We were told that we needed to accept whatever we were directed to by the Governing Body and elders. Eventually we rebelled and left the Organization.
Do you think former Jehovah’s Witnesses seem to question authority more than others? Do we tend to still enjoy being told what we should do in life or are we now really “independent “ as the Watchtower predicted??
No not for me! I'm more critical of what people tell me and want truth, not Bullshit. I will less likely follow what everyone else is doing if it does not pass the smell test.
I agree. I tend to question something as opposed to just accept something because everyone else is saying this is what is correct.
Thing I miss most about being a JW is always having the answer.
Better to be able to ask questions then have answers you can't question.
JW's are mindless sheep. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!
The JW cult can be summed up in one word: "OBEY."
Maybe in their past they easily accepted some things. But once they rejected their long-held WT beliefs (for whatever reason) they are more likely cynical about accepting anything at face value again.
It’s true we were cockily led to believe we had all the answers. We didn’t have to graduate from a university because we were so above all of that. Then it dawned on us, we know nothing.
i accept what people tell me--unless i know they are lying. I suppose its because i tell the truth--or not answer at all rather than lie.
unfortunately i have been caught out--rather badly: I met--and married a woman some 12 years ago; it all seemed too good to be true--which is exactly how it turned out. She had told me so many lies--it got to the point i just didnt know what was true and what wasnt. Some silly unimportant things---or other really serious issues.
i divorced her.
After being in the trooth and learning the truth about the "truth " you develop a bull shit meter and when a Jw or any other cult comes along that bullshit meter goes off. And you start to see bullshit in your life and call it.
