I have been away from the organization for about 3yrs now.
What did it for me was that verse in Psalms/proverbs, where it says: Do not put your trust in Nobles or the son of earthling man.
The watchtower officials are like Nobles. They expect trust from you, with their multitude of rules for Christian living. Something they say is down to your conscience; yet punish you for exercising your conscience.They infact want you to exercise their conscience.
Yes, I have doubts about these people!
In my previous post, I was testing the waters to see if, after leaving the Watchtower you had gained some tolerance for others, because this is sadly lacking within the Organization.
Much of the response was hysterical and childish. Many of you decided to gang up on this intrusive fellow and give him a peace of your mind. There also seems to be a sort of "click", a group of people here that are held up as important, and when they choose to speak others within the "Click" take notice and proceeded to speak up themselves. At Kingdom hall meetings, it was exactly the same!
Again, this caused so much harm in my congregation; the quieter ones were left out of the equation.
It seems that this board is no different, it is: think as we think or up yours! survival of the fittest! the sort of thing I hated about my congregation.
I am not the sort of person that is easily shaken so your attacks do me no harm.
Goodbye
