anyone else also hold this view or understand it at least, or do you feel the need to argue that both can in no way coexist?.

Witnesses are not allowed to take SAT's, thus they can be retarded and have plausible deniability that they are geniuses
...gotta be honest this @Crabby guy is crushing it LOL.

example @Viviane comment.
"Your comments are unfounded, baseless and unscientific"
rinse repeat.
Anyone of you care to share your SAT score, IQ, Portfolio. I bet a lot of the ppl you call stupid are probably not so stupid.

Judicial Committees should have an option to be public

thinking back to how they went from votes by the congregation under russels time to private closed doors in rutherfords time so as to not waste time, etc, of other members.

if it really wasn't to hide things from the org, it would have an option for the person it's against to have it open to the public.

a time announced for any members or the person to bring any they want to attend.

@Sevan perfect statement my friend.
Bottom line in the 1st Century it is clear this sort of thing was held at the city gate in public so that the judges were prone to fairness.
The governing body is in no way following the scriptures as it comes to judging, like zero chance.
..btw how many ppl did Jesus disfellowship? If this was so critical why don't we have an example of him disfellowshipping someone??????

JW broadcasting and doubts

@Colin I think the best advice anyone can give you at this stage is to fact check. Like I said earlier do it on your own. Make it firm in your mind then you can move on. I put this off and it caused me to just hang around. Now I regret it with all my being. I wasted so much time and well lots of cash. Makes me sick.
Again though do the fact checking yourself. In other words don't take anyone's word for it. Dig into it yourself.
A couple things that really opened my eyes. These are just the topics you'll need to do the research.
1. How many prophecies and dates related to Christ's presence, and Armageddon. it is said the org is progressive but if you didn't believe these dates or the overlapping generations of today even though in the case of years ago were proven wrong would that be o.k.? No you'd likely be disfellowshipped for thinking and sharing your opinion.
2. The bible itself, when were the books written. How many books has the JW bible excluded. When were the books canonized (when did they become part of the bible). you'll be shocked at some of the answers to these questions. At least I was.
3. Bible translation. Just look into Romans 10:13 and 10:9. The same Greek word is used in both. The root is Kyrios. Yet when you look in the Interlinear bible somehow the formula the NWT says it uses is not kept. What is the explanation in the footnote in the Interlinear for Romans 10:9? go take a look.
4. Investigate the endless false assumptions that simply went along with the bad science of the day. Wouldn't God know these things are false? Why would he direct his channel to believe transplants were cannibalism. Why would he deceive his followers into thinking he lived in a constellation for example?
5. The blood issue. Why are sisters allowed to breast feed if we are not to eat blood? If anything is "eating" blood it is for sure breast feeding. The Watchtower never touches it. Were those that were disfellowshipped for taking blood fractions to save their lives automatically reinstated when the governing body realized they screwed up in the early 2000's?
6. Is anyone EVER auto-reinstated when they stood firm that the governing body was wrong and disfellowshipped for it only to have the governing body finally admit they were wrong? Remember we're not talking about going to the convention you're assigned to we're talking about issues that are related to your very life!!!
Those are just a few things. The rabbit hole is literally endless. Crack the books and you'll have zero doubts when done.

your qualifications are way above mine so i'd love to hear more about the specifics of what you have researched and how that supports the existence of a deity.

k99, i am not really convinced that you're interested in my conclusions.

Thanks for proving my point @OrphanCrow you have no answer on the topic so you try to redirect like every other person that doesn't want to see the words come across their lips.
I get it. you guys just don't want to say "I don't know"
check we're done....

@OrphanCrow said several times I'm all ears on how the origin of life started. Happy to listen to anything anyone has to say. But alas no one has said much, just that I'm stupid.
so here's your chance enlighten me. What proof do you have that supports an evolutionary happenstance that is the origin of life? Go

Colin start with the bible...
The NWT is well not a bible. There are so many distortions and poorly translated versions it really was eye opening for me.
Look into the original text, there are many many mis translations that change the meaning for the benefit of the JW narrative. I can give you examples if you wish but I would suggest doing your own more meaningful research :)
