It's curious brownboy. You say that the WTS works in accordance to the bible, and I beleive you. The problem is that hundreds of religion work in accordance to the bible. Even the utterings of David Koresh were supported by one scripture or other. The difference comes from the deacon's decision as to what parts are to be decided literaly or figurativly. It also comes down to what scriptures are to be stressed above others and which ones are to be obscured of ignored completly. My questions are, what proof or reasoning do you use to decide that the WTS interpretation of the scriptures is better than others? What proof or reasoning do you use to decided that their changes in doctrine are devinely inspired by a direct pipeline to God? Finally, what proof or reasoning do you use to decide that none of the other churches have this pipeline? I'm not asking these questions to be troublesome. I realise and accept that many people have greatly improved their lives by becomming JW's and are perfectly happy in the org. Still, I'd love to see your thoughts on the matter because these are three of the issues that have stopped me from going back. To me it seems that the changes in doctrine are self serving and often defy logic.
