    I recall while I was just a new JW how horrified I was at the "brother" who was bringing me along.... when he told me that he was so sure about the Governing Body being Jehovah's mouth piece, that if one day they announced--this is it, this is the end, kill any and all NON-JWs in your path....he would do it.

    ...and do not show mercy to old man, virgin or child.

    We were all infected with Jehovah's fascist ranting. The only difference between the WTS & Al Qaida is the WTS is just praying for it to happen, wheras Osama is actually doing it. Different ends of the same wedge.

    ...evidently the followers of Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple felt the same way....killing themselves in mass suicides from kool aide laced with cyanide...

    He would be willing to kill non-JWs, yet the dubs insist that they are not followers of men.

    Yeah, right!

    Zen,

    that if one day they announced--this is it, this is the end, kill any and all NON-JWs in your path....he would do it.

    But, but, but,... It would mean that they are a cult! Gasp!

    Next thing you'll know is that they would let their members and children die from lack of blood, vaccines, and coldly justify suicides.

    You surely are a lying apostate!

    Wow Zen! I've overheard some zealous ones talking but this is an example of the extreme. So glad I've finally cut loose their mindset/fanaticsm. Unfortunately, some of us hold onto that kind of 'righteousness' when it comes to American politics, which worries me at times.

    Oh, no, this isn't a cult!

    LOL@Faraon

    Mr Ben, I have felt the same thing. Very little difference in mentality.

    This is their GREATEST CONCEIT and the most seductive one at that!

    The GB's/Organization's humanity was never lost to me, even at my 'most zealous,' so I did not follow them completely in my heart or my mind. The Theocratic (war) strategy taught at an 80's assembly really opened my eyes. My wife (now x) drank in every word (which really worried me)...Lying was now approved by the GB!

    I never thought people would kill for the GB, very shocking. Personally, I would never leave my personal sense of morals. Harming other people just would not have happened.
