Those things came about as a result of sin--we live in a corrupted world.
God will eventually make the world into a paradise.

There are lots of excellent preachers and evangelists. There are also lots
of Grandmothers and others. They spend lots of time praying and
fellowshipping with God. I am not saying that every preacher, evangelist
and Grandmother is involved in fellowship with God--however, some of them
do have fellowship with God. In my church, I know several members that
spend lots of time in prayer each day. One of the ladies has a prayer list
that has about 50 names on it and she prays for everyone of them everyday.

Praying is not "fellowshipping" as anyone can tell you. There is no one
opposite you drinking a cold soda or replying to what you say. There is no
discussions. No sharing of thoughts and ideas. No hand to squeeze when
they have a problem. No one to take a walk with and talk about the economy
or the weather.

I am not saying that every preacher, evangelist

See above. Praying is not fellowshipping. You and the other JWs who
"fellowship" at the KHs don't pray to each other. Members of clubs who
fellowship together don't pray to each other. The invisable silent "god"
involved isn't likely to pray to his victims/followers.

In my church, I know several members that

Praying to invisible silent magical beings isn't fellowshipping. Can you
ever stay on topic?

Not all of them are stupid but almost all are very gullible, poorly educated
and have lover IQs than most. Research, posted here a few years back, shows
that the majority of JWs are mentally ill. The WTS takes advantage of that
fact. You have no idea how the WTS manipulates them, brain washes them and
uses FEAR and INTIMIDATION to control them. The WTS brags how sheep like
they become. Jason is only one of many who have lost all individuality and
ability to think for himself. The WTS highly discourages independent
thinking. They don't deny it. It would take a professional deprogrammer
weeks to free Jason from this cult of book and magazine peddlers.
