to be a witness you had to accept whatever spiritual food was being dished out.
even if it didn’t make any sense, we were expected to believe.
now that we are out of the cult, do you find yourself a person who doesn’t just accept the status quo?
Here are tons of studies coming out showing that Mask did nothing to contain the virus. It was more of a political statement.
And once you got the virus, you most likely have antibodies for the rest of your life.
Also, many young one getting the vaccine are developing heart problems
are you sometimes dumbfounded at the direction the governing body takes?.
thousands of documents proving 607 bce is wrong, yet the gb sticks to the date, why?.
the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.
This man was ALL ABOUT Jehovah, the Kingdom, Jesus Christ's return and every trivia point that the Bible had to offer. His mind was on these things all the time, so much so that even for a Bethelite, it seemed not human
I think most are in a state of denial about the horrors they inflict on others, telling themselves that it is what God wants.
This kind of makes me sad, because it describes a lot of the people I love and that I will never be able to convince them, they are in a cult. They will rather die than take blood, they will choose to live in poverty and pioneer rather that care for themselves, they will live a meager, miserable life believing everything the GB says like overlapping generation and such, rather than believe me, that I'm trying to help them.

Another perspective;
StarTempleThis is because denial can be very strong. Now if one believes "we alone are God's chosen holy molies" then any information to the contrary will be denied, but like denial on steroids.
JWs are delusional to this degree because they have a God chosen complex which inflates their egos. This self-righteousness is a power trip so strong JWs will hide criminal malfeasance in their congregations and organization to MAINTAIN AN ILLUSION OF HOLINESS.
That is correct. A JW will aid and abet a child rapist [for decades] rather than call the cops and admit the place is dirty.
JWs are on the heroin of self-righteousness, they believe they alone are "God's chosen" and everyone else will be destroyed in columns of fire and ash so they alone can "inherit the earth".
Now, this insane mindset is easy to not consider when examining the JW delusional thinking complex. BUT, this totally "delusions of grandeur" condition is what WT has developed in them for decades. IF one believes this non-sense, they think they are the best and most righteous people walking the planet.
A high such as this can be very very addictive. This is the dope JWs shoot up from WT every day of their lives, so this warped high is very very strong in them. JW self-righteousness of the "we alone are to be saved" insanity is the main driving force JWs use to justify all their other crimes, because "God's chosen" can do whatever they please.
This is how JWs got warped, the ones who believe this have a severely distorted view of themselves, their group and REALITY itself. JWs live in a fantasy world. That can be dangerous.
Like with a heroin withdrawal, leaving this fantasy life bubble can be very painful, so many JWs choose to stay high and in the main fantasy at all costs.

do tend to trust the better nature of people
Me personally I Know some people are not evil, but trusting the better nature of people can get you in serious trouble. All it takes is one second.

Well with the past couple of years of experience, - looking to experts in their fields for direction, (Dr Fauci, NHI, World Health Organization, Biden, Justice Department, Fbi, The FAITHFUL SLAVE, etc)------I don't believe anything or anybody.

the generation that would not die, yet they continue by introducing an overlapping generation.. disfellowshipping at a time when everyone is leaving, not a good idea, yet they continue to disfellowship.. here is a video that addresses these questions.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbgeqhp9o9i.
Did you ever “serve” as an attendant at conventions? What about working the parking lot at assemblies or memorial? Did you or your dad routinely travel to other halls to give a Sunday talks? Did you ever work safety at quickbuilds? Did you ever have a part on the stage at an assembly or convention? Were you ever in a drama? Did you ever get to pass the emblems (or even partake)? If you got baptized, do you remember sitting in the special section that morning? Did you ever get announced as an MS, elder or pioneer?
If you can answer yes to any of the above questions, you may recall the sense of pride you felt. Even if you’re a lowly teenager running mics or controlling the sound, any position of responsibility comes with a small (but noteworthy) power trip. Imagine, for a brief moment, an elder, the COBE, the circuit overseer or even a visiting bethelite pulls into the parking lot at memorial or circuit assembly and for one small moment, it is you who has all the power and control. You have the orange vest, the orange cone, the straw hat and the honorable Attendant badge. They must drive and park where you tell them to. They will obey your command. For a small snapshot in time, even they must follow your leadership and direction—even tho they represent god on earth. But for that moment, they heed your direction when parking a car. They need your microphone to share their wisdom. The anointed cannot partake unless you hand them the emblems. They cannot speak while you’re on the platform, even if you’re simply reading the WT. YOU have all the power and control. YOU command everyone’s attention. The day you got baptized, it was YOU everyone looked at in the special section. It was you they sang and applauded for. When you (or your dad) visited another hall to deliver a Sunday talk, you already felt special. They lined up to meet you. You met new friends. You were automatically trusted as “exemplary” and even given “hospitality.”
And even tho you may have only been a teenager at the time, or if you were an adult MS or elder, you were likely nothing special outside of the empowering moments those titles brought with them—but for those brief moments, even YOU, an uneducated window washer, enjoyed the taste of control and power. The highest ranking JW had to park where you told them. They couldn’t enter a quickbuild without safety gear and you had the power to stop them. They couldn’t interrupt your talk or take your spotlight the moment your appointment was announced. Yet, outside those windowless walls, you were nobody.
IMAGINE the sense of power and control the GB feels all the time, everywhere they go. They brag about their humble lifestyles (and it’s true, their lodgings at HQ are ok at best—nothing spectacular, in fact most of our homes are probably nicer than their rooms are), but they never lose that feeling of ultimate authority. Everywhere they go, they’re met with reverence. Everything they say is spoken as god’s mouthpiece. Every visit they make, every broadcast they host, they are revered.
What’s their motivation, you ask? Just try to remember those brief moments when you had title, rank and authority over others and ask yourself what you’d do if that was the way you lived 24/7.
