"Just have faith in Jehovah..."

by evilApostate in

i recently spoke to an old friend of mine who is still under the clutches of the watchtower.

a while back, i had told him about all the child sex abuse coverups, false prophecies, false doctrines etc.

he was really shocked and surprised.

Anyone who tries to lift the veil is evil and of the Great Apostate,

This is brainwashing at its best,

Who would make up this stuff,

Almost daily mental conditioning

No information let it that might counter the effect

Am being overly dramatic?

I can't say ONE SENTENCE to my daughter on the subject of religion!

Atomant: it sounds very much like JWs have their very own Pascal's

Wager going on!

I say face your (not you) fears

Get your life back!

Or perhaps a safer approach would be to invest a little time,

and prove to yourself that they're full of crap,

Of course,

As outside research carries a death sentence

There's a bit of a catch 22 there as well,

I tend to think that sanity is an invaluable asset though

Lol

I have to say that it was worse for me as it was my family,

I knew that JW was terribly wrong for many years,

But, as I'm older, I felt that the best thing to do was shut up and stick

It out until I dIed,

But I just couldn't do it it anymore,

So I stopped,

Had to move to get away from them too,

But I had come up with all sorts of reasoning that maybe one of of them

could understand my thinking, my rationale for leaving,

One I remember is showing how they took out the brackets in the new

"Silver Sword Bible" in order to add to Scripture without anyone knowing,

They train themselves to thought block potential "doubts" as such

thoughts are from "evil" temptation from the Devil,

The brain washing begins with the ORG and what's left they finish

themselves,

That's how I see it anyway,

I sincerely wish you more success than I've had,

Cheers,

I think that this is a no win situation

But I think that insight as to what is going on could be helpful

His responses as you've described were not spontaneous

They were rehearsed

JWS constantly prepare for every encounter

He probably approached an elder

And they worked on those responses together,

I would just leave them alone

It sounds like you gave it your all the first time

But they suffer from bullet proof brain syndrome

Everything bounces off
