for goodness sakes people get over it already!.

i can't even read over a thread hardly now without someone almost hi-jacking it with saying something like oh i hope simon changes his mind about shutting down this board or saying well he shouldn't be on a power trip and just sell it or give it to someone to continue on.

he has answered each of these numerous times and each time said no.

My theory about the behavior and obsession of some ex-JWs

by Simon in

i've had this theory for some time and alluded to it occassionally but have never explored it in detail.. it is of course a huge generalisation so no, not everyone will fit into the boxes and i'd like people's opinion.

i don't know everyone's circumstances so it's based on a small sample of some of those i do know something about.

it could be completely wrong, it's just an idea.. basically, i have seen a difference between some of those ex-jws who walked out vs those who were kicked out.. the most bitter and obsessive seem to be the kicked out and, i must add, those who were legitimately kicked out.

Anyone who doesn't accept the fact that there are examples of "dregs of humanity" in the JW org. are naive. I won't relate any examples, but you can pretty much include every kind of rotten (and criminal) behaviour you can think of

Gregor

I think there are tons more down trodden & burdened and beat up persons as compared to the truly criminal. of course criminals exist, but even criminals have a chance to change their lives.

I'd rather be naive than have a cold cold heart. I never let jws turn my heart to a piece of stone.

The wts obsession with rules instead of love just does not work. If you don't' teach children why they should not do something, they will do it at the first opportunity. Love by example teaches us why we should not lie, steal cheat etc. The wts fails miserably in that aspect. If they handled teenage "sins" ( or any kind of sins) in a more normal way, they would have less dysfunctional adults and marriages. They produce dysfunctional people who are so burdened from minor sins they often just go off at the first opportunity..

Many people in the org are severely depressed b/c they just cannot measure up. People kill themselves b/c they believe they are not as good as others b/c they have committed sins. . Dregs of humanity? No , humans who have problems and need help.

Fundy religions can be mean spirited and spite filled people with an axe to grind. God does not want people to go to hell or die at Armageddon, People do.

The bible says love never fails .I believe that.

However anyone left jws, I'm happy for you...I walked out after realizing the double standard they have - one for the inner circle and one for the peasants. I want nothing to do with any org that looks down it noses on the poor, sick and yes, dysfunctional. A church is there to help the dysfunctional, not kick them out.
