. I have come to the conclusion that rather than asking, "where would I go if not here?" (the WTS) it would be more appropriate to say "If not here, then nowhere."
Noggin, one thing that may help you is to realize that the JW's like to twist those questions into a "where" query. The Bible, in contrast, actually uses a "who" query: 'Lord, to whom should we go away to, for you have sayings of everlasting light?'
Because the WTS is so focused on building up the hierarchical organization, they have twisted the Biblical focus on Jesus into a focus on their organization. They are not one and the same. An important distinction for any Christian to make.
This message has been brought to you by a fair-minded, polite non-Christian.
