Hey terafera...i didn't realise my rocking back and forth distracted you dear LOL.
Beck, girl you crack me up!LOL
That's exactly what we were taught to believe...the humbleYou hit the nail on the head..exactly!
mildly retarted soul who rocks back n forth and rubs her hand together has a better chance then the haughty ones who adorn themselves with riches. Bullocks! There is no category for those who choose to think for themselves!
Your observations are right on. And even though you may hold persons of that sort in contempt, imagining yourself to be of greater worth, somehow, in Jehovah's eyes the lowly and downtrodden are precious. In fact, it is Jehovah's own stated purpose and judicial decision to save the poor ones of the world and give them the earth. It is a beautiful thing, really, for Jehovah to wrest control of the earth away from the high and mighty ones and give it to those who in the present system amount to little more than peasants. / You Know

Boy my son I just love your comments, but sweetie you are not using the dictionary are you? In reality rich is a real good kid considering our personal life was messed up and dysfuncional. He is right though ppl need to believe and have faith and Dj and I didn't. A lot of valid points have been made in this thread and the sad thing is it is a mirror of what many of us have been through or have seen when it came to ourselves and other witnesses. My feelings and observation over the years has lead me to believe that if you are not too bright an individual your willing to be a sponge. All the attention that stronger so-called mature Christians meet out to weaker ones is what keeps them needy. The organization never taught people in the org. to deal one on one with a person, they just wanted you to believe in God and the hope of everlasting life and everything would be honky dory in your life. By the time books were published about family life it was too late for many a family to repair itself especially from a mould that was set by the WTS. They tell you preach be at all the meetings even if your dying and in pain, becasuse that is all that matters, and apparently all your problems in life will disappear. How was a person to rise above their problems if they didn't recieve the nurturing promised by the organization and were left to fend for themselves. I know i often sought out the assistance of the elders to deal with difficulties in my marriage, but they don't want to hear that, they say trust in the organization and God and do all that you are suppose to do and everything will work out. What bunk, I have seen over the years that persons with money and prestige are given a higher priiorty, they get invited everywhere with others of their so called class distinction and they never invite the needy or the poor both in a spiritual sense or in a physical sense. I believe that many a witness is synical and phsycotic. They don't know the word balance because true balance doesn't exist in the org. How many witnesses do you know and exjws for that matter who are taking drugs and treatments to deal with the burdens impossed upon them by the org. Many my friends Many!!Your mother was very observant. But was she truly happy?
I truly believe the posts that have been written here, there is alot of very good points made by everyone. I would like to add a point, I really believe any organization that brings divisions amongst family and friends is truly the wrong one. How many have lost loved ones and many,many good friends through these divisions. If you get df or leave on your own accord, then many people shun you, turn their backs on you. Someone said once, blood is thicker than water, well if this statement is true, then where is the proof. I thought in my heart of hearts that nothing ever should every seperate, or be the cause to seperate families. The truth has taught me that all it does is cause deeper pain within a person. So many of us have lost out on, and miss the love they once had from our families, son, daughters, husband, wives etc. This is truly a sad sad thing. WHERE HAS TRUE LOVE GONE? I mean to this day, I still feel the lose, some days stronger than others. When you grow up with a brother or sister as an example, then you leave the org. or are put out, you still have the memories from childhood, and nothing I believe can erase such memories. Now you have nothing but memories, this is sometimes to overwhelming for me because all I ever want is the normal life, the family life I was forced to leave behind. Yes you can surely go on and make new friends and start fresh so to speak, but what's left behind is still in your head and heart. I cry for the lose of a sister, but feel she probably doesn.t give to hoots about how my life is, because if she did, she would truly be apart of my life now.
While Jesus offered hope and solace to those who were downtrodden, as YouKnow suggests, the WTBTS takes those same ones and manipulates them for their own purposes, while holding out the "carrot" of some future gain.
They are made into slaves who are constantly pushed to do more, more, more in selling the literature and building up the numbers.
How many JWs actually find solace and comfort with the walls of the BOrg? Very few. Most are on a treadmill of guilt and and fear, worrying that if their works are not sufficient, they'll lose everything. Worrying that God hates them because they are so "evil" and can't live up to everything the WTBTS concocts.
Those who are intelligent are, by no means necessarily "high and mighty", but they are less likely to be duped by those who intend to rape their souls by promising something they can't deliver.
An elder friend of ours called them "lowlifes". It got him in trouble, big time, with the other elders, when one of the lowlifes heard it. She didn't appreciate the comparison, no matter how accurate.
I loved this post. It sure is true!!!
