Maximum level of hypocrisy-Jeffrey Winder: Our Modesty Benefits Others (Matt. 22:39)

It's always been up to each individual and their conscience before God to make their own decisions in life, the message in the word is clear and given to all freely, more than ever in our age. If you fell for someones trickery and you didn't test their words against the scriptures, then you need to take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others for your own failure to heed the warning messages in the word.
Even if you did poison yourself in some way by listening to bad advice, don't fear because through God there is nothing that can't be overcome.

I would have to contend with the issues of responsibility. It is not a cut and dried issue. Are those deceived responsible? What then is deception? Did not Jehovah remonstrate with Adam? Did not Christ call out the Pharisees for their deception? When Adam was remonstrated with he chose not to apologise, but to justify. But that is not the case with the witnesses of today that listen and consider and make amendments (and end up here). Their conscience being informed works to find a solution. They respond. But being deceived is not a sin. It only becomes sin when continued in with understanding. This is the purpose then of preaching to alleviate ignorance and to let choice be based on truth. The message is anything but clear - the whole of earths population can attest to that. This is the difference between “wisdom” and “understanding Wisdom” (of God) and not our own. This then is the choice that will be made when the veil is lifted, hopefully by the majority of those actively seeking Jehovah. That is the driver - actively seeking. The trouble with religion and watchtower is that they do not allow people to know Jehovah. They are deluded. Hence the inability to seek. Some are delaying within watchtower in the hope of being there for when the veil is lifted. Personally, I do blame watchtower for lying to me and deceiving me. They fooled me totally.

The way I see it, they didn't fool me. Jehovah used them to explain the meaning of life blah blah. But because I kept my eyes wide open I was constantly seeing stuff inside and outside, over the years and it was convid that made me feel and think that Jehovah had removed himself from the org and I couldn't see where he had gone to so I started looking and found out that he hasn't gone anywhere 😍 I feel the GB are going to really struggle trying to convince the brothers and sisters that Jehovah is still backing them. Maybe that's why they've been acting so weird these past few months? They don't seem to have any real answers to serious questions and topics and only seem able to throw out a few "niceties" to us. They can probably sense that Jehovah has withdrawn his spirit and they must know it's to do with the CSA and the injections. Or, Satan is very clever and has deceived ME into leaving the real place where Jehovah is? 😅

I certainly don’t think Satan has deceived you. The key is in what you say yourself…you were searching. Free to question and challenge. Free to establish your own faith with discussion with everyone here. How can you loose? “Ask and you will receive. Seek, and you will find”. what do you find? Faith, - your own. Not what watchtower says it is! See for yourself.
