From my own observations, it really does feel like the Society are choking us out of every independent thought and question.
The Society is bigger than any one man, woman or individual. It is a faceless machine, that needs to be fed, oiled and moving.
Think about the faithful and discreet slave for a moment - how many of the 6 million dubs have met even one of them? Most don't even know the names of any of the GB. Yet, they are expected to pledge their idolatrous allegiance to "the channel that Jehovah is using."
In the late 19th century, the International Bible Students as they were then know, were formed by well meaning individuals who were shocked by the hypocrisy of Christendom.
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has since metamorphosed into a modern day version of the ancient nation of Israel, with little or no emphasis on the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Everything I hear, it's Jehovah this, and Jehovah that, and Jehovah's organization, and Jehovah's channel, and we must obey Jehovah.
OK. Fine. Jehovah is the God of the Universe, but why does his Son get no credit and no mention? Jesus has become irrelevant, as the Watchtower has replaced him.
It seems as if the Watchtower mob chorus is getting louder, the drumbeats quicker and god knows what will happen by the end of the year.
