The Appeal and Draw of the Watchtower
by Saved_JW inwhen i first left the watchtower organization in 2008, a flood of emotions came back to me.
betrayal, anger, resentment, deep depression from the relationships lost.
emotions seemed to guide my viewpoint of others as well.

I would add
1) exclusiveness - It must be the true church as all other sects hate us.
2) belonging - Most humans have a need to belong to something be it a stamp club or sports club
3) It provides information on how to live our lives - supports
4) the books and magazine can be an attraction
5) Old door to door salespeople showing interest in the elderly ( love bombing )

I am not a JW I am a sceptic with a touch of conspiracy belief. I do collect watchtower books etc for their historical interest. I have a library of many thousands of books on religion, history, politics, ufos, conspiracy and bibles. I have bibles worth thousands of dollars each. But I do see the jws as well as other cults closer to the teachings in the NT then most of the protestant and catholic sects

The cross is a pagan symbol that predates Christianity. The OT has its origins in other cultures. Christianity is just a pagan religion mixed with a few made up stories -

Has anyone looked at the local churches in their area and seen pagan and freemason symbols both inside and outside. I am not a JW but at least they don't seem to follow this trend. Why do "Christians" wear a symbol of torture and death ? ( the Cross) If Jesus was killed by a shotgun would we be wearing or worshipping that? The local Anglican church has a Celtic cross ( I'm sure this is way older than the Christianity) and gargoyles over the windows and doors. Does the bible say to worship images made of wood, stone or metal? Or to see Mary as a goddess ? Most world religions have a Mary and child type god so this is just another pagan part of mainstream Christianity. No wonder the JWs, WWCOG and its many splinters, Christadelphian and others attract so many followers. There is no Christian sect that truly follows the bible. All have error in their teaching and all are money making businesses. ( think of the money lenders and stalls in the temple that Jesus went off at) Would any Christian give away everything to someone in need as Jesus did? Think about these points, if anyone thinks the above is ok then they are just as brainwashed as the JWs.
