Well, I will tell you that the JWs have the proper understanding of the Bible whereas every other religion and denomination does not. So throw out the organization and congregation, but keep the theology.

Bathwater
by peacefulpete inmany who have become disillusioned by some particular recent wt offence, separate from the church physically but retain the indoctrination the wt installed in their brains.
a familiar trope is often used,.
"don't throw the baby out with the bathwater!".

No Reporting of Time, Tithing is OK, Now WT Teaches a "Rapture" - What's Next?
by Sea Breeze inthose who will be taken to heaven will first need to be “changed, in a moment, in the blink of an eye, during the last trumpet.” therefore, while we do not use the term “rapture” here because of its wrong connotation, the remaining faithful anointed will be gathered together in an instant of time.
- the watchtower—study edition | july 2015. ok so they refuse to use the word "rapture".
kinda like they refuse to use the word church and clergy (except when it suits their purposes in court cases).

Let me tell you. JWs have the truth.
I was on Twitter and there are people that believe that we have to follow the 10 commandments and the sabbath.
They are so blind to what Christianity is about. They ignore the clear teachings of the apostles that explain we are not under the Law.
Yes, JWs know the truth about these Bible teachings. No doubt about it

Why do these details matter? We are born, we live and we die. Our understanding and acceptance of that won't change that. The only thing that will change that is if God and/or Jesus does something about it.

Pornography in the Marriage
by LostintheFog1999 inthe magazine that they are studying in the congregation this month has an article at the back about how pornography in a marriage could damage the relationship.. there's one piece of advice that sounds rather scary, the wt suggests that the couple should "consider asking an elder with whom you are both comfortable to sit in and guide your discussions for a time.".
how many of you would want an elder present in your home while you and your partner discussed your personal sexual cravings and the type of porn videos being watched?.

How is pornography in the marriage any different than going to a restaurant to eat rather than having the wife's or husband's cooking? It is saying that someone else can do something better than the spouse, without the work, but yet there is no jealousy.

Apostacy!!!
by Bill Parker ini intend to show with this article that the man of lawlessness is the anti-christ and that the activity of this composite person is what constitutes the abomination of desolation.
this shows the anti-christ and the man of lawlessness to be one and the same composite person.
we have seen that the anti-christ exalts himself {not appointed by god} then we learned that the man of lawlessness takes his seat in the temple of god.

My point was that this all began with Paul's writings. Paul's letters were the references that they could use to make rules, or suggestions. They want to be the pharisees to use whatever they can to elevate themselves.
Paul gave good advice. He put 2 and 2 together and got 4 when it came to Jesus and his fulfillment of the stated prophecies and the unstated ones such as the Law and the temple. He had good intentions to keep the congregations separate from the people of the world. But yet he failed in that 100-150 years later the apostasy started and the teachings devolved to begin the Catholics. His letters were good for his day, but today things are different.
