I suspect that JWs view Watchtower (and by implication the Governing Body) as Jehovah himself.
Why?
Some reasons:
- If you leave Watchtower, you leave Jehovah. If you join (or re-join) Watchtower, you join (or re-join) Jehovah.
- If you are critical of Watchtower you are critical of Jehovah.
- If you hold up Watchtower you hold up Jehovah.
- Watchtower says what is right and what is wrong, aligning with scripture through some imaginative interpretation and even rewriting of scripture.
- Watchtower says that association with the organisation (Watchtower) in necessary for salvation.
- Members who disagree with Watchtower can and do get shunned.
- Forums
- Philosophy & Religion
