many that have come to this forum have left the jws religion and moved on with their lives but from a outsider's viewpoint what do think makes the jws religion wrong or incorrect as a active christian faith ?.
somethings come to mind such as its long continuous end times/armageddon soon doctrine which has really been a core doctrine for decades going right back to its beginning .. maybe they should have adopted the stance as other christian based faiths and adhered to jesus's own words when he said " no one knows of the time not even he ".
.
Reflectively if many of the JWS's weak doctrines weren't active and enforced such as 1914, blood transfusions, disfellowshiping and the admonishment of things like education , traditional celebrations like birthdays, Christmas etc.
A less controlling organization, less judgmental to its followers
The JWS religious organization would probably be eminencely larger than what it is now.
By quite a bit I would guess
do you think he could get reinstated as president?
do you think trump will run again for president or do you think he will just be a force for the republican party behind the scenes?.
Trump's chances of getting reelected now are about as good as myself getting elected into office and I'm not even a American citizen.
This guy is done, his endeavors now will be to try and keep himself out jail and work toward sustaining has failing business empire.
He had his chance but totally ruined it himself, placing a permanent black mark onto his character which he will have to carry for the rest of his life .
He should have never gotten into politics and just stayed a American business tycoon.
i keep hearing that the watchtower org is going to be around forever because of the many other religions that have been around a long time.
but i disagree because the wt is not like other religious cults.. the watchtower's breath of life is dependent on the last days that started in 1914. .
you can’t change 1914 without a death blow to the entire organization.. the watchtower's 2nd reason for staying alive, is it's continual urging that the life saving preaching work of warning people is the most important work ever.. but- it's very obvious to many, even the old ones that instead of speeding up the work------the work is slowing down to a drip.. comment by former believer; .
Well the GB heads have already rewrote the words in the bible by saying generation(s) instead of generation, so whats stopping them of doing more revisions or twisting and manipulation of scriptures ?
For example they could say all generations from 1914 forward who preach Jesus's new Kingdom are being righteous and loyal to Jehovah.
I would even guess they would drop 1914 altogether and just say we are true loyal preachers of god's will and purpose in proclaiming god's new kingdom to come... etc.
New light is a coming, new understanding through god's holy spirit and guidance as they have proclaimed
Old light such as 1914 will be cast off
do you think most of what they cover is accurate?
do you trust the media , especially mainstream?.
I think there is more bias laden news outlets now which years ago simply wasn't there.
In other words you better be aware of the possibility of underling intents with news agencies now days , on the net or elsewhere.
despite the wt's and young earth creationists' teachings against human evolution (namely macroevolution from non-humans) being a reality, the evidence of human evolution keeps getting stronger and stronger.. consider for example two science news articles and one other science article, each pertaining to the fossil that is nicknamed "little foot".
below are links to three science articles, listed in order of the articles from oldest to newest (except i don't see a date for one of the articles).

A low guess for the extrapolated universe is 10 to the 24th power solar systems with planets, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, or a trillion trillion.
These are solar systems mind you, take that into account and think about how many planets are within those solar systems.
The likelihood of there being planets with atmospheres similar to ares is quite high, therefore making the possibility of biological life being there as well.
Nasa found one back in 2015 called Kepler-452b

as a youg man this stunned me when i studied the original "youth" book 97% had done it so i thought soo that's pretty much everyone i guess the 3% were witness youth!
also "awake" claimed 90% of students had accessed porn at some time.
everyone is doing it i guess 10% are the witness youth...how dumb was i?.
Org's wank-related anxiety stems from one old closeted higher-up who
thought all the jerking he did as a teen turned him queer.
I remember that coming out in a WT or AW, even then I thought what wanking turns you into a Gay Homosexual ???
The GB man are no doubt poorly educated about a lot of things, particularly about human sexuality.
are you ready for the delta variant task force, funded by bill gates to come to your home?
after mass censorship and in some cases arrests ( australia ) for speaking out against lockdowns, or the dangers of untested medical procedures, we now have morons who want to send people to your home, to remove infected family members.... how will you know you’re infected??
a pcr test cranked up to detect anything of course!

Dude your off your rocker , seek psychiatric help .
to the majority of people who investigate the activities of the wts from its beginning history there were obvious false proclamations and doctrines propagated by the wts.. a matter of fact the wts produced a long list of literature that posted proclamations on the front cover and went into detail of things that were suppose to happen, from jesus returning changing the world in which we live and so on.. wonderful things one might say but not factual or either theologically correct .
.
The roots and the beginning of the JWS is an interesting one.
It really just started by a guy named C T Russell who was more of salesman of religious literature and developed an organization that was set about to distribute that literature.(IBSA)
Over the years the organization grew and expanded all over the world and with that growth more self empowerment developed toward the top orchestraters namely J Rutherford.
A highly controlling religious cult began to evolve , literature distribution was the core operation, with training sessions at Kingdom Halls and large public assemblies etc.
The studied were devised and molded to be the new public distributors and trainers themselves,
The strategy to assist those distribution endeavors were the set doctrines such as 1914 1925 , 1975 and so on.
Established behaviors and social directions were created to make the organization and each individual appear righteous in the eyes of god, though many left the organization accepting that many of the doctrines were really unrighteous or unchristian like.

As long as the power and money is there, there will be men who will strive to keep it alive.
The Watchtower's failed doctrines are not going to completely ruin this organization, new doctrines will be created to show that the JWS are preaching the truth .
In essence new lies to create "The Truth "
when i see watchtower videos or interviews i can’t help but notice how bland and boring jws really are!
they are so vanilla.
no excitement, just robotic conversation.. what the hell happened to these people?
Fear, Obligation and Guilt are the core ideological pressures placed upon people who are JWS.
Or simple brainwashing done so to sustain the organization and keep the people at the top in place with money to use.
Care to join a religious cult ?
