So-called “Apostates” are, IMO, actually persons who have been refined in the fires of criticism so that their true personalities shine through. Apostates are the best, most loyal friends in the whole World. They do not have to worry about whether something is right or wrong, they are free to act upon instinct, upon feeling, upon their innermost emotions.
Not for them the wearisome, tiresome, boring old “It’s either right or it’s wrong” mentality that cripples the acolytes of the WTBTS! Apostates are persons of great courage, real individuals who have been able to shake off the shackles of dub servility that robs its adherents of their very souls.
How well I recall the Watchtower magazine that stated that there was no place for “Colourful personalities” in the congregation! Even as a child witness, I knew that the very breath of life within me was being sucked away and being replaced with something far more sinister, something insidious that would replace the joy of life with a hollow sensation of inadequacy and guilt.
I think that an “Apostate” has more moral fibre in his little finger than a JW has in his entire body. Maybe being a JW is some sort of test that has to be gone through in order for a person to become a complete individual. That being the case, maybe it is in our interest for us to avoid contact with these so called “witnesses”.
Think about it, how many times did a JW make you feel good to be alive? When was the last time a JW made you feel as though you were someone really special, someone approved of, someone who was very loved?
Who really has the moral high ground, the witnesses or the ex's?
