while your post is so true in terms of the way it should be this is the problem>
*** w57 6/15 370 Overseers of Jehovah's People ***
It is vital that we appreciate this fact and respond to the directions of the “slave” as we
would to the voice of God, because it is His provision.
now with the above being the position of the Society that we they print something it is to be viewed as the "voice of God"
it doesn't leave alot of room for what you have very well describe.
so while i agree with your post 100%, due to the psotion taken by the Society- your veiws simply don't fit in with thier "Program"
for a long time i felt just like you- the avg jw is a good person loves god wants to do right
would give you the shirt off thier back- many times i recall our family would travel and our car would break down or something we would find the nearest phone - look up jw and call and out would come some bro 3am with a smile to help.
so for me i have never had a problem with the rank and file jw unlike many i see who post here- i was well treated and enjoyed lots of responsiblities in the org
my concern was with the "Man behind the curtain"
when you read a quote like the above where does it all you to disagree with God.
but i did enjoy your post- but due to the fact that many jw have the view and the Society's knows that they do as well :
"If it't in Print Jah has Spoken" mindset i feel very little will every really change in WT World
