  Top 10 reasons why JWs don't have the truth - please contribute

  i thought it would be an interesting exercise to ask everybody on here what their 'top 10 reasons why jws don't have the truth' actually were.

  maybe we can see some correlating views/patterns/ideas that may help us de-programme the newbies that come on this site.

  if eventually most people have an outstanding gripe/concern it'll help everybody understand the ex-jw mindset a little better.

  i used to wonder, how people in "the truth" could do and say hurtful things.

  how could certain people be appointed elders?

  they were just kiss-asses or yes men.

  Have you ever had " a moment of clarity"?

  these moments are something that not eveyone has experianced, but if you have they are with you every day.

  a true moment of clarity is not something you live once.

  you live it every time you think of it.

  if i'm not mistaken, there is no bible verse to support following the 'faithful and discreet' slave?.

  there is an implicit pact between the magician and the audience.. .

  an audience attending a magic act is in attendance for two main reasons.. 1.entertainment.

  2.the desire to match wits with a puzzle and its solution and the determined effort to be amazed when this fails.. yet, above all else, the audience does not really wish to discover the secret.
