If any group tries to use guilt or fear inducing tactics, it is wise to walk away from it.

If the idea of Jesus as messiah was so appealing to the majority jews as you say why did and do most of them reject him?
runForever, this is an excellent question and one that I have thought a lot about in my journey out of 'faith'. My conclusion is that most Jews thought he was a nutball. Just like today, if someone tells us they are Jesus and the Messiah, we dismiss them as delusional whack jobs needing treatment.

LogCon, thank you. I am copying this list. I think it is very impactful. I also think that most Christians do not know the extensiveness of the blood shed legacy they represent.
A large part of parenting is by example. I don't think God sets any sort of good standard for excellent parenting.

I am cautiously optimistic for you. I hope he doesn't have any ulterior motives. But I think aging in this religion makes most people wonder and number of things, particularly why Armageddon is taking its sweet time in getting here.
A few years back I think my Dad finally realized that he had grown old and that he was going to die. He has alienated most of his family who aren't JWs. The other family who are JWs don't have much to do with him either.
The failed promises of this organization are its achilles heel.

Window-washer is the cover of Feb 2015 WT, "How to enjoy your work!" Hahaha!!
by EndofMysteries in.
after all the jokes and satire on this website about jw's only being able to amount to window washers and house cleaners, the cover page of "how to enjoy your work" showing a window washer and cleaner in the back ground.
i almost wonder if some awakened, still-in, from this site is part of the writing department or illustrations and put that in there as an inside joke for us?.

"Waiting on Jehovah" = Nothing Gets Done + People Get Hurt
This philosophy of the Watchtower's creates what I call 'do nothing people'. It is in direct contrast to "Be Proactive", the 1st Habit from Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
And yep, I would have to say, JWs aren't very effective. 'Nuff said.

"These guys will deny and deny. They are belligerent, they are arrogant, they treat victims as adversaries," Zalkin told UT San Diego. "This is not an organization that is ready to accept the reality of what they have been doing."

How would you respond to this defense made on behalf of The Watchtower's Child Abuse lawsuits?
by adjusted knowledge indetails of the society's child abuse policies have been published in jehovah's witnesses' publications, although more specific guidelines are only made available to elders, or on request.
press releases issued by the watch tower society's office of public information confirm that if a person accused of molestation repeatedly denies the charges of his victim, and there is no other witness to the incident, "the elders cannot take action within the congregation at that time", but would report to authorities if required by local laws.
our families jehovahs witnesses and child protection.

What I see is that Watchtower's own policies are bringing reproach on Jehovah's name. They've bitten off their own tail and now they are bleeding.
