What do you mean, it doesn't work? Every person is a mix of "unrighteous" and "righteous" living together in the same physical body. It's obviously possible. Like it or not, if you don't learn to focus on and allow God/love to govern you from within, no outside force or Watchtower organization can save you from the suffering you inflict on yourself and others. Fortunately, Love is patient, and it won't give up on you, unlike Jehovah.

Yes, each of us is, metaphorically, an "earth" that is passing away. I don't fear, because God/Love never fails, unlike an organization run by humans (which in the case of the Watchtower is failing miserably).

Human history is littered with some pretty awful things. To think you just happen to be living in the worst of it is, not only factually incorrect but pretty self-absorbed.

Especially if you live in a 1st world country like the majority of people who think that way do. Oohh look how horrible with homosexuality and the divorce rate and the disrespect for authority and the hating on Christians.....
Entire groups of people have been slaughtered by the millions...This is just what we know about
Doesn't Jehovah value law over life? Isn't that why the Watchtower tells people to refuse a blood transfusions? The dietary law of abstaining from blood supersedes the santicty of life?

Would not the giving of blood in a transfusion to save a life be parallel to Christ giving his blood to save lives?

I think Jesus had something to say on law in Luke 14
1One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely. 2Right there in front of Him was a man with dropsy. 3So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”… 4But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way. 5And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?” 6And they were unable to answer these questions.…

It is good to hear that he healed one with congestive heart failure, liver failure, kidney failure, or malnutrition.
Perhaps, he merely gave the person some (consecrated) bread to eat, showing or exhibiting compassion.
A Woman with a Disabling Spirit (Luke 13:10-17)
Now he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who had had a disabling spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not fully straighten herself. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said to her, "Woman, you are freed from your disability." And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified God. But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, "There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day." Then the Lord answered him, "You hypocrites! Does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the manger and lead it away to water it? And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?" As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.

Are you kidding!
The anointed ones blood that saves is not of the flesh!
“If you do not eat the flesh of the son of man and drink His blood you have no life in you. For my flesh is true food and my blood is honest drink.”
