While out in the 'field service, [ going door to door with the Watchtower literature] I truly believed I was doing a service for God. I loved meeting people, although there were some who were down right hateful, but for the most part, the majority were patient and kind. Some householders offered to pray with me. Yet I wonder, after leaving their doorstep, how many had prayed for me? This is what the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Mormon youths need most, they need your prayers!
The average Jehovah's Witness are convinced they have 'the truth', that it makes it very difficult to penetrate their belief barrier. I know because I was one of them.
Yet, prayer is our most powerful tool because only God, by Holy Spirit, can open ears and open eyes to the true word of God and too, he can close them.
Deut 29:4-" Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. [see also Psalm 40:6; Romans 11:8; 2 Tim 4:3, 2 Tim 4:4]
There is only one way to the Father. Jesus said "I am THE WAY.
And there is only One source of TRUTH, Christ said,"I AM THE TRUTH and there is only one way to LIFE, Jesus said, "I am LIFE", no one comes to the Father except through me."
See John 14:6
How does a person go through Christ in order to 'come to the Father?
Jesus said,"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved,"
I don't necessarily agree with all the teachings of pbministries, but I did
appreciate their article on Christ The Door;

The Reasons I disassociated myself from the Watchtower Society
I was born and raised a Jehovah's Witness. Most of my life was dedicated to it's agenda. The Watchtower expects it's members to 'keep in step with 'Jehovah's Organization.' They did not say,"keep in step with Christ". And yet, the Watchtower publications make it's members believe they are foot step followers of Christ. Is there a difference?
And just because a following calls itself God's Organization doesn't necessarily mean that it is.
Matthew 24:24-
"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."
Luke 17:22-24-"Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after them or follow them. For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day."
In other words, no one will need to tell people Christ has returned because his return will be extremely obvious, just as lightening that flashes out of one part of under heaven shines to the other part under heaven.
Did anyone see any sign of Christ's return in 1914?
The Watchtower Society teach it's members Christ returned in 1914 and then in 1919 Christ chose them because they were doing an outstanding job giving Christ's household spiritual enriching food at the proper time.
Here is a sample of the 'spiritual food' the Watchtower Society fed it's members in the past during those years Christ was said to have rewarded them for their excellent work.

What do you think of the spiritual food they provided? Do you think Christ would approve? Many of their teachings prior to 1919 have been altered since then.
