65Just had a thought…
by Vidiot ini been reading quite a few experiences on reddit lately, and their seems to be a common theme coming up….
…dialed-up-to-eleven shunning of xjws by their witness relatives.. it reminds me of back in the day, listening to some of the over-the-top vitriol displayed by hard-core loyalists when the topic of evolution or apostates came up….
…i was gobsmacked when i finally realized these guys weren’t offended and indignant because they thought it was lies….

GrreatTeacher - “…The brothers have simply finally heard the sound of their consciences and are listening to them.”
Unsurprising, really.
Raise up a “generation” (sorry 😜) of folks on “The Truth”, some of ‘em will actually come to value actual, authentic truth.
Not to mention that all flawed ideologies need regular booster shots.

This bit jumped out at me:
“…He yelled at us throughout the entire meeting because we're not doing enough to stop the exodus…”

I remember one time when I was still in, listening the the anti-education rhetoric from the platform, and thinking to myself, “if they keep this up, they’re gonna end up with a ‘worldwide body’ of morons”…

I can distill it down even further.
The Org feels threatened by education because it helps young JWs realize that the WTS is, quite simply, wrong.

TonisOH - “…I think they say that to get people to stop talking about it. If they can convince you that they cannot be reasoned with, then perhaps you will stop and they will not have to deal with questions or arguments that they fear might 'stumble' them.”
Hard to argue with.
I’ve heard that sometimes the staunchest defenders secretly have the biggest doubts.

East Germany / the Old Soviet Union didn’t actually give a shit if you truly believed, as long as you paid lip service and did what you were told.
The WT is more like North Korea.
They wanna rewire your brain in the regime’s image.

jehovaxx - “…you have become inactive. This does not warrant shunning…”
On paper.
In practice, though?

Ron.W. - “My family have told me most violently and categorically that even if I proved conclusively and scripturally that they do not have 'the truth' they will still go on believing that it is 'the truth'...”
Which suggests to me that not only are they subconsciously afraid you’re right, but…
…(like I said on the last page), even deeper down, they’ve grasped that the Org’s continued survival is, indeed, at risk, and that the more people leave, the more tangible that risk becomes.
Hell, if the WT actually did crumble, they might even try and blame you, somehow. 😵💫☹️
