Fantastic summary.
For the sake of any lurkers who haven't quite got the gist yet you might want to add;
In conclusion
The Watchtower Society and the Creed of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a hurtful, family-destroying, lying, evil, child-molesting, spiritually-pedophilic, satanic Cult. It is a SHAMEFUL NUISANCE, a CHEAT, a BLASPHEMOUS INSULT, a SHAM, a FILTHY LIE, a DECEITFUL TRICK, a SCANDAL, an ORGANIZED FRAUD, a DISGRACE, an ABOMINATION and a DAMNED OUTRAGE from start to finish.

Despite the few ex JW's here who claim all manner of qualifications in mental health and psychology gained since leaving the cult (having a degree seems to go to their head, if indeed they actually have the claimed qualification) my own experience of being raised a JW from a young child and observation of others, there is simply no contest.
Whether Bergman is a credible authority or not he could still be right. As the majority here have already observed and experienced he is spot on in this matter.

Evil lying Manipulators OR Captive Duped Slaves Duping Others (or some of both)?
by OnTheWayOut ini see many threads that address this issue, but i still don't have a clear thought on this.
so i want your help.. the governing body misleads the members- no doubt.
they do change some of their history to make the wt organization look smarter or better-guided by "jehovah.

We, formerly R & F members, as has been said before are treated like mushrooms i.e. kept in the dark and fed manure.
Whereas those at the top have a good reason to keep us in the dark. Maintaining their powerbase ABSOLUTLEY depends on it. I see no point in looking to Raymond Franz either for clues. I don’t see him admitting that they all knew it was a fraud as this would clearly reflect on him and the time that he spent as an integral and leading part of this great deception.
Raymond Franz, for all his subsequent good work at attempting to make amends for his part in this great deception, it seems is still reluctant to bear his share of the responsibility and hence as far as I know has NEVER apologised publicly for his gross error in perpetuating the Watchtower
LIE.
Another point, since the WTS shares are not publically traded then the current shareholders (those that attend the annual shareholder meeting) inherited their shares from family members long since dead. Is it likely that many of those that have inherited their shares are no longer JW’s themselves and so why would they take the trouble and expense to travel every year to the shareholders meeting if there was nothing in it for them?
Yes, Evil Lying Malevolent Manipulators. No doubt about it.

Yes, it opened my eyes. It was my turning point after 55 years in the lie. It's a bit late I know but it turned my life around and that of all my family.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU PANORAMA.
It triggered our lust and subsequent dash for freedom and we haven't looked back.

Unfortunately it clashes with our ministry school/service meeting so I coudn't possibly come. I don't even miss the meetings when I'm so ill I feel like I'm dying.
Oh! I forgot, silly me. I don't attend anymore. Far too much sales bullshit. Network Marketing can't hold a candle to this lot. With a workforce of circa 7 million unpaid sales people peddling utter trash.
Count me in.

All JW’s are sincere.
The
majority
are sincerely interested in pursuing their own selfish ends.
" What’s that , all my material needs supplied in abundance for ever, inherit the earth, live forever in luxury, pick of the best houses from the losers whom my God is gonna kill any day now and all for just attending a few meetings a week and filling out a field service report every month. Count me in."
These ones will get the reward they so richly deserve. a big fat
ZERO
.
For these the answer is definitely
NO.
For the small minority who are unselfishly sincerely endeavouring to do what they were told and thought was right to please God but have been lied to and deceived by the EVIL, unfaithful and indiscreet "faithful and discreet slave",
YES
and I continue to do my best to help free them.
