but some left the organization.
however, there arose a third category who did not leave the organization, but brought a new view into their heart: jws are right in their core cause (gods kingdom as the solution to mankinds problems) but may or may not be right in their supplementary teachings, hence are not bothered about changes happening in this unimportant area..
Jesus was a historical person, but he may have been presented in the Bible differently. That is entirely different question.
You would not have raised such questions if you had read my OP in which I said "except Kingdom and Kingdom qualities" no teaching is important, hence not discussion-worthy.

You ask: “Do you believe that JF Rutherford died faithful to God and is in heaven?”
Don’t make such personal attack on dignified people of an esteemed organization which has more good things than bad. Just because you were disciplined by the JWs org, you cannot blindly attack this org and its leaders.
You are free to disagree with an organization, but personal attack is not warranted. It is still my motherly organization. Just like this forum has its terms and conditions, violation of which would invite deletion or disfellowshipping, JWs also have. Hence there is no difference between this forum and JWs. Members of JWs are dignified in their speech. But go through this forum and see how many members of this forum measure up to basic manners. In all my lives, I have never heard anyone uttering the word bullshit or shit among JWs--even in our formal settings like during cong.picnic. Here in this forum, shit is the word we here more than any other word.

You ask: “Would you give the same pass to Christendom on its evils?”
“Do not resist the wicked” is a wise counsel—it is a waste of time as far as religions are concerned. Confronting the wicked is the work of the Government, and ultimately of Heavenly Government.
If you want a peaceful life, you have to watch only the good, and ignore the ills which is actually their problem which they have chosen for themselves.

To all those who ridicule me.
What is this all about? You all are coming against me as though with a bulldozer to crush an egg, with some even calling names such as IS. This is worse than Judicial Committee of JWs? Is this the forum to discuss about JWs as your caption text claims? Is this all out-attack for saying “there is a third wise option” of supporting the good and ignoring the ills? Yesterday, cofty claimed this world is not decadent, but we are living in the best part of history. If attacking the good just because he is good is not the sign of a decadent society, what is decay? I am now fully confident that this world is beyond redemption. You have fortified my conviction further.
Cofty, ask sensible questions about JWs only—I will answer. If some organization is your night-mare, that’s your problem for which you have to seek cure.

Witness My Fury and cofty
It seems you both feel nervous seeing just two of my posts as it is obviously against your known stand.
However, ours is wisdom in action. You people acted like a man who tried to take on a running goods train by his head (against JW system) thus lost everything.
But here are many people like me still enjoying the countless benefits of JW system by being right in its midst supporting its good contributions, yet not being part of its evils. This is a great feat of balancing act which you people can be envious of (which you prove yourself by desparately accusing me for the sake of accusing—saying I am campaigning for some organization other than JWs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone speak more senselessness than this?
Is this at the root of all atheists?

Humility and non-cooperation with the arrogant is more powerful than a world war. Haven’t you heard of a man in India (named MK Gandhi) who brought to kneel the British Empire (that was ruling 2/3 of the earth at that time with iron rod) through his peaceful method called non-cooperation?
Similarly, we support JWs in all its goods; and extends non-cooperation towars all its evils!
Confrontation can only create some disfellowshippings, and accomplishes nothing!

You ask: ”an imminent Armageddon real?”
Armagddon is real. Imminent or not depends on the degree of madness humans would display. For the last 40 years, we are experiencing terrorism. Have we succeeded in bringing it down? It is only increasing. Why? Violence has become the inner aspects of individuals which reflects in the collective consciousness. Will we succeed in bringing sea-level rise? This too increases. All our progresses are inadequate—it is like we fill a tank that has more leakages.
The only thing that is certain in our lives is our death—when, where and how we do not know.
Similarly,
The only thing that is absolutely certain on global aspects, it is Armageddon— when, where and how we do not know. It will be started by man’s madness, and will be concluded by God who will use it as a means to bring in Paradise on earth.

I appreciate your views, and wish you all the best.
Interestingly, we both are happy—like those who reside in the basement of an apartment thinking that is the only place available, and those who stay in the upper floors.
