I suspect no other org on the planet comes close to the W/T in turning peoples attention to the "Truth".
God uses whomever it pleases Him to carry out His Will, as the prophet John himself pointed out:
"Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones." — Matthew 3:9
New Living Translation
The rest is details. And people
love to debate details, don't they?
As made abundantly clear from the scriptural record, the Pharisees were so utterly convinced
they were the appointed leaders of the people Jehovah was using at that time to carry out His Purpose that they couldn't even
entertain the possibility they were yesterday's news. It was
their insistence, to be fair here, that ultimately led to the utter destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem. That level of pompous stupidity and unbridled arrogance was
dealt with, firm and fair, by Jehovah. It isn't like He didn't
warn them. Yet every messenger sent to them to warn them was killed by these men. So, Jehovah roused something
mean and
terrible that brought an end not only to their cherished Temple and Jerusalem, but that
multitude that had gone up to Jerusalem for the Passover festival— which happened to be one of three festivals that were required even of those living far off. So
everyone was to be there.
And the flood of destruction came.
"I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the mason’s level.” Hail will sweep away the false refuge, and water will flood your hiding place. Your covenant with Death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not last. When the overwhelming catastrophe passes through, you will be trampled... Only terror will cause you to understand the message. — Isaiah 28:17-18, 19b
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jehovah closed the door, evidenced by the second and final siege (the initial siege was pended due to Roman politics, which allowed for anyone still inside Jerusalem to get out of Dodge, including the straggling Jewish Christians. Last-minuters. I don't mind speculating that maybe there were also some hardcore Jewish Christians who happened to be there during the first siege, trying to convince
anyone who would listen to the message that would save their life. Still speculating, but I would think that they would have known when the initial siege ended that the end had arrived for Jerusalem and the Temple, and they left. There's tradition out there that they went to Pella, but that's a less important detail than that they left.).
Even so: A great many souls met their end when the Romans came back. Bad,
bad times were had by all inside those walls as the Romans just waited outside, and cut down anyone who tried leaving.
That's how far the delusional conviction benefited those Pharisees who fancied themselves men appointed over the people whom Jehovah was then carrying out His Purpose. And, unfortunately, they took a great many people, sincere or not, down
with them in their arrogance.

The great advantage of learning is that it allows one to reason independently rather than trust others for the truth of the matter. NASA is a government run agency - the same government that issued the vaccinations and has waged war over the last century, invited millions of refugees into the country and persecuted its own people, while slaughtering Palestine and other nations along with their Israeli friends. Note that I did not rule out a landing, but simply questioned it. I obviously don’t understand rocketry and landing on the moon, but if you pop into your local hospital and ask the radiographer why he wears protective clothing especially over his reproductive organs and then multiply that by the extreme radiation in the van Allen belt and which the said astronauts spent hours flying through - not just a second for an x-Ray - then it may give you pause for thought. No other country has gone to the moon in the past 55 years either - not even China - and China is way ahead of nasa in high tech as well. As I said - I don’t claim to know whether nasa landed on the moon with less technology than you have in your watch, I just think it highly unlikely. I will gladly retract if proved wrong.
) it was on the day the Pope died and he was taking the micky out of all the millions of worshippers the Pope had and how ridiculous any kind of worship is and that it's all made up and man made and there's no such thing as God. He then asked me what I thought about the subject (knowing full well I've been a witness for 40yrs
