I miss the old Paula Abdul who was the young Paula Abdul, and not the old Paula Abdul who thinks as of 2011 that MC Scat Kat was a real former boyfriend.

consider this my small weekend contribution to the cause of real truth.
any jw who has been one for a while, or a born in, knows the regard that pioneers, elders, bethelites and missionaries have.

Good points so far.
Sometimes, it is good to point out that when we talk about Jehovah's Witnesses, there are two groups. The leadership is the most culpable and responsible obviously. When I speak out against "Jehovahs Witnesses", I mean first and foremost the Governing Body and the Service Dept.
While I think that lately, most converts must have issues, by and far most JW's are sincere. They are taught and conditioned to do what they do. I dont' give them a free pass, but they don't make up this stuff, they just accept it way too easily and believe it.
I don't hold the leadership at Bethel (the Governing Body and the Service Dept) in nearly the same warm terms. They know what goes on, and regardless of how sincere they are, or whether or not they really believe their own crap, they act totally for their own self preservation.
I guess the only thing you can do when you are confronted with the facts is to ask yourself how long you can go in promoting things that aren't true? For some, it takes a while. It took me 6 years, but I finally clicked on the light bulb.

Any JW who has been one for a while, or a born in, knows the regard that pioneers, elders, Bethelites and missionaries have. Most know of the work and sacrifice one must be willing to make in order to reach these "spiritual goals." I was one of those who sacrificed.
I want you all to know something, esp you lurking JW's: Apostates are just like most every other person you meet. I am writing this because while you have been told that apostates are evil and have been taught and conditioned to be scared of those who leave, you shouldn't be worried. And at the end of this, I am going to bring up a formula that is a challenge to any practicing JW who reads this.
I write this because today, I was thinking of all the fear that I had as a JW. Fear keeps you from the truth. It doesn't lead you to it.
Remember, JW's prime work is to go door to door to " expose " tell others the flaws about their own faith. Yet, they cannot listen, nor read about real flaws and inconsistencies of their own religion. Have you ever wondered why, deep down, you can't look at anything former JW's have to say?
The reason is as you have wondered about, or feared: There is a lot that the leadership of JW's doesn't want you to know. A lot of hypocrisy, a lot of sinning by the leadership, and frankly, a lot of teachings and doctrines that don't make any sense.
Oh, and all the prophecies that didn't, haven't, and won't come true.
I am hoping my fellow posters here on JWN will post some of the doctrines and hypocrisies that run totally counter to any claim JW's could possibly make that they are the one true religion. Maybe you can start with the fact that the date JW's have counted from to 1914 is false. Have you ever wondered why JW's are the only ones who say Jerusalem was destroyed in 607 BCE, when EVERYONE else says 587/586 BCE? Yup, even your school books? Because without 607 BCE, there is no 1914. And without 1914, there is no Jehovah's Witnesses. The leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses have consistently lied about 607 BCE and 1914 for decades to keep their power "legitimate". Nothing could be further from the truth.
Don't be scared to read that. It is true. And there are other lies, many lies. I have nothing to gain by saying this, it's simply the truth.
The other part of the formula as I mentioned at the beginning, is you, and your willingness to do what you ask others to do when you knock on the doors: Be honest with yourself, and be willing to look at the evidence, no matter what it may show.
Are you willing to do that?
