  There is no such thing as over exposure for the TRUE BELIEVER.

  JW TV - One Further Step Towards Making the Organization Soft & Cuddly

  by steve2 in

  one of the more astonishing developments within the organization in recent years is the muting of the more "out there" behaviors of this once fiercely confrontational and proud end-times religious group.. members were unapologetically no part of the world and couldn't give a rat's ar*e what you thought of them.

  whereas the organisation fostered an outlook of warning the "wicked" world of the imminence of its destruction at the hands of the almighty - and spared no effort in doing so - nowadays the organization is sucking in its more "loose cannon" elements.

  in the place of these elements is a sparkling, smiling, airbrushed group of worshippers who parade their wholesome settled lifestyle to win converts.

  The whole damned enterprise has morphed in a "religion" of THE RELIGION. It has gone from worshipping Jehovah as God to self worship of JW.ORG and the GOVERNING BODY(tm). Jehovah's Witnesses have become the most narcissistic closed system on the planet.

  Many times I have felt like robbing a bank. I didn't because I stopped myself.

  Many times I have felt like killing my brother because he is an idiot. I didn't because I stopped myself.

  Many times I have felt like driving 100 miles per hour. I didn't because I stopped myself.

  Many times I have seen a beautiful woman and desired to have sex with her. I didn't because I stopped myself.

  Many times I have wanted to get dead drunk because life is hard. I don't because I stop myself.

  All humans at all times have urges that are socially and morally unacceptable. To take human behavior and 'medicalize' it is irresponsible and removes the responsibilty for behavior from a 'person' and assigns it to a 'disorder'.

  ( I do agree with the writer of the article that a person wanting help for his urges toward children should be able to get that help without being viewed as a criminal if he has not acted on those urges.)
