I left the JWs three years ago after having done extensive research through the internet where fortunately one can find an enormous amount of information regarding every aspect of the JWs it's simply amazing how many websites there are exposing their real nature. Though in the end I don't blame so much the rank and file members who are themselves naive and ignorant victims, rather I blame those governing this organisation who are constantly and ruthlessly deceiving and holding captive in a spiritual sense their hapless followers.
I had several issues with them:
The blood ban goes too much against common sense why would it be wrong to accept blood from someone that willing gives it and without any coercion or harm to himself precisely out of good kindness with the intention to save lives as indeed millions of lives were saved in this way. Now why God would be opposed to this is something beyond all rational understanding and like so many other JW concepts it creates the wrong impression about God as an irrational tyrant and certainly sends out the wrong message about him. All the more so when one considers that even small children were doomed to an early death due to this insane doctrine.
There is also the extreme arrogance of those leaders who call themselves the faithful and discreet slave but are in fact totally faithless and indiscreet and certainly not humble slaves since they misrepresent the God they pretend to serve creating an oppressive image for him because that suits their mind control purposes. A handful of people who claim that they have a monopoly of divine revelation, that no one has the right to criticise their ideas or claim having received any revelation or inspiration but who themselves can never get anything right since they are for ever changing their doctrines. There is clearly something very satanic about this extraordinary arrogance. Even the anointed JWs (as they perceive them) are out cold, they were stripped of all power to decide anything in this so called true religion.
And there were other serious issues, the extreme shunning policy and the destruction of families and friendships, the separation of the JWs into two classes with one class who make up the vast majority banned from being part of the new covenant and therefore adopted children of God anointed with the Holy Spirit, the gross lack of charitable works by the supposedly true religion and a fabulously rich one at that, the cooperation with what they call the satanic babylonish religions such as the Hare Krishnas and the scientologists in order to save money from taxation or the Malawi - Mexico fiddle again for the sake of the god of mamon (wealth), the lies about the so called end and them being the means to survive that end, the indisputable occultic demonic connections of this religion at least up to the death of Rutherford such as the publishing of a book with the sayings of a demon to a medium woman etc etc I could go on writing a post too long for people to bother reading, the whole list of objections and their detailed analysis.
Of course there is no point in preaching to bring people in a dreary place like this but then they relegate you to a second or third rate member since you don't preach and since you find this behaviour offensive you tear up all cooperation, dump them and leave. It's totally pointless staying on because they will never listen to any suggestions on how to improve but will rather swiftly expel you as an apostate who committed the dreadful offense of trying to run ahead of the FDS, profanely invading his inner sanctum of doctrinal monopoly.
All in all what we have here is the weaving of an elaborate deception sustained by constant, extensive and ruthless lying by a group of abominable men whose conscience was singed beyond all sensitivity and who will not hesitate to even misrepresent God to attain their objectives.
And since they say that us apostates are accursed and due to be cut off from all future life by a wrathful god because we despised his saintly representatives, how wonderfully rhetoric, I finish by sending you greetings from the gloomy land of the accursed and hope to have a lot of interesting exchanges with you in the future and enjoy bashing this hideous and unrepentant beast. One among many that in recent times rose up to claim that they were chosen by God as his sole reps on earth.
