What really frustrates me, is that so many Witnesses get caught up in huge worldwide events such as disasters, wars e.t.c that they fail to see that man isn't inheritantly bad, and that there are good individuals in this world who aren't part of the Watchtower Clique. I find myself feeling pity for the Witnesses, who wake up to a world on edge rather than a day that could potentially be their best. Many of them have ceased to try in their lives, unwilling to pursue education and even a family because they are waiting for their future which is forever just around the corner. It is the little things that enrich life, and for me paradise is not necessary. Yes thats right, i'm saying no to having a Panda, Lion and a Goat seeking shade beneath a palm tree in my back yard because i have a beautiful family that give me everything i need. My life is sufficiently meaningful and nothing will change that.
Also what i find rather frustrating is this belief that all ex-jehovah's witnesses are either in league with Satan and his demons, or just hate for the sake of hating. I don't hate the Watchtower or its followers. Instead it seems that Witnesses are almost rubbing their hands in anticipation, waiting for the Great day of Jehovah to blow us to pieces. Brilliant! Someones mother, someones son whoever is being dissolved by anti-matter before your very eyes, being consumed by birds and thats something to look forward to?
While we apparently are blind to the truth because we prefer to console our miserable selves within darkness, the Witnesses have open eyes to the truth. What is the truth? That the majority of you are apologists who refuse to debate in a fair manner because inside your scared of what you may find?
Nothing is black and white, even if it appears so. The same apply's to our beliefs. If you believe that we have a creator who made each and every part of our life interesting and intricate, why must our religious practices be mundane and cult like?
Open your eyes, it's really nice.
