Is the Watchtower all about GIVE and TAKE?

Fernando

Does the Watchtower GIVE or create community, and TAKE or STEAL faith and salvation?

It's all about taking. It takes faith, salvation, AND community and aggregates it all to itself. You may have all of the above, in exchange for your undying devotion to 'Jehovah's requirements'.

--sd-7

They take the "ife" right out of "life", leaving you with an "L" which represents, loss, loser, lost, low, left, lousy, and ludicrious. They think they're God because they believe they givith us life, but really all they do is taketh away. Being a JW can at times feel like, living and dying at the same time.

No other religion ask for so much and returns so little.

No other religion takes AND destroys as much...

Takes.

But appear as givers of course.

Its all about appearances with the watchtower society. Looking good on the outside but being rotten once you get into the inside, kinda like a bad fruit.

It certainly is about give and take. They give you a Watchtower, and you give them money.

Or, they will give you false hopes for a better life in the future. In return they will take your obedience, money and anything else they can now. It's how religion works.

Not a slave to any fictional character,

Yes, they are! You "give" and they "take!"

The only thing the WT knows how to "give" is rotten spiritual food. Anything outside of that is a one-off or a fluke... definitely never anything just for the sake of giving. There's ALWAYS strings attached. "The first one is always free"...
