in the flock and more divisions between the people and Jehovah God and more divisions between the people and Jesus.
10. The JW teachings about paradise neglects to inform the people that Jesus and the 144,000 and Jehovah God will also be materializing bodies to interact with humans here on earth, which is the principle theme of the paradise: being reunited with God. Instead, the JW teaching makes people think they'll be divided from God and Jesus for all eternity. It's sick.
11. The JW teachings mention God's sovereignty being challenged and say opposition to His sovereignty will end but then by means of raising up themselves as kings now in opposition to Christ become among the very ones challenging it.
These are the kinds of thoughts and reasons that convinced me JWs had didn't have the truth.
These are the reasons Jehovah and Jesus are tearing down Watchtower first.
