"aww, But it's not MY fault, someone else is to blame!"

by stuckinarut2 in

i was just thinking about the account of adam and eve, and how they both attempted to 'pass the buck', or shift the blame to someone else.

eve to the snake, and adam to eve.... does that sound familiar??.

the society has never taken ownership of its mistakes!

This is one of the traits of a narcissist - they are never wrong. That's why people often don't readily identify the JW religion to be a cult because since the days of Russell and Rutherford there hasn't been any one charismatic leader to point to and say "he claims to be God's spokeperson, do not question him, he is never wrong, he never apologizes..." etc etc all the things you would expect to be said of the religious narcissist cult leader.

"The Society" does display all the traits of a narcissist and a cult leader in bucket loads they're just careful to do so collectively. I call it the "I am Sparticus" defense because there is no one person to identify as "Sparticus" they're all Sparticus and so in effect none of them are Sparticus.

Why I get out of bed every morning.

by compound complex in

jw
friends

because someone needs my help.. as a jw -- you can relate -- i truly believed that what everyone really needed was the kingdom hope and its eventual reality.

you know, the hope that does not lead to disappointment.

of course, if anyone needed practical help with a task or getting through some difficulty, most of us realized that was part of being a helpful and caring friend (or family member).. at nearly seventy years of age -- no, i didn't enter the promised kingdom in my healthful and vibrant youth -- my getting out of bed isn't so bad.

Wonderful news CoCo.

All WT crap aside, a few simple words of encouragement, support and appreciation can be all that's needed to regain some sense of purpose, balance and worth. You do this everyday CoCO I'm sure of it, so thank you sir.

Appreciation; it costs nothing folks but it can pull someone back from the brink.
