When I was a JW I often thought... WHY was being in the "truth" so hard (to live it and do all the sh!t) and WHY didn't it feel good and WHY wasn't there any real good results (as far as recruits).

Just sayin

Because it's a cult.. or it's the 'narrow path'...

Organized religion is an addiction like any other. It starts out with a honeymoon phase, turns into a grind and then eventually the negative effects start manifesting in your life. Some people continue the addiction until they expire, some cut it short and live the rest of their life on the path to freedom and enlightenment.

Welcome to the forum btw.

There wasnt any honeymoon phase for me! Once again, I been robbed! That must have been just for the converts, not the born ins. What I used to wonder was, how come I was making all these sacrifices, doing so much suffering and god still wasnt answering my prayers or helping me in any way? It seemed like a lot of effort for no reward at all.

One of the things I pondered about was why one had to slave for the WT for so many years(perhaps 70+) to survive armageddon, and others could come in a day before Armageddon and recieve the same "salvation".

So much of it doesn't actually make sense until you see things from an outside persepctive. :)
