Did You Feel Superior To Those People Who Only Ever Came To The Memorial?
by Englishman inwe did.. we used to call them "memorial saints".
they were the fringe members, the fallen away, the disfellowshipped, those who had their own private pipeline to jehovah, bible studies, good-will, disinterested husbands, delinquent kids, prophets, lunatics and uncle tom cobley and all.. in short, all the weirdo's that could be mustered together on just one night of the year.
but it got the numbers up.

J, I see your point. I guess I'm trying to unlearn what I have been taught, meaning I'm doing research and comparing it to what the WT teaches and trying to see what has the "ring of truth" in it. It's just hard to explain, I've been taught and drilled since infancy they are to the ONLY true religion and the ONLY human mouthpiece for God and I'm learning they are most likely wrong. If their the only ones and they are wrong, that leaves no one. I guess that's my main struggle.

tijkmo, are you asking, what harm is it to be a member as long as your happy? Or are there more benefits staying in than by leaving?

mtbatoon, you are right to a point, the thing is being a witness seems to soley be based on works, how many hours a month you get, then just being a member.

Hmmmm, I would say no punishment as long as they don?t hurt others, let them believe what they want. But on the flip side they tend to prey on the weak and pull them in. Good question.

Thank you all, I'ts just hard for me. Even though I know they can't be right, it's the only life I've known. But I can't deny all I know now. I guess that's the ego they say that goes with apostasy.

Does anyone have the fear of, "What if they?re right?" I?ve had that nagging me then I have another voice, I?m not nuts-I?m not hearing voices-just a metaphor, tell me "they can?t be right." I just have this incredible inner conflict in me. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this feelings of guilt or what?
