The Question a JW will ask at the doors is often
"Have you ever wondered why the world is in such turmoil?"
Of course their "answer" is that a snake told a naked lady to eat some fruit 6 000 years ago, and as a result God views us all as unworthy of life. He has it in for ME personally for smething an ancestor I never met had done.
If you met a potential spouse, who threatened to kill you unless you pandered to his every whim, told him he is wonderful, and obliterated your own reality to justify his - would you LOVE that person, let alone Marry? Wouldnt that be entering into a grossly abusive relationship?
Do you think that is why fundie cults are so abusive of their members?
The Witchtower religion refuses to respect its members dignity, privacy, or intellectual honesty.
They INSIST on knowing if you play with yourself (not allowed AT ALL) what you do in the bedroom with your loved one. Whether you doubt them. And the consequences are DIRE?
I remember months ago being at a token meeting.
They launched into internet porn, "self-abuse" and other things. They dont bother consulting parents of young kids if they want their children to hear this stuff.
They didnt ask me if I wanted to sit and hear this excruciatingly embarrassing stuff with a ten year old sitting beside me.
They didnt ask if I wanted something to comfort me, rather than make me feel bad about myself.
Do you think I am being too extreme calling this "MIND RAPE"?
