This is where "righteous anger" comes in. They have stuck you with a religion that is full of spurious rules. They have wasted your time and gas promoting themselves. They spoiled many a holiday. They want you to give up your weekends and fun, so they can have you out in field circus. If you take an exceptional time off for something special, you should have sacrificed it for yet another round of field circus. They have tricked you into donating to the Worldwide Pedophile Defense Fund. They have set you up to be supporting pedophilia without actually doing it. And, if you have or had children in the religion, they stopped you from enjoying them and made them zombies for most of their existence. And right you should be pxxxed at them for that.
You also have the right to be indignant for the way they swindled people into hardship. Double standards are wrong. They could have made a variance for Malawi like they did in Mexico, sparing people all the problems. They could have used rational discussions instead of bickering in Governing Body meetings, with the results of having a better religion. But they went on, hardheadedly protecting their own egos (Raymond Franz was the only one that tried to clean up the act). And people suffered needlessly for it.
And, those who have been abused as children provoke righteous indignation. The pedophile incidents are bad enough for the victims. But now the whole rank and file are going to be associated with supporting it, since the public has seen the report. The beatings at the Kingdumb Hells, forcing children to sit still for 2 hours at a time instead of playing, hours on end of field circus, houndings to get them baptized by age 6, and not having the chance to develop normally all amount to abuse. Single people are kept single however they have to do it (by stirring up rejection, meddling and busting up relationships as they happen, or misapplying rules about not marrying people too soon after baptism all serve the same purpose.
Yes, be provoked. The idiots running the show are responsible for a lot of misery, and they want to spread it worldwide. But realize that they will not go unpunished. When they die, all they will have to show for it is a bunch of ruined lives and no value creation whatsoever. They will have that weighing on whatever conscience is left. Then, there is the option of going to hell, dying permanently, or coming back as a being that is going to be accursed in everything it attempts to do. And I wish those running the Governing Body like a circus the worst. If they do come back as an accursed being, I hope that, not only they have the worst luck in everything, but that they are reminded why. And I hope others that are thinking of starting a cult will also get the warning so they will not ruin so many innocent lives.
