This is an interesting thread. I have my theories on why some people are so attracted to the witnesses. In our family it was my parents that studied in early 60s, they got baptized without any questions, my father never really fit in, he was too dominant and aggressive. My mother was c of e, disappointed because the vicar refused to christen me, I was adopted. Anyway my family were disfunctional and whatever we did would always be extreme. They all left the organization in the 70s....I was well and truly in by then as the witnesses had become my family, I was only 14, terrified of the big A and craving acceptance and approval.
I remember being told that Jehovah chooses those he wants to be his servants, I couldnt understand what went wrong in our family, he got it wrong I was sure. Yet when I met good people outside I kept thinking how come God wants my weird family and not them? I now realise that my parents limited education and need for absolutes as well as the run in with the vicar made them prime targets.
