  Think about it...we are special

  when we were an active jw, we thought we were special, right?

  we felt we had the holy spirit, truth, and the priviledge of preaching.

  we drew a lot of attention from others because we were...different (special, unique, whatever).

  Nice Post...Yes we are special...Because we now realise we are know more special than anybody else.

  Its great no longer being so assured about ones self....so self rightiouse...In the organisation we were so sure of our rightioseness. That nobody would make us break one of those stupid Society rules...And most of those stupid Society rules I still dont want to break...I now only try to see the good in folks...Theres so much!!

  The World Is A Sad Place !!

  by Paradise Found in

  2. friends

  i think many become witnesses because they are lonely and friendless cast off from the world the same-way the borg casts off its members.. the lonly person is not so interested in "bible truths" but is feeling good about themself because they have a best-friend( there study conductor.

  ) they have new friends visiting them every week telling them "how special they are" .

  they are given preferential treatment even chauffer driven to the meetings where they are loved bombed.

  They are given preferential treatment even Chauffer driven to the meetings where they are loved bombed. They begin after (Encouragement) to answer up at the Watchtower Study.....

  All this is so much better than the miserble sad lonly life they were living... For the first time they are happy. This is the happiest time of there life only they now realise how miserble they were before...they become afraid that they may have to return to the lonly existence they came from. To keep the approval of best-friend (Study conductor )they clean there appearance to conform...next they quit smoking...eventually they qualify as an unbaptised publisher.

  There is now a purpose in life and even when the love bombing slows and best friend (Study Conductor) has a new study and is not seen so oftern...It is still better than returning to a world that doesnt care and the lonliness that was unbearable.

  As my success in the ministry was based on being (Study Conductor) best friend ... the moral to this story for me is all my frinds now are because I like them as people for who they are as individuals not because of any other reason.

  Thats not to say I didnt regard those I met on the ministry as friends...Only if I was a real friend I would of accepted those people for who they were...How they dressed ...That they smoked the complete package...Great God the Watchtower made me such an arrogent fool.

  it's a fact that many jehovah's witnesses know the truth about what's going on in the organisation and about its past history, with all its lies, its broken promises and its lying in bed with the united nations.

  these jehovah's witnesses consider themselves good christians knowing these facts and yet they still go along with it and help promulgate lie after lie after lie after lie.

  thousands upon thousands of sincere hearts have been broken and are still set to be broken because of their holding on to false hopes.. it's a fact that this forum is visited by jehovah's witnesses still loyal to watchtower and in spite of the countless truths exposing watchtower here these same jehovah's witnesses remain loyal to it.

  Great Topic

  And here we have two of my favouite posters "Mouthy" and "Blondie" seeing things differently.

  And on this one I think you are both right....Because you both follow your heart and nothing else...And that is what Christianality is all about...Being the individual God made us to be..Likeing a good argument but having the stuff to back it up.

  .And most of the time there isnt a right or wrong...Its where we are as Individual.And at this moment in time.we are not part of the Watchtower convere-belt.

  Yes....

  Well heres the story of the new convert now elder that introduced me to the truth..... When I met him he was a Idealistic and sincere in short a thoughly decent man

  . As a dedicated beliver I moved to sweden. Discoverd Thousands of things which I articulated to him by phone ....His reply was ....".Well all my friends are at the Kingdom Hall" He then became ex-directory with a different phone number and as a coincidence so have many I planned to ring.

  Sadest thing was seeing a basically decent man change.(I would never of become a witness if the sincere man I first met was the man he is now.)

  I hope with time....someday we a be able to sit down and laugh about it. I mean(For us both) its not nice discovering all your goals, hopes and asperations for the future can be broken so easily.

  I mean even my wife the most level headed person in the world...Attended all the MEETINGS but only did it FOR ME and was never a beliver gets very cross if I critizise the N:W:T. and this is a girl that doesnt read the bible.

  To illustrate I think the problem is if you were a Nazi reading Hitlers Mein Kamp you would feel very good about being a Nazi..And the same is true when you read a Watchtower Publication (Take Revelation its Grand Climax at Hand) ..as a witness you feel very good about yourself .The whole book is Praising Jehovers Witnesses The Organisation and as a Consequence You for being a part of it..... God is really out the picture.

  And when you become that indoctrinated It can make Good Men Bad.
