The JW new world system scum (page 3)

I don't know if I thought I would make it or not. I used to have a fantasy, though, that I would meet all my ancestors. I would get to shake the hand of every one. Oh well.

But with regard to how it would happen and the cleanup, I think most dubs were unrealistic about it all. First of all, if everything was destroyed, we would be scrounging around like people after an earthquake. We would be starving and miserable amidst the death and destruction!

And as far as cleaning up the earth, some had the view that god would use some kind of non-poisonous atomic (I know this sounds stupid) way of disintegrating bodies, etc. Whatever.

It was a nice mental exercise.

I always had doubts.

When I was twelve my parents said they did not think I would stay in 'the truth' because 'I asked too many questions.' Of course - I now know that to be sinful.

Even then I wondered how truth was something I could be in or out of.

Crazy days!

After learning the truth about how business is really conducted at the BS Society (my word for governing body), it really makes me ponder about the picture of paradise that JWs have. How is a so-called paradise of JW-run society in any way close to the Garden of Eden? Adam and Eve didn't have 'Princes' (word for elders in the new system) directing their every move and thought. They were supposed to follow God's law and enjoy their little paradise. Somehow I can't see the BS Society allowing the JW's to enjoy paradise, can you? It would be like one big DC spread all over the earth--yuck!!!

Was watching TV one night a long time ago. Jay Leno, doing his intro warmup .....The JW's were at my door again Saturday morning, talking about a paradise, talking about living forever......(Long pause)........BUT WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER WITH A BUNCH OF JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES?????????!!!!! The audience thought that was pretty funny too!

And Jay would be exactly right. That's the same thought I had when I made my break--"even if they've got the truth, I would rather be dead than live forever with them."

My version was a lot like Balsam's idea, but rather than the Amish I thought it would be more in line with the communes of the 60's (all "morally" sanitized of course)! It would be a lot less complicated than the present life of a JW, and that everyone would be truly loving, kind and helpful in every way and sharing with one another. What one didn't have--the other one would, etc.

I really did believe it. The concept of the harsh struggles and many constant disappointments being done away with is what made me study in the first place. Whatever bad things happened in my 30 years as a JW were only temporary and I was content deep down inside that it would "soon" be over. It kept me going.

This is why I found it so completely devastating when I finally had the scales removed from my eyes and realized it was all total nonsense.
