I would like to share my message to my JW friend I sent:
Dear friend,
I had many nagging questions from the beginning as soon as I started study with JW people. They were very irritated with my questions; all of them!!! That's the main reason why I could not trust their operation of their organization. It is much worse than trinitarian churches. I have attended many trinitarian churches(many denominations).
But I hang on to them because I wanted have their bible knowledge.
I tried to control my feeling about how controlling they are but could not resist expressing my feelings. So after about a year I finally agreed with them not to study with them. They could not take it anymore of my confrontations.
I truly hope you be honest about your organization and reexamine truthfully.
This is my conviction that your organization is worshipping your few elite (you are calling them anointed ones). You are treating them as if they are infallible.
Jesus is giving all of His followers equal opportunity of servanthood. Jesus is telling us not to call anyone they are our teachers. Jesus is our teacher, my friend.
I believe they can continue their way of operation because of their clever tactics to control their members. They are clever about how they recruit their members. They are chosing people who are willing to submit to their organization instead of Jesus.
Their publications and sermons are mostly self admirations. It is so shameful as Jesus' followers.
I like your candid way of talking even though many christians don't like the way you talk. I hope we can continue to be friends.
sincerely, hitomi
