I have a friend who is still in. This friend is a partaker, but has serious doubts about the ORG. This friend wants to stand up as a man, and wants to call WTBTS HQ.
Their aim, so I'm told, is to just speak frankly to a GB Member about EVERYTHING going on. They want no subject to be off limits. After all, they will be in heaven with the GB ( if the GB make it), so why not have an honest and respectful chat?
They plan on giving their full name, congregation, circuit, ect. The reason for this is that they feel there are too many groups being secretive, and criticizing the ORG from behind the shield of anonymity. My friend feels that this is counter-productive.
They reason that in order to even attempt to affect change at a grass roots level, they must be 100% open and honest. They have a reputation of being kind, loving, honest, and they have personal integrity. They wonder how anything will change, or how anyone would ever take them seriously, unless they come forward.
Right or wrong, I tend to agree. No JW will take anyone serious if they are not out in the open about their heavenly hope. The average R&F won't take anyone seriously unless they have "evidence" of being "anointed", whatever the F*** that means...
I understand it to a degree. If you truly believe something, then you show it by your actions. From a JW standpoint, your show your conviction by your "works." So....no "real" JW will put faith in anything said by a cowardly "closet" partaker. Capisce???
Anyhow, what do you think? BTW, I will be recording all of it., if it happens. If my friend is asked," Are your recording this?", they can say,"NO" because I will be recording it. I'm going to use theocratic warfare. LOL!!!
Seriously, your input is appreciated.
