After all these years of preaching since Charles Taze Russell in the 1880s. there are only about 7.5 million "active" Witnesses in the world. If God "doesn't want to destroy anyone" (2 Peter 3:9), are the Witnesses really God's best effort to save us all? Why would so many people be leaving that group if that were our only hope? Aren't the Witnesses really proving the perhaps God doesn't have the right to rule over mankind since their efforts are a virtual failure and self-defeating? Just wondering ...
Would a loving, all-wise God use Jehovah's Witnesses and their Governing Body as His best way to save all mankind?

A god that is a tyrant would do just this. Order people, under death threat, to waste their lives going around on missions (local or not) to pxxx off people getting them to change their religion. Nothing ever comes true, at least not in ways that they can benefit from. Instead, they are wasting time hunting for the Second Coming or for Armageddon while Jehovah is setting up mass human enslavement under his tyranny. It is the worst of Noahide Law, the Law of St Benedict, and Sharia Law combined into one monster law. Result: The Second Dark Ages, worse than the First Dark Ages. All the while they are kept unaware, working for their very damnation.
And Jehovah has been consistent in doing this. No knowledge of good and bad--let Jehovah decide (for his selfish interests). No time to do anything for oneself. Give all your belongings to the poor. Turn the other cheek, accept abuse. Love everyone including your enemies (the fake-happiness that leads to eternal damnation). And so on. In the meantime, sex is dirtified, women are denigraded, slavery is encouraged, and homosexuals are slaughtered. Loving?

Matt, what makes these men and women different from the churches in Christendom? Witnesses don't have the love Jesus Christ said would be the key identifying mark, there is too much discord and indifference within the rank and file.
The Watchtower must be honest with itself, if they are allowed to receive updated "light", why can't churches in Christendom, why not little cults who are trying their best?
Preaching door to door is not the key feature of our Lord's commandments, he said to "love one another, to have the love he had for his followers" this does not exist in our JW organization anymore. It's might be on a small scale, but it's a thing of the past, if it ever was practiced at all!

The Watchtower organization is just the tool a currupt evil trickster god would use. He would willfully make the Bible too comfusing for the average person to understand. Then he would channel the meaning to a band of power hungry men so that the people who want to know Bible truth would have to submit to their whims. Occasionally he would channel something different than what he told them before and keep doing that again and again just to mess with everyone and laugh at how gullible they are.
