Yeah, he should have taken the red pill.

One does not become an apostate if one leaves a religion that manipulates theology, that exploits the naivety of its followers, that collects and asks for material donations, that engages in real estate business, that deceives and lies to the judicial authorities, that does not protect weak and vulnerable people.
The exit of a person from such a religion is called "exit from Babylon the Great", in biblical terminology. And in secular terminology, the process that precedes the decision to leave a group and organization that abuses people's trust is called critical thinking.
If a member of the JWorg or any other religion wants to feel that only he is in the true religion, and that everyone else is in error, he can continue to live in such a sense of self-worth, and self-deception. It is your free will with whom you want and do not want to communicate. Whether someone is a fanatic or is in cognitive dissonance or is misled by promises, that has always been and will be as long as humanity exists.
 

duhnt duhnt duhnt.....another one bites the dust!

I imagine having an electric harp with some reverb and distortion would sound pretty awesome if Prince played it.

Some humor however is not appreciated.
Tuesday is kids night at the Golden Corral, and kids under a certain age are free or reduced price with a paying adult, for dinner.
So I asked the waitress, “… So you serve kids free or at a reduced price on Tuesdays, eh?”
She replied that they did.
I replied “Great!, I’ll take two, with barbecue sauce!”

"The "great crowd" of "other sheep" that is forming today is not in that new covenant. However, by their associating with the "little flock" of those yet in that covenant they come under benefits that flow from that new covenant." Watchtower 1979 Apr 1 p.31
 
"They recognize that they are not spiritual Israelites in the new covenant mediated by Jesus Christ, nor part of the "chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation."-1 Pet. 2:9. Yet they do benefit from the operation of the new covenant. They benefit from this just as, in ancient Israel, the "alien resident" benefited from residing in among the Israelites who were in the Law covenant.-Ex. 20:10; Lev. 19:10, 33, 34; Rev. 7:9-15. To keep in relationship with "our Savior, God," the "great crowd" needs to remain united with the remnant of spiritual Israelites." Watchtower 1979 Nov 15 p.27 Benefiting from "One Mediator Between God and Men

I understand that the 144k and the gb are the only ones under the new covenant?

To go along with this, voting wasn't even a concept for the regular jews back in Jesus's time. 
Since  boyle is terribly naive, when a person votes they are not really voting for a person, but what that person believes is right or represents. For example I myself and a more middle of the road conservative, I believe abortion is murder and is wrong so I am going to vote for a candidate who believes the same way and will use their influence to end abortions. Or believe in diplomacy over war, being a good steward of the taxes we pay, etc. 
I'm glad the jw version of the paradise isn't going to happen, I couldn't imagine the dictatorship of the governing body would go over very well with Jesus.

Oh, don't be sorry about that. I don't know why you got your hopes up. I already knew those things - maybe your expectations were too high? I told you am low and like a kid inside. You can't expect too much from somebody like that, @boyle, come on.😆

Jesus didn't say people couldn't vote. 
 
The Bible says to be in subjection to the governmental authorities. If someone impresses you into service one mile, go two. Many governments utilize the voting process. Putting a ballot in a box is not an act of worship. Choosing one official over another for a position in the government is not an act of worship.
 
The first century governing body said, "abstain from blood, immorality, and what is strangled." There was nothing there about political party cards.

WOW!
Those Norwegians are really SERIOUS about basic human decency and basic human rights!
WHO KNEW?
I guess being invaded and occupied by the Nazis during WWII made them sensitive about such things.

I was at a stoplight, when this scraggly non-Caucasian with some brochures and a can motioned for me to roll my window down 
He was asking for contributions to the BLFM, and I put two dollars in his can.
as he turned, a I asked “What is the BLFM?”.
He replied “Better Lunches For Me”.
 

They are bored, and need something constructive to do with their free time.
Perhaps being mauled by a pack of Pittbulls, then they would have scabs to pick at.
….. and too much disposable income, too.

Your a good example that God does permit ignorance and stupidity.
