no lamb-tracker - shame on you.
If you felt pressure deep down to measure up, that is your problem not the rest of the whole souled Publishers who do it all for the love of it.
Don't assume that everyone else feels the same way you do.
As for following men, you of all people should know that we submit to the Theocratic Order which has as it's head Jesus Christ. He has appointed the Governing Body of the slave, not men, and the Governing Body is not answerable to any men, neither should it be.
The Governing Body has proven since 1919 that it is the slave Jesus told us about which would be here today.
You show me one other body of faithful men providing food so consistently for so long?
Anyway, for all the faults of the human beings that make up the Society that you have catalogued, you will not find ONE other Organization that is so devoted to the vindication of Jehovah's Name in the earth, and that is what he cares most about.
Sure, the Society has been sifted in the past, and will be sifted in the future of all the hypocrasy which no doubt exists, but it remains and will remain the only table at which to get the proper food - anywhere else is the table of devils.
And for all the hypocrasy you speak of, what about the hypocrasy of being the PO and the Watchtower conductor, yet spouting this sort of rubbish. You should go and speak to the divinely appointed elders, and acknowledge your sins in leading many astray and repent.
