Okay, I will back off the coercion path and try a new one.

You said:

If you know anything about the bible, it states that Jehovah has people whom he calls his own.

yes, and according to watchtower lit, he always had an organization. So before the Bible students it was the anabaptists or some such religion.

Now think about you reasoning Cheeky. You said He has people He calls his own. If He had a particular group before the WTS, as the literature claims, then those that left this "true religion" (hey JWs weren't selected until 1919), then they are also, by your own logic, leaving Jehovah's "people".

Can you see that? If there was always an organization that Jehovah used, and this org had Jehovah's favor beofre 1919, then those that left it, or criticized it were critisizing jehovah. That is of course by your reasoning.

I wouldn't be surprised if you were unaware that the JWs taught that Jehovah had another "true religion" before the WTS. I once asked an elder about the "Jehovah always had an organization" claim and he gave me all the info on anabaptists and other "true religions". I had never heard it before.

So, I am not bashing Jehovah when I make a negative statement on the WTS, no more than the early Bible students who left Jehovah's true church prior to 1919 were.

. Just as every other religion in the world says the same thing..

No, this is not true, Every other religion in the world does not accuse someone of bashing jehovah if they question their religion. Only the cults do that.
