    Enjoying your comments, everyone!

    The truly strong spirts eventually grow tired of being told what to do by those in darkness and ake their way out.

    spirituality for JWs is purely an outward show

    my girli know when dating her long gone ex husband declared in a letter to me something along the lines of

    ''he's so spiritual...always answers up and has his watchtower marked''

    Aussie Oz-- We all knew that he who has the most colorfully marked Watchtower is nearest to God. I remember this one mouth breather whose

    IQ must have been somewhere near 75 used like four different highlighters and a pen to mark up his studies. It was such a joke, as the man could

    get lost in a child's placemat at a restaurant for hours, yet that rainbow of a study article made him feel and look like a WT scholar. Nice well

    meaning guy, to be fair, but a great example of the puddle depth spirituality WT encourages.

    Good one!

    The shallowness runs deep.

    "spirituality" was measured by:

    how many hours you did in service,

    how many publications you placed,

    the meetings you attended

    how often you answered up at meetings.

    following the Watchtower to the letter

    I couldn't agree more with you. The more I was "used for service" to the WTBTS, literature duties, attendant, mic/sound, landscaping... the less time I had to reflect on anything that related to my actual spirituality. To think I thought that actually "doing works" was actually getting me a spot saved in the New System of Thingsā„¢.

    What bullshit.

    They are "strong" only as long as their bubble does not burst.
