(... with a few slight edits of my own, from the movie "Fight Club")
"I see in this forum the strongest and smartest men who have ever lived. All this greatness, all this potential-- how is it squandered? An entire generation knocking on doors and underlining watchtowers; slaves with white collars.
The Governing Body has us preach and witness, fulfilling obligations we hate so we can buy back perfection we never had.
We are the middle children of history, with no purpose or place. We have no Great War. We have no Great Depression.
Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.
We have been raised by Jehovahs Witnesses to believe that we'll be saved and made perfect in a paradise Earth -- but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact."
My hat off to all of you here that have fought or are fighting the abuse of lies exacted upon us by those that refuse to walk without blinders or lack the courage to try.
As children of deception we may feel like defective products, but in time we have a unique potential to become producers of great change - birthed from a darkness that only we can go back to shine light upon.
Like Tyler says, our great war is a spiritual war and I'm glad to be on your side.
