There's only one correct answer: Opium.
That's the big secret. Dubs are just another religion, part of the "Bablylon the Great' they self-righteously condemn, better than some, worse than others, but no different - and that is the thing that, when you expose it, just drives 'em crazy.

Definitely, if religion is the opiate of the people, then the Watchtower Society is the most potent heroin, laced with other drugs that make it work even better. It is addictive and will ruin your brain. Breaking out of the Watchtower Society is at least as hard as quitting horse--I have seen people quit smoking (the most addictive substance known to man is nicotine) and fail to quit the Watchtower Society.

This tattoo is a symbol of my past. It is on my right hip symbolising my rejection of right-wing conservativism. The poppy is the source of Opium and when reading Thomas de Quincey’s Confessions of an Opium Eater (1785-1859) some years ago, I found this, which in some ways is how it felt to be a JW:
"I was stared at, hooted at, grinned at, chattered at, by monkeys, by paroquets, by cockatoos. I ran into pagodas, and was fixed, for centuries, at the summit, or in secret rooms: I was the idol; I was the priest; I was worshipped; I was sacrificed. I fled from the wrath of Brama through all the forests of Asia: Vishnu hated me; Seva laid wait for me. I came suddenly upon Isis and Osiris; I had done a deed, they said, which the ibis and the crocodile trembled at. I was buried for a thousand years, in stone coffins, with mummies and sphinxes, in narrow chambers at the heart of eternal pyramids. I was kissed, with cancerous kisses, by crocodiles; and laid, confounded with all unuttemble slimy things, amongst reeds and Nilotic mud".
The poppy in my tattoo represents religion from Karl Marx’s saying "Religion is the opium of the people" (opiate of the masses is a misquote). The spider’s web as in Agatha Christie’s play is the web of lies. This represents all the lies I was brought up with as a JW and the trap they formed, sticky and difficult to extract oneself from. The two are as bad as each other - organized religion in general and the one I was brought up with – and so they are inextricably linked and I reject them both – organized religion and the individual organization of lies I have suffered at the hands of.
The whole experience was very therapeutic. Now I have a symbol, an emblem, something of my own construction. I loved designing it, thinking about it and I loved having it scored into my skin.
That phrase was what inspired my tattoo.
