An old Greek proverb
"Those whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad"
I've offered this stark prediction before
and I emphasize it again.
Jehovah's Witnesses will go insane.
No, not every Witness, everywhere - but you will read
more and more accounts of Witnesses and ex-Witnesses
committing murder, suicide, terroristic threats,
or other manifestations of mental illness.
Why? because they have attracted a large number of
mentally and emotionally ill people - and ,more importantly,
their teachings encourage depression, alienation,
and a child-like inability to cope with life's
problems. The world is changing rapidly and the fact
that "life is passing them by" will not go unnoticed.
Their subculture of unearned superiority and self
righteousness will slowly wilt in the face of the Watchtower's
exposure - and the world's appreciation of compassion.
They will continue to push Witnesses to put their lives
- and problems - on hold in expectation of an Armaggedon
that is always "soon". They will continue to preach
an extreme and condemnatory view of people, that creates
alienation. They will continue to preach conditional
love while breaking up families and friendships.
In short, the pressure will increase on a system that
is already in trouble. You will hear of more tragedies
like the Bryants. It's the sad fruitage of the stubborn
death dealing Pharisees in control of weak, sick people.
Those whom the Gods would destroy
they first make mad
