when i first left the org.
i started doing a great ammount of research and during one of my trips to the librairy i discovered that the word "jehovah" was a magic word and was used in magic spells and various occult ceremonies.
i learned all of this from a book about magic and secret societies.

baptism and the holly spirit;.
why is it that only 144,000 of j.ws have the holly spirit at baptism, and the rest do not?
there are two classes in the organization, some lesser and some greater.

In essence you have learned this so far: That the Bible can lead to confusion among those who seek truth from the Bible.
Now take the next step and ask why this "God of love and Order" as let this confusion to exist among those who seek him?

hope you're having a swell evening.
there are two christian young women from the u.s. who are imprisoned in afghanistan for trying to make converts.
of course, it seems astonishing to folks here in the u.s.. it seems things have come full circle, because in the law of moses if someone came to you talking about another god besides jehovah, even your 'wife lying in your bosom,' you were to report them.

A exellent analogy.
It would be good to use that comparison to any local JWs that came knocking on your door, with their carefully rehearsed introduction "What do you think of events in America, etc etc" (as they do you know)

Does this ring any bells?
It reads as follows:
*** w95 11/1 17 A Time to Keep Awake ***
Eager to see the end of this evil system, Jehovah’s people have at times speculated about the time when the "great tribulation" would break out, even tying this to calculations of what is the lifetime of a generation since 1914. However, we "bring a heart of wisdom in," not by speculating about how many years or days make up a generation, but by thinking about how we "count our days" in bringing joyful praise to Jehovah. (Psalm 90:12) Rather than provide a rule for measuring time, the term "generation" as used by Jesus refers principally to contemporary people of a certain historical period, with their identifying characteristics.
When I first read this article I remember feeling flawed because the Watchtower suggested that its readers were reading too much into Time calculations, it was somehow our fault if we were disappointed. I felt as if my trust had been betrayed, having spoken so assuredly to so many people about "This Generation".

Just miss a few meetings and do not answer up when you do go to them.
They will soon stop useing you for teaching assignments.
