    The JW religion is sort of like Norman Bates' mother.

    She was supposed to be a proper caretaker, teacher, and role model--but--instead she was a corrupting influence.



    Even after 'Mother' is gone--it is so easy to keep her embalmed in our subconscious like Norman did in the fruit cellar.



    When pressures weigh heavily on us and we start losing it--well, something like the character and personality of 'Mother' may creep into our thinking. . . mightn't it?
    We really have to exert our individuality at all times and rise above.

    We are free. No, really we are---but, only if we can say goodbye to all that.



    So my fellow Apostates, take that shabby dress off, remove that silly wig, and put the cutlery back in the drawer. You don't want to have to mop up all that mess in the bathroom later---right?

    This corrupting influence has produced the same results - her children are driven to spy on the unsuspecting and end up doing them harm.

    And they see themselves as Neutral in time of War!

    Terrific.

    Now I'm picturing Norman's "Mother" with the (alternating) faces of the WTS's various founding fathers...
