In the movie "A Bronx Tale" the main character is chasing down a kid that
owes him 20 dollars. He cannot catch him. The gangster fella asks him
about the fella. The kid says he doesnt even like him. So the fella tells him
that he should be happy since it cost him only 20 bucks to be rid of the
punk forever.
Nasty JWs are kinda the same. Now frankly, there are lots of JWs that I
like. Many are cool, fun people. I know I was when I was a JW. Some
shun, some do not. Naturally we know most do, and most tow the party
line. Oh well. My job is not to save those who are suffering, those who
are not, nor those who are causing the suffering. Other than simply
making others and those that will listen aware of certain things that all of
us know, like the child abuse issue.
I liked dude's approach. I told them that I did not believe in Jehovah. They
then asked me if I believed the faithful and discreet slave was Jehovah's
sole representative in this time. I told them, well, I do not believe in
Jehovah, but I do believe that the faithful and discreet slave is Jehovah's
sole channel of communication. They then asked how could they be
his representative if he did not exist. I simply replied that because I do
not believe in Jehovah, does not mean he does not exist, does it? Are
you saying Jehovah needs my belief to exist?
I also would not let them disfellowship me. Since I am not a member,
even though I was a member at one time, nothing can be done to me
that requires membership. Just as they cannot disfellowship the
catholic down the road, so they cannot disfellowship me.
Plus I told them that I was an apostate. Then I told them that not
only did the watchtower misdefine the word, but so did the apostle
Paul. Apostate does not mean opposer. It simply means one who
leaves something, like a religion or a corporation. So since I have
left JWs clearly I am an apostate. But being an apostate does not
mean I oppose JWs.
