I have been thinking of a simple one liner to use when challenged as to why I dont seem to be an "active / good" witness...
"I no longer wish to be considered as 'Bloodguilty' thanks" and leave it at that.
If said in a dignified, (not in a smart arse way), then I think this may make people see that my desicion is a sound one based on logic and not emotion....
Thoughts?
Hmmm. It depends on what you want to convey.
I like this......."my conscience will no longer allow me to directly support the governing bodys current teachings".
Its strong, a bit insulting, but clear, and won't get you in a JC.
Hey problemaddict....
You dont think thet will get you in a Judicial committee meeting?????
Wow...I would be in there in 2 seconds under a charge of "brazen conduct" if I said that here.
and won't get you in a JC.
What are you smoking?
That line will get you executed in a flash.
Doc
you say any one of those statements you want have to worry about any standing with being a witness
Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I no longer wish to be considered as 'Bloodguilty' thanks"
Will not be understood by any JW. Bloodguilty is not in the same realm with being a good JW. A statement like that could never stand on its own. They would look at you like you have two heads.
But the expression "bloodguilty" is a classic JW expression?!
It conveys the thought that our actions or lack of results in harm to someone's life...therefore, me saying I dont want to be "bloodguilty" means that I am causing harm to peoples lives in the community if I dont make a stand AGAINST the witnesses....
Oh, no doubt it's their favorite expression when cracking the whip to make the sheeples do more, more, MORE! But they would never understand it in terms of applying it to BEING a good/active JW. In their minds it only works the other way around. In their minds, being a good/active JW is the only way to avoid bloodguilt.
The way you're using it does not compute... in a JW mind.
There is no perfect retort.
It will either be met with contempt or contempt.
The JWs will not sympathise with you if you seem to be digagreeing with their leaders. That's how cults work.
Best either leave it alone or DA yourself.
