Sabby, do you REALLY think I am a WTS agent?
I think you are part of a Watchtower program that involves atheism. Essentially, you are still mind controlled without your awareness. The same is true for me as well, but our personalities are determining how the mind control is continuing to manifest after prolonged direct application. Both of us are attempting to retain individuality after an assult on our minds. What the Watchtower did to our minds was extensive and neuroscience continues to prove that (there should be compensation for all members). There's just not a whole lot of specific data in regards to Watchtower subjects. The real Watchtower agents are MUCH more subtle and sly than you.
Your contributions are appreciated and important, but I do wish you weren't so often negative.
Thanks Ray for the constructive feedback. Honestly, I try my best not to be negative, but the Watchtower makes our lives so miserable if we speak out about their abuse. It's a lot like how bullies work on the school yard. My family doesn't hafve a problem with me being an ex member, just that I am an outspoken one. They want me to be a "good ex member" and shut up about my abuse. They create a stereotype for their own ex members and then they use it to try to control you even on the outside. "See so and so, they just left without a word. They are better than you." Whenever I bring it up any past abuse I am told to stop being so negative. Well, abuse is negative so how does one get around that resistence? Frankly, the only way is through it. You showed an example of that with your bravery in your apostate judicial committee. I cannot believe all the negative stuff that has happened to you.
Steven Hassan says that we were not stupid to act in the way that we did. Can you blame a fish for being duped by a lure specifically designed to catch it? The people who mistreat us have no idea what they are doing because they are being mind controlled by agents of unthinkable evil. The vast majority of them would never act so badly, so what is happening? It's because they are traumatized and are malfunctioning because of it. They have been living their whole life swallowing a lie and they are desperately trying to get that payoff they always dream about. The Watchtower has work camps disguised as religious institutions. Slave masters masqurading as religious gurus and slaves believing they are saving the world one door at a time.
