Smiddy,
You are just too logical. It all happens by magic within the inner circle of the gb! They never actually tell the rank and file how they arrive at certain doctrine, they just tell them to accept and obey.

according to jehovah`s witnesses christ jesus was enthroned in heaven in 1914 .. the international bible students ,c.t.russell as president was approved byjesus christ shortly after as the channell approved by jehovah god to dispense spiritual food to his faithful followers here on earth.. why is it that after 100 years of jesus christ rule from heaven over his chosen people , the jw`s , that their is no direct contact between jesus christ and his earthly channell of communication ,namely the wtb&ts , and no direct contact from jehovah god either.. jw`s do not claim to have direct contact with god or jesus christ , isnt that strange ?
after 102 years ruling as king ?.
jesus christ is the greater moses , moses had direct contact with god and his people , so shouldnt the greater moses ,jesus christ have direct contact with his people especially since he is now ruling over them from heaven ?.

it struck me that while the society and witnesses in general use the expression "the truth" for being a witness, it opens a can of worms..... i mean, when did the society become "the truth"?
after all, as we well know (and feel free to list examples please), the doctrines and teachings, and procedures have changed so much since the organisation started, that what was once "truth" is no longer so and vice versa..... maybe the conversation between jesus and pilate was correct : "what is truth?
".
It's never been 'the truth'. It's always been, however, their 'best guess'. Sort of!

" you will never grow old..." a more grievous lie is hard to imagine.
i heard this one first in 1957. i was 6. my mother had just converted.
i heard it many times after that.
Hey smiddy,
Sounds like we have had very similar experiences in life. I'll soon be 70, 4 great kids and 7 really great grand kids. I too was an ubber dubber for over 5 decades! Gave up on a very promising baseball career, a game that I loved! Raised my kids as ubber dubbers but now that I've escaped the borg, I'm doing my best in a very subtle way to get them to see ttatt!

concise thoughts from the wtbts.
par.2) however, there are numerous situations for which the bible provides no specific command.. par.3) in the absence of specific laws, how can we know what choices will please jehovah?.
par.16) many matters could be decided one way or another, and jehovah would still be pleased.. .
My personal decision today, based on 'common sense', don't go to the wt meeting!

having watched many jc youtube videos one question that gets asked is "where else would you go?".
in other words if not jehovah's witnesses then what other religion or organisation would you go to?.
it's one that i have trouble answering, what would you say?.
Try getting involved with life! It's really pretty interesting and fun!

the watchtower today says not to think of sex, or to have sexual fantasies.
i'm just wondering... how many people in the hall hearing this watchtower today would be having sexual fantasies?
sitting there thinking about sister hottie or brother hunky ?.
I wonder why the wt didn't cite the wonderful biblical example of fabulous King David, a man after jehober's own heart? I'm sure that the gb knows that David never had sexual fantasies regarding Bathsheba---right?
Or how about the other wonderful bible characters that the wt so loves to point out as examples for christians today? I'm thinking Abraham-no sexual fantasies about Hagar, Sampson-no sexual fantasies about prostitutes, and let's not forget about poor old grief stricken Lot-no sexual fantasies about his 2 daughters!

blondie’s highlights from the july 17, 2016 wt study (2016) (how do you make personal decisions?.
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/.
excellent general website: www.jwfacts.com .
In other words, It's perfectly okay to make 'personal decisions' as long as your 'personal decisions' are perfectly harmonious with the latest wt approved divine teaching that can only be revealed to us through the mystical 'faithful and discreet slave'! Yea---let's go with that!

so i hooked into meeting via phone this week to listen in and was shocked at the absurdities mentioned in the study article (2016 may watchtower: "go,..and make disciples of people of all the nations").
the answer is obvious—only jehovah’s witnesses.
the answer the missionary priest gave in no way proves that jws are the only ones "preaching the good news".
In all their bragging about there 'marvelous' accomplishments that identify them as the 'only true religion', I wonder why they forgot this verse from James 1:27
" The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world."

4300 in attendance - 17 baptized.
odd mix of congregations assigned, i'm sure to throw off any scent of a decline.. no distinction made whatsoever between loyalty to jehovah god and loyalty to the watchtower bible and tract society.
the convention is riddled with parts whipping up your love for the creator and jesus, with a quick reminder that the wbts are their gatekeepers.. parallels are implied constantly between israel and jehovah's witnesses.
Laughing my ass off at the baptism numbers! Getting lower each year! jehober is truly 'slowing down' the work!
He needs to take his chariot in for repairs!

i was wondering why they ended the "bunker video" as they did ... with an armed militia finding the jws huddled in the corner of the basement ... fade to black.
the jws watching don't know what happened after that.
did they kill them?
If jehober is going to "protect his people" as we have been absolutely 'guaranteed' for decades, why the f*ck are they hiding in a bunker? They should be out there preaching the 'final judgement' message! Me thinks that the borg don't really believe jehober will do his job as a loving father! LMFAO
