Talesin's right.
Please know that my op was not meant to tout one group over another.
I had mentioned to a JW friend that there were active elders and ministerial servants that contributed to this forum and that, by observation, many individuals, elder or otherwise, may not have had that ridiculous label of "apostate". In unbelief, I was asked to produce a post of an elder. I couldn't find an introductory post fast enough before the request was retracted.
It was then that I realized that the person who had been raped or abused as a child, the person who lost all family/friends, and even the suicide mattered to him (I shared Oompa's story). It was ALL about the words of an elder.
Sickened me too. Given my very limited experience with one JW, I am just hoping stories like this will only serve to strengthen the chance for people like him to see what's really going on.

What about your vow to Jehovah?

did you get baptized without being dedicated?.

why did you allow men to come between you and jehovah?.

why were you serving jehovah at all?

The early Christians preached extensively from Jerusalem to Rome, from the day they were baptised.
Early Christians were lion food.

I can't prove that JW's have the Truth.
Well then how do you think Jehovah feels about your proselytizing WT opinion without making sure of all things?
Jehovah's scriptures have a LOT to say about this.... you realize this, right?

How can all Christian groups be approved by Jehovah when they all teach contradictory doctrine? Jehovah HAD to narrow it down to one.
Jehovah HAD to do.... WHAT???
Have you read Romans 14????
Are JWs REALLY this arrogant behind the scenes?

Please present proof that god chose the WT/GB as his "arrangement", other than the WT telling you god chose them.
I'm still waiting for a door-knocking JW to come back and provide me with the same answer to a similar query. Maybe AWatcher can eliminate my anxiety and answer the question so we can go on to the next when and if they come back.

Christendom should have a little talk with the JW GB.

you people are turning out more atheist and agnostic then.

any other religious organization.

what the hell are you people.

I will say that in all that I've ever known, those that leave churches seem to become denominationally unaffiliated but maintain a belief in a greater power. I had never seen active atheism railing against theism until I joined JWN.
In all fairness, this would be the place for these conversations. At work or social settings, it'd be a tad bit out of place. :/
I wish Christendom knew more about the WTS.

Maybe you can pray for more friends to spend time with you in your congregation. I'm kinda feeling sad for you here.
Can AWatcher count these conversations for time? Like... how many credit hours would s/he get to claim? Are we virtual "be back" studies or would we be virtual householders?
...wait... what's the term? be back... come back... return back.... crap. I've forgotten.
