That all the prophecies the WTS made came true.
That it was "the truth."
That everyone else was stupid and was going to die if they didn't become JWs.

1. That the most important thing of all was to "vindicate Jehovah's name," like he needed our help to do it.
2. All these stupid classes... what the hell was a Jonadab anyway?
3. That it was 'normal' to use up your vacation days to go to a sweltering hot stadium and sit there for hours on end in the heat listeing to 'spiritual food'
4. That I would never die

We believed that our hard earned vacations were to be used to go to conventions out of town.
Imagine having only 2 or 3 weeks vacations a year, and feeling as if you had to give it to the Watchtower. $%?&**
I hated that...

This is a good one:
I don't wish to have a girlfriend or to be married this side of Armageddon, I can use my singleness now to promote Kingdom interests. I can wait till the new order when I can then marry a perfect person!

That if I were a better Christian, my father would not be abusive. He would be "won without a word." The few times I tried to talk to an elder about the abuse at home, it was turned around and made my fault.
