Do you think it?s healthy to be bound together in hatred?
Hatred is something that is very hard for me to find in my heart. I do not hate the Jehovah's Witnesses. Sometimes I feel pity, but I still have alot of respect for a great many of them, and some I dont respect.
Do you think it?s healthy to perpetuate yourselves as victims?
You're right, being a perpetual victim is not healthy. I have a sister who at 36 continues to dwell uppon being victimized at 10 and uses it as an excuse. There comes a time for healing, people heal at different speeds. And I for one do not perpetuate myself as a victim whatsoever2
Which of you was unable to leave the JW?s due to a gun being held to your head?
Everyone's situation is a little different. Sure there is a mask of free will, but the consequences are too much for some people. Some people loose all relationship swith Mothers and Fathers, children, spouses and siblings. The guilt and risk of shunning for some is a figurative loaded gun.
It seems that you try to villianize the JW?s for your disfellowshipping and the subsequence shunning that comes from former JW friends and your JW family members.
I have not been disfellowshipped and left of my own accord. I villianize the JW organization for misleading their people, and having such control that they cause such sadness in many people's lives. I villianize their hypocrasy in keeping things such as child abuse and a relationship with the UN a secret from their members.
BTW I certainly dont claim to be Jesus or Jehovah or Annointed (though we do have some on this board who once did claim to be annointed)or on my way to heaven. I'm just a lowly human being, who was taught a false religion for most of my life.
I just want to take the time to re-state the fact that this is not an attack on this community, or any individual in it.
So what is the point of your post then?
My writing style has often been perceived as hostile when that wasn?t the intention.
Now why do you think that is?
