"Why did Jehovah`s Witnesses settle on the pronunciation of God`s name as Jehovah ?"
They didn't settle on it. That is what God's name is in English. He gave it to Hebrew speaking people in the Hebrew language as Yahveh. But to English speaking people he gave it as Jehovah.

"She now at age 55 doesn't have a retirement plan, and she has very little savings in her bank account."
And what does that have to do with religion? There are very many non-JWs who are in the same boat and even ones with University degrees.
Why are you looking at this one sided when it applies to everyone?

@Rattagan 350 - "It does not matter. You don't build a religion based on one scripture."
"I agree to a point. Each scripture, matters. "
I don't think that any scripture matters. Scripture is just past writings telling of God's will.
His will and purposes will continue even if never written down.
Many things that Jesus said were never written down. If the F&DS saying was written down, then what would they have?

"The Watchtower Sept 2012 states that the cry for peace and security was an initial sign."
I don't think that they advocate that anymore just like they don't advocate 1914 and many other things that the pre 1995 GB taught.

I don't see the problem with the Watchtower quotes. I see problems with your alterations to them.

"One cannot leave Jehovah's Witnesses with one's reputation intact."
If one leaves, one's reputation is now that of a leaver. Why should the reputation stay anything different?
"You have to believe that Jehovah`s Witnesses are the only true Christian religion"
If you don't believe that JWs are the only true Religion, then you need to go to the one you believe is the only true religion.
"You can read their literature, but they won't read yours."
Not true. I won't take another's, but I'll sit down and we will discuss it.
"They try to separate you from the real world."
Taylor Swift and Oprah do that.

"The Watchtower freely admits it is made up of imperfect men. This is as good as it gets for an apology for getting it wrong. The fact remains - the Watchtower gets it wrong."
Wrong about what??? Why they focus on the Watchtower?
I'm not wrong at what I believe and do. I don't focus on the Watchtower. So why are you?
"So, the only source Witnesses are to get information from is basically a crap shoot. At the same time they claim that their salvation is based on obeying the Watchtower. It is like going to a blind surgeon for a lifesaving medical procedure. Good luck with that!"
You need to remember that the Watchtower's teachings are correct. They can get them wrong, but they are correct. They problem is that they get their teachings from the Bible, such as they follow the apostles. Where do the apostles get their authority to make doctrine such as disfellowshipping and blood?
Also they are taking life from the Bible times and applying it today. They need to open their thinking.

"A couple watch the news. Later, after a congregation meeting, they share with others their strong personal opinions about the meaning of news events. (Bottom) A couple watch a Governing Body update in order to stay current with the latest understanding of Bible prophecy. They offer to others Bible-based publications that are provided by the faithful slave."
This is a good thing. There are people that still look for a cry for Peace and Security from the governments although that is not what the scripture states at all. There was a GB update that said not to look for that cry and it appears that many didn't even notice that.
