Forward You Witnesses as it was written in and smuggled
out of a Nazi concentration camp,
Great emotional attachment to me for that reason,
I understand it's not in the current song book
I'm going to check,

I think that what Dennett (above) is saying has an application to JWS but
not to the majority,
There are a lot of thinking people no doubt,
But what are they willing to give up in order to be free?
It took me many years to release from my long standing marriage,
A relationship with my adult children and grandchildren,
I chose freedom because I couldn't stand to surround myself anymore
with the wrong that ruled my entire life,
And remain silent anymore,
And if I spoke up my family would silence me,
Nice choice huh?
But I am at peace now for the first time,

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
