The DO told us at the recent district assembly @ The Netherlands, that if you have doubts about JW doctrine, you have to remain a strong connection with Jehovah God, because "you are dedicated to Jehovah and NOT to an organisation".
Later on a very old brother was interviewed and he gave the counsel "Keep your doubts about doctrine in a refrigiator, just wait and see". The DO asked him "how many refrigiators do you have? The brother told him "I have 3 refrigiators full".
Wow...
Suppression is so healthy.
So do you think the old timer was an apostate? I mean really, who would actually admit to having 3 refrigerators full of doubt????????? I can't believe that they'd actually let that experience on stage because it is so ironic!!
But I guess the point of it all is, "Look at this old, beat-up, chewed-up, and spit-out old timer, if HE can do it, you all should just shut up, suck it up, and GET OVER IT."

But its interesting; not to sound harsh at all but it seems that if you do make a change, then people will normally have to think about it and how it applies in their lives. So I would think doubt would be normal.
Fine, when I realized I had a refrigerator full and couldn't even shut the door anymore, it was time to clean out the rot.
Only 3 fridges? My, this old geezer hasn't been paying attention!
When you put something in a refrigerator, it generally means you have an expectation of using it at a later time. Otherwise, you would probably burn it or throw it in the trash bin.
Another stupid analogy in the WT's long list of idiotic "illustrations"... this even tops the intravenus alcohol analogy they like to use to explain their flawed blood doctrine...
