From the darkness and uncertainty of Jehovah's Witnesses to the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven

No longer dead, but made alive by God Himself to be an heir with Jesus Christ by faith and grace alone.

Maintaining the "Grand Illusion"

I like how PropMin points out in his article how the Watchtower Society still has a hold on some former--or even borderline for that matter-- Witnesses who wish to see a reform take place.

They do this simply to maintain "the 'grand illusion' that the Watchtower Society was ever specially chosen or even used by God as his 'organization'.
PropMin: "Yet, the very heart of the problem, is this: “still love the organization”.I would submit that if you love an “organization”, YOU have fallen into idolatry.I would also submit, that if you are looking for an apology from the Watchtower, you have terribly misjudged who these “men” really are. They don’t care about you, your family, or your friends; only the maintenance of their authoritative, corporate oligarchy."Somewhere the governing body has made a wrong turn"? They never did make a right turn; take a hard look at how many hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people over the years who have been adversely affected by wrongful disfellowshippings, "apostate" labels, false hopes, or loosing their health or their outright lives because of the Watchtowers teachings of medical quackery (such as those regarding immunizations and organ transplants)."

I would also add in response to the person who claims that "if you’re one of the many who have become disillusioned with them and have come to the conclusion that Jehovah doesn’t have a people, think again! The Witnesses simply have too much good and too much potential to be lightly cast aside. However, changes need to be made… and very soon!"

Please understand that your starting point, of humans being good and with potential, is completely untrue.

Romans 3:10 “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; 11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; 12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”
