I am truly amazed how gullible all of you are.
You claim for yourselves that you have exposed "The Lie" but you're hailing the nonsense of a forum newbie (really?) as if it were the gospel truth.
Did it really never occur to you that the one who started this thread might have made up all or most of this himself? Probably not. Why not? Because he was tickling your ears?
I went to the same assembly as well. What did I see? I see hundreds of people being there out of love for their friends, for their neighbours and most of all for their God. These people don't need selfish motives to sacrifice their time and resources to attend a two day assembly, while everybody else just goes to the beach or the mall and "enjoy" themselves.
Now I am visiting this forum and what do I see? People motivated by hatred. People using foul language because they lack arguments for their viewpoint. People who say they have left the organization 20 years ago, but apparently still feel the need to justify that step. Tell me, who is here NOT out of selfish motives? Have you ever actually done anything that is pleasing to God afer you left the organization? Or have you just left for your OWN convenience?
Maybe I have had my doubts also, but I'm grateful for you all to give me a reality check. If I compare the way Jehovah's Witnesses deal with each other with what I find here, I can see that this world is only selfish, obscene and full of filth - exactly as prophesized in 2 Tim 3.
