As I turn things over in my mind, one JW lie stands out.
That God doesn't listen to all prayers. Unless I have it wrong, and I don't think I do, JW's believe, and have been endlessly, ruthlessly taught, that only those living by "Jehovah's righteous standards"...that awful glib phrase again...will get their prayers listened to. In other words, God looks at the number the person is calling from, so to speak, checks who it is, looks him up in his book of misdeeds, and angrily slams the phone down.
The Jehovah God of the WT is petty and mean-minded. It's the elephant in the living room, but nobody ever dares to point out that if we are all imperfect, as we are told we are by the WT, then how can anyone live up to these...yuk...righteous standards?
It's to my mind one of the most pernicious of their horrible lies because it completely misrepresents the loving God of the New Testament. Of course, if the whole thing has sent you away from any religious belief that would be understandable, but it would still be interesting to know what people think is the worst in their arsenal of control.
Yes, of course, I know how very awful some of the actively restrictive measures are on individuals, like the shunning, the dominance and superiority of males (even thick ones) etc etc etc. This is just what comes to me today.
