I don't think the average jw likes to admit they essentially teach salvation though works and obedience and there dogma is one is outside of having a relationship with God.

41Watchtower Doctrines JWs most commonly don't believe
by Diogenesister inthere was a recent thread on another site where posters maintained that many of the *most* long-standing jw's don't believe at least one official watchtower doctrine.
i've even read reports from bethelites saying they've heard bethel overseers say they don't believe some watchtower theology.
this made me think - i believe there are a few official doctrines that are common for many jw's to be either in denial about or simply not really believe ( often one and the same thing).. i'd say these are pretty high in the ranking:.

After being in the so-called "Truth" makes me despise all religions.
by Fader812 inafter being a jw made me lose trust in religion, from the lies, hypocrisy and greed of this organization made me lose faith completely.
what does one do after this mind f$%@, what is there to look forward to?
do i make up my own agnostic theory in head and hope for the best?

Call me crazy but I think the whole of the watchtower is to make you an atheist to begin with.
I take expection that all other mainstream Christian denominations are as nearly as stupid and evil as the WTS.

Is any of this stuff peer reviewed by actual scientists? It kind of seems like an incredible waste of time to both read and write if it isn't.

field service on a special day wouldn't be appropriate.

Yet I saw the ubers out in full force this morning.
Are they really that fucking dumb that they can't figure out why maybe today isn't a good field service day?

I hope you realize that the WTS uses planned parenthood rulings when dealing with pregnant mothers and the issue of giving a women a blood transfusion to save the life of her unborn child. Guess what, it's a fetus with no rights as a person according to the WTS.
I have often thought it was kind of rich for the WTS to worry about things 4H or girls scouts while pulling shit like that.

Roughneck on an oil service rig. Pay was great but it was dirty and dangerous and a mean crew of workers.
I was 100 feet in the air and I smelled pot smoke one day. I quit on the spot.

I think you should question of stupidity of the needless legalisms of this self proclaimed channel to God.
Effecting your relationship with Jehovah lol. Good one.
If the history of doctoral flip flops, questionable NWT and basically building an entire theology on the book of revelations and idolatrous worship of the governing body doesn't effect your relationship with God, don't worry about 4H.
