Steve2 - "WTWizard I do enjoy your posts - you write well and with lots of feeling. Your reworking of the organization's language snd names is wonderfully irreverent. Jokehovians bursts a necessary bubble or two and I love the reference to the Asleep! Magazine. Your nicely sly humor suggests someone who refuses to take religious bigotry seriously and beyond that, your observations are sharp and sensible."
Just wait 'til he starts in on Satan...
Rotten Riley - "Is the Watchtower destroying all thinking skills of new Witnesses?"
They don't really need to; most new recruits these days are those who's thinking skills are already diminished.
The Sunburst Cult, I had a friend who was deeply involved with the cult that grew lots of Organic Fruit out by Santa Ynez, they were far worse than JWs but still are a Cult!
We talked for hours about life in the Sunburst Cult, she said they would not give the members "meats and proteins", experts in psychology and nutrition say the leaders starve the brains of their cult-followers because the brain needs proteins and without them they become even more succept to High Group Mind Control crazy beliefs.
The Following are one Bible passage and quotes from JW-Facts usisng the Watchtower's own materials showing JWs don't believe Jesus Christ is the Mediator for all Mankind!
The first Bible Truth eliminated from the Jehovah's Witness diet is " the world has ever seen). That is the fact that the apostle Paul stated dogmatically that "there is ONE God, and ONE mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (I Timothy 2:5)"
Watchtower teaches
"Who is the mediator for Jehovah's Witnesses? Not Jesus! Though rarely mentioned, Jesus is not mediator to the Great Crowd of Jehovah's Witnesses or for the rest of mankind.
"The "great crowd" of "other sheep" that is forming today is not in that new covenant. However, by their associating with the "little flock" of those yet in that covenant they come under benefits that flow from that new covenant."Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31
"They recognize that they are not spiritual Israelites in the new covenant mediated by Jesus Christ, nor part of the "chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation."-1 Pet. 2:9. Yet they do benefit from the operation of the new covenant. They benefit from this just as, in ancient Israel, the "alien resident" benefited from residing in among the Israelites who were in the Law covenant.-Ex. 20:10; Lev. 19:10, 33, 34; Rev. 7:9-15. To keep in relationship with "our Savior, God," the "great crowd" needs to remain united with the remnant of spiritual Israelites." Watchtower 1979 Nov 15 p.27 Benefiting from "One Mediator Between God and Men"
Where is Jesus in that statement?

"Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members." Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" pp.10-11
Watchtower
"So in this strict Biblical sense Jesus is the"mediator" only for anointed Christians."
Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31Bible
"… one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all."
1 Timothy 2:5,6
