Quirky, you are humble---a very rare quality in a JW. Look at Undercover.
Jehovah's Witnesses NEED To Feel Special About Themselves

According to Transactional Analysis it is a case of
They are not OKAY we are okay, and you are OKAY but only if you agree with us.
Once a recruit (gofor) has been sucked in, his self esteem is systematically eroded until he only feels okay if he is jumping through the prescribed hoops.
Notice that the Dubs most often make themselves feel special by pointing out how unclean selfish wicked and evil everybody else is.
Because of course when you look at the rags (esp. the KOOL-AID Edition) all they do is make them feel bad about themselves for not being good enough for Jehoobie.

You are a fool.
Just being chosen is not enough.
If I were a Belgian Chocolate chosen to be chewed up, then vomited by a bulimic I sure would NOT feel special.
Maybe being chewed up and crapped out by the Witchtower babble and Trash Society is different??

A lot of people do this. A classic example would be people who are obsessed with conspiracy theories.
They need to feel important so they make up conspiracies that "only a few know the truth about".

And the conspiracy theorists laugh at you for not being willing to accept all their "evidence".

Wait a minute...
What does that say about "us" (apostates or whatever) because we "know" all about the Society's falsehoods...no one outside of our group knows or understands...and we laugh at JWs because that can't accept our "evidence"?

How did Bro. Minimus do on his gestures? or is that the next point on his counsel slip?

There is one other way for the Witnesses to feel special. They feel great about themselves if they can become real good friends with ones who have many material possessions. They seek out ones who have $$$$$$$$$$$$. I guess it fills the loser void in thier lives. I have seen it so many times.
