Were you an elitist?

How many of you felt superior as JW's because you had an elite level of knowledge that only the Society could give you?

*raises hand and flushes from acute embarassment*

Yup, I felt pretty dang special. *I* had somehow had some magic quality that enabled me to recognize God's really true, tested and approved organization while others stumbled through their lives in darkness. Go me!

What a dope I was.

It never affected me because I could see from early on that the jws weren't a genuine loving christian society. There were cliques that were impenetrable social life was impossible, and I lost all respect for them, if I couldn't socialise in their environment to me they were worth nothing.

I was considered elite, actually "one of a kind". The kind the always got those "special invitations" to meet with the cream of society in the back room at the KH!==

You betcha, worldy godless people gonna die, Jw's gonna live.

One day I woke up and realized I'd been living a loony-toon life. Things haven't been the same since.

Not so much when I was a youngster but anytime somebody would start going on about their "christian faith" I'd mentally roll my eyes thinking I was a member of the "toughest" outfit there was (even after I left!).

Definitely. All my Witness friends are also elitist. Very very very much so.

I was always an underdog, ‘cause I just couldn't shut up, if I could I’d probably already be a CO. Stuff CO better say GB member. But I couldn’t keep my eyes closed, my ears plugged and my mouth shut at the same time. Heck, I’m just a human and not Hindu god
