I did all those things at the beginning. I'll admit the taste was quite pleasant at one time. Then it turned sour; then so bitter that I couldn't swallow any more. I knew it was time to exit stage left. That's exactly what I did.

Yes and it tasted like lies, deceit, ignorance and corruption so I spat it out

and swore to never taste it again , I encourage everyone not to for the same reasons

If you did all those things year in and year out, would it make the WT teachings correct?

Or would it just indoctrinate you to such a degree that you would think they were all correct and not question them, and thereby feel better about it all?

3) Did you APPRECIATE your spiritual heritage? - Huh?

4) Did you reach out for additional PRIVILEGES of SERVICE? - Occasionally

5) Did you give a BOLD and thorough WITNESS? - No

6) Were your comments MEANINGFUL? - I guess so

7) Did you have the ZEAL of Jehu? - No way

8) Did you show yourself THANKFUL? - No

9) Did you BUY OUT the time for more personal study? No

10) Did you meet or exceed the NATIONAL AVERAGE of publisher hours? Rarely

11) Did you INVITE your relatives, friends, co-workers and bible studies to the Memorial? Once

12) Did you take advantage of the MEMORIAL SEASON? No

13) Did you have the PIONEER SPIRIT? Once or twice

I did not appreciate the goodness of Jehovah's organisation.

Question 3 about "spiritual heritage".

I really didn't know much about it except for bits and pieces. Then along came the "Kingdom Proclaimers" book in 1993. It promised to be a frank discussion of Watchtower history. It failed, and I knew it even when I was a faithful JW.

Now since 2000 I've been on the outside, and have studied closely the real history of the Watchtower organization. What a shameful heritage my parents tried to pass on. Of course, they view it with rose-colored glasses.

To think Jehovah's organization tastes good, you have to fool yourself.
