My initial post to you at doubting Thomas certainly generated some huge current that made most of the fuse available and at your disposal almost blow up.
What side are you on @ doubting Thomas
1. SENILE side
Or

And what about the LIES to leave work and attend meetings.
See this example in the watchtower of July 1, 2013.......
A man named Lionel states: “My workmates lie and call in sick when they are not really sick. Religion is something that they have but don’t use—like a piece of furniture just for show.”
The JWs are equally guilty of this. How many of members do these repeatedly week in week out to leave work they were contracted or signed up for?
They sure know how to use their RELIGION just for Show.

TRUTH is not confined to the so called spiritual paradise of WTBTS.
Let me take a wild guess, the dislike I got from my initial post is from the doubting Thomas who cannot stomach the fact that WTBTS pushes it members to the CHURCHES directly or indirectly.

Love this sweet line in bold.......
It's a title that qualifies you for more work. But it gives you a deeper look at the "inside operation" of the Cult. Sometimes that appointment is what takes a sincere brother right out of the Troof

Using WATCHTOWER own Response as captured in their magazine of July 2013....
Suppose you need to have surgery for a life-threatening illness. You would want to have the utmost confidence in the surgeon, since your life will be in his hands. Would it not be prudent to review his record of experience?
Similarly, it is wise to examine religion carefully. If you belong to a religious organization, you are, in effect, putting your spiritual life in its hands. This includes your prospects for salvation....... July 1 2013
Why???????
1. WTBTS hands are not clean or safe
2. Prospects for SALVATION bleak.
3. Complete lack of trust and confidence in the 8 only men at the WTBTS HQs dishing out imperfect spiritual food that on the long term and run accumulates to POISONS that kills it members or leads them from WTBTS to CHURCHES
4. Review of past records and experience , revisionist records and experience, outlawed records and experience, past truth, present truth, future truth is making member become what the WTBTS calls APOSTATES and the following consequence is to move from WTBTS to CHURCHES.
5. Many became a member to find SOLUTION to the LIFE THREATENING problems they face only to find out in the long term and run how WORSENING their cases had become.
In summary WHY???? WTBTS pushed them to the CHURCHES😁😁😁😁😁
I hope with these few points of mine I am able to convince you and not to confuse you as to WHY?

The Big Lie JW`s Tell The Courts !
by smiddy3 inimho, its the one rodney spinks and terry o`brien parroting the governing body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the arc.. this is a blatant lie and misrepresents the truth,.and they know it.. when a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the governing body`s teachings ,doctrines and practices of the religion of jehovah`s witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.. especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.. they try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.. shame on them for perpetuating such a lie..

One wonders what difference it makes when they treat those they disfellowshipped equally as those who disassociated.
They know they were LYING. Since they already made it clear that disfellowshipped members are to be shunned. The Shunning comes from them since they say actions towards disfellowshipped members applies to disassociated members.
The worst is classing disassociated and disfellowshipped members as people actively leading others to sin.

SETTING LIMITS ON HOW TO LOVE by the the Guardians of Our Doctrines (G. O. D)
by Longlivetherenegades ina balanced view of jesus’ role.
like those in christendom, the early bible students mistakenly allowed their love for jesus to overshadow their relationship with jehovah.
beginning in 1919, however, they came to see that jehovah and their relationship with him should be the focus of their worship.

A Balanced View of Jesus’ Role
Like those in Christendom, the early Bible Students mistakenly allowed their love for Jesus to overshadow their relationship with Jehovah. Beginning in 1919, however, they came to see that Jehovah and their relationship with him should be the focus of their worship. We can be thankful that we understand that our affection for Jesus is key to having a relationship with Jehovah. We must attach neither too much nor too little importance to our love for Jesus.—John 16:27...... Watchtower April 2020 study edition
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH?
Jesus said that one of the greatest commandments of God is to “love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31) Did Jesus place a limit on loving our neighbor based on where that neighbor lives or on what nationality he is? No. He told his disciples: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:34, 35) Their love for one another would be so extraordinary that it would be an identifying mark. They would rather give their life for one another than to take life from others....... Watchtower July 1, 2013 (Can you trust religion and war)
Legislation on love at it's peak.
