dear Terry...
The WTBTS gives people what they want initally, whether it is "knowledge", a "family", or "protection". A continued loyalty to them provides that (aside from the inherent evil that is festering). The only "trick" is that a person has to keep paying whether in or out. That is the "nature" of buying into a lie.

O.K. if you say so. After all, you were there and I wasn't!
O please...I'm only going by what you've said. You have stated that you were pretty hyped about knowing "the truth" and that you enjoyed a sense of superiority in that "truth"...you got what you wanted from the WTBTS. With everything you've said it sounds like the "relationship" was symbiotic until it started to go downhill with the draft. And even then you felt you could become a "better" JW by studying. And then others weren't up to speed when you came out of prison caused what feelings in you?
I'm sorry, I don't remember...have you ever indicated that, back then, the knowledge you had gained of the WTBTS "truth" humbled you...

dear Terry...
I sincerely apologise.
I found these statements. " I prayed almost continuously from morning until night for Jehovah's will to be done in my life". " I bowed my head and prayed before every meal much to the embarrassment of others."

Terry, I think this thread of yours is making Jehovah sad.
Good work!
