Does WBTS failure to self-deprecate prove lack of God's spirit?
by Fernando in(luke 17:10) .
.so you, also, when you have done all the things assigned to you, say, we are good-for-nothing slaves.
what we have done is what we ought to have done.. (matthew 20:25-27) .

How many have gotten interested in Human Services, Charity, Social Justice, Social Work and the like after awakening to Watchtower aberrance?
by Fernando inwhilst under watchtower influence i had little interest or awareness in these areas.. now they have become a passion.. i wonder if it has something to do with the "cult identity or self" versus the "authentic identity or self" as outlined by steven hassan in the "interacting with dual identities" chapter of his book "releasing the bonds - empowering people to think for themselves".. who has had a similar experience and/or change of career related to unplugging from the watchtower?.
or a story to tell?.

Wikileaks style anonymous "JW leaks" dropbox anyone?
by Fernando inthis post was inspired by rory-ks' post at http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/224582/1/so-lets-kick-this-revolution-up-a-gear.. a general strike?.
in response to an open ended innocuous call like:.
"if you are not 100% satisfied with everything you see, hear and experience within the congregation please join your brothers and sisters in communicating this to the powers that be by means of a general worship at home strike starting from 21 dec 2012 until all your concerns have been satisfactorily addressed via www.jwconcerns.com"?.

Is it more difficult to help our loved ones escape the MATRIX if we still share common elements of BLINDNESS with the Watchtower?
by Fernando input three people in a matrix controlled room.. "gb" actively supports the matrix and is under its control.. "jw" passively supports the matrix and is under its control.. "exjw" is onto the matrix and rejects its control.. there is an off switch that will kill the matrix.
the matrix has hidden this switch from everyone in the room by blinding their minds.. each person owns a low-level encrypted life operations library with millions of circuit diagrams, and a series of decryption keys.
unbeknownst to all of them, one of these diagrams is a map leading to the off switch.. someone outside the room slips a note under the door which names and identifies the circuit diagram or map in several languages.. everyone sees and reads the note.. "gb" burns the note and denounces it as "apostasy".. "jw" has fleeting "cognitive dissonance" but silences it by repeating the mantra:.

Can you do a better job than Jesus of FREEING yourself and your loved ones from the Watchtower (religion)?
by Fernando inraymond franz never thought he could.. he opened his heart to the full message about jesus.. this message is called the gospel or "good news" (according to paul, moses, isaiah, psalms and others).. raymond realised jesus is against religious rule making, imposing and keeping (called "legalism" and "moralism").. .

Have you wondered "WHERE else could I go"?
by Fernando inthe question has an inbuilt fatal flaw.
it forces only one answer nowhere.. this question is also based on a false premise that we can be right with god if we find and follow the correct rules, doctrines, moral code and knowledge.
this is in direct opposition to what paul teaches over and over on imputed righteousness (justification, being counted as righteous, as a free gift that cannot be earned, deserved or paid for).
