a watcher has a "gentleman's agreement" with Jehovah.
That is why I enjoy what he writes.
What about your vow to Jehovah?

when I was baptised and pioneered the in the early 70's the way I understood it, the anointed known as Jehovah's Witnesses were commissioned to speak as a prophet in the name of Jehovah in 1919 as a modern-day Ezekiel. according to the book The Nations Shall Know That I am Jehovah-How?
I also understood that Ezekiel had foretold the destruction of Jerusalem exactly to the year with a prophecy starting in 997BCE and ending in 607BCE.
Ezekiel was authenticated by his prophesy coming true.
The modern-day Ezekiel told us that the generation that saw the Sign of the Son of Man in 1914 would see the tribulation.
The following quote was said in the book The Nations Shall know that I am Jehovah-How (1971 Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society o Pennsylvania) on page 216
'Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype Jerusalem, Christendom.'
The tribulation did not start and the generation teaching was changed and the Sign of the Son of Man of Matthew 24:30 hadn't been seen.
So I know longer preach their good news can you see why?
I don't think that my salvation is tied to preaching the good news that Jehovah's Witnesses preach I think it's tied to preaching the good news that the apostles preached.
maybe i've misunderstood something or misread something but I don't see myself as an apostate do you? and I'm not a Jehovah's Witness now because I don't join with you in the preaching. I have to go with my conscience in these matters even if I am spoken of in a bad way by some.

punkofnice, I'm so busy laughing at the 'Jehu elders' quote that I'm having a hard time answering your questions.
I came here to better understand my overall faith. I'm not focused on the 'corporation'.
Although I dearly love Jehovah's earthly organization, it's just a stepping stone for me to get closer to Jehovah's heavenly organization.
My faith in Jehovah's earthly organization remains unchanged.
This thread has given me a lot to think about. It has really 'stretched' me. There's a lot of intelligent people on this forum. Mislead, but intelligent.

My vow was made under duress. So I say, it's not binding.

Double wow.

If you had even the slightest idea of what WT theology is (which you're so devoted to) you'd understand how absurd your comment is.
My faith in Jehovah's earthly organization remains unchanged.
That's your delusion. In reality, you have no faith in it because you only read WT articles that interest you and ignore the rest, and you dont really care enough about your beliefs to actually understand them.
You've not articulated one JW belief you hold in any clear manner in this entire thread. You describe yourself as a long-time baptized JW, but you've not progressed at all, even by JW standards, and fail to grasp even the most basic JW doctrines. Truly pathetic.
I don't think the word "misled" means what you think it means. Look it up.

After roughly going through this thread, could it be a watcher joined that JW religion in vain?
