JUDI8751- You asked, " Is there a syndrome for this ? " Yeah, it's called dangerous " cult mind control".

The WT society has these witnesses under a spell keeping them there through intimidation tactics of fear and guilt to make them stay tricked by the society's false promises. It's really that simple. But the typical JW - unfortunately your JW husband included - don't know what's being done to them in a manipulative way. It's really sad. I hope your husband can break free of this slavery someday

Nah, it's not cult mind control. It's called "too tired and/or stupid to think for oneself".

It's not just the JWs: Lots of idiotic religious groups whip themselves into a frenzy about the nearness of the end that never arrives.

Hell, I swear there's a part of the brain that is just hankering for divine rescue and really wants to believe God will step in and save the world - oh, but only after the believers have had a good time doing what they want to do...heh heh.

I think the End was in 1975.

I stopped reg. pioneering in '76 -- I felt more than a little used and disappointed. I knew "I" didn't "...move ahead of the org ..." I knew 1975 was where The Organization pointed us. But, my cult fever still held on until I watched my JW mom slowly die (no transfusion) 25 years later. My fever finally broke and I left...

My sweet never-been-a-dub wife says, "Whenever you say, The Organization, it's weird, but, it makes me think about The Mafia...?"

I say, Weeeellll...ya' know...

agonus

The Mafia, eh?

How about "The Party?" ;)

Orweeelll... ya' know...

Yeah, like the CIA being called, "The Company". The Party, The Organization, The Chairman, etc. there is an implied mystery, darkness and un-spoken hint of secrets and power.

And...it works.
