Billy the Ex-Bethelite
When you see all the other non-JWs survive disasters, get help from the government, their insurance, assistance from Red Cross, and then go on to rebuild their lives, how can JWs say that Holy Spirit helped them to cope? They have nothing different than others who believe they are helped by their gods. And they're no different than others that don't believe in any god, and yet get on with productive lives.
They've described the WT's Holy Spirit as nothing more than an imaginary friend. And certainly their "spiritual paradise" is just a fraudulent expression to describe the mental confines of their cult.

MSCONCERNED- You have a right to blow up regarding insane WT teachings. Don't feel guilt about it at all. The WT Society is really good at making Jehovah's Witnesses NOT experience mourning, sorrow, or other normal human emotions by their minimizing of death of our relatives putting too much emphasis on an imahined " resurrection of the dead ". Thus JW's are taught to ignore or abandon any feelings of emotional sorrow that in actuality they SHOULD be showing for lost loved ones. It's why you see mostly smiling, shiny Witnesses at memorials or funerals- it's like they are mentally off and their sympathetic, empathetic emotional brain functions have been stolen or turned off by WT indoctrination. It ' s truly pathetic. Be glad that this information upsets you, it shows you have a good heart and you are normal. It upsets most people who really have a conscience

holy spirit as an imaginary friend...brilliant.
and the "spiritual paradise" is "protective custody" to the faithful JW, safe within the mother like arms of JW organization.
Billy always had a way of explaing things so we could understand them...

I heard a story recently from a Sister. She is the wife of the Congregation Coordinator in Smalltown USA. She regailed the Congregation with a story of a friend who attended a District Convention ( this was for a WT study not long ago about how special conventions are and how the are a provision from the GB/God ) well, this persons Brother decided that he did not want to go, but instead went swimming and drowned. He would have lived had he just went to the DC...
I guess the cute little Barista that was murdered by Jonathan Holt would have lived if she would have been in service. Instead she was trying to store up treasures on the earth by working at Starbucks...

Funeral for an infant girl. Parents refused pleas by doctors
for blood for the child, we will never know if this would have
saved the child life. Jehovah you have taken our child for your
glory, we have sacrificed our child for your name sake, please
give us an extra portion of your Holy Spirit (what ever that mean,"extra portion"),
so we can carry on.
I gave that talk...
