"Recovery" Could Benefit By Following My JW Grandfather's Advice

    Recovery's double standard approach reeks of selective JW-influence. Sadly, it also reflects the Watchtovian approach which is equal parts arrogance and ignorance. If I were a JW, people like Recovery would be an embarrassment, neither in nor out, but trumpeting loudly their claimed repentance. Seldom has the word "hypocrite" been so apt.

    Pro-JWs often come on to sites such as this and virtually demand to be heard and answered. When the answers don't suit their narrow pre-judged frames of reference, they depart form pure argumentation to sweeping personal judgements about "what" ex-JWs are like. Bring it on, I say.

    If the situation were reversed and we went on pro-JW websites and acted this way, we'd be deleted in a heart beat. Recovery is no more recovered that a dog returning to its vomit. If he were recovered in the sense of seeing the error of his ways and had returned to the fold, he'd have neither need nor desire to thumb his theocratic nose at us. The fact that he seems driven to dump his ongoing venom onto this site shows he's as torn and tormented as ever. He makes JWs seem charitable by contrast.

    It takes a special kind of person to believe the WT "ever changing" dogmas as coming from God's only true Earthly organization-

    Here, I found the perfect avatar for you, Recovery.

    Just as it was not my JW grandfather's job to attempt to answer the questions of people who were determined to prove him wrong

    Actually, he was knocking on their door to tell them THEY were wrong and he was right, so yeah, it was is self-assigned job.

    I didn't get hardly any scriptural arguments. All I got was "this isn't a true doctrine...because *(insert better private interpretation of what it means)*.

    Protip: The GB is privately interpreting scripture, too. Everyone who says "this is what the bible means" is doing that. You are just rejecting theirs as they are rejecting yours.

    Recovery says ....

    I recently did a lot of my own research and found that these articles were nothing more than clever lies and half truths designed to deceive the

    minds of unwary JW's.

    If you did find something that was so, please present the topic so it can be scrutinized and pulled apart so the real truth can be concluded.

    Maybe it was the WTS who designed clever lies and half truths to draw attention to their published works from the public and you like so many others

    fell for them out of blind naivety and trust ?

    Recovery has engaged in the easy part: making sweeping statements about articles he has read. The hard part - which he himself persistently fails to do - is point out specific statements in these articles that he asserts are "clever lies and half truths".

    That said, given that he has formed these firm conclusions, why does he persist in making his point? If he is so convinced the JWs do have the truth, he ought to follow his beliefs and go back.

    The fact that he continues poking a controversial nose into sites such as this one kind of shows he ain't as fully convinced about the Watchtower Society as he asserts.

    As I said earlier, the old-fashioned word hypocrite fits him well.

    Hee hee!!

    Maybe someone should start a thread about the various "hypocrites" who visit this site against the Watchtower Society's cautions/warnings, only to eventually become aware of the inconsistencies of the very organization they strive so mightily to defend...
