  Who's steering this chariot?

  Either no one at all or at least no one that knows what the fuck they're doing!

  JW stopped me in the street.....

  he pulled up in his car beside me and asked for directions, then he recognized me, we used to be in the same congo.. the usual pleasantries, i gave him directions, and then "when are you going to come back then" he asks.. "never" i say, "well, it has all changed" he says, " it's not like it used to be" i detect a tone of regret.. "but you know there is nowhere else to go" he boldly proclaims.. "yes there is !

  " say i, "there is somewhere where you can find truth, and truth is supported by facts and evidence ".

  he had to drive off then as he was blocking a narrow street, i did not get time to say " go to jw facts.com", i will tell him next time..

  Joseph Rutherford = Donald Trump

  i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.

  i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.

  he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.

  WT: He ran for office twice and lost both times.

  Well that explains a lot!

  Okay, to redirect. The point, I believe, that the OP was trying to make is that narcissistic, demagogues tend to have many traits in common. As ex-JWs, it shouldn’t be surprising for us to see some similarities between Rutherford (the control freak that really turned this religion into a cult) and Trump.

  We could just as easily draw parallels between any two authoritarian autocrats, but Rutherford is significant in the history and character of the cult we all left and Trump is the current President of the United States.

  If we, as ex-Witnesses lived elsewhere in a country with a leader that exhibited such behaviors we would no doubt draw the appropriate comparisons, Rutherford to:

  • Putin in Russia
  • Orban Viktor in Hungary
  • Kim Jong Un in Korea, etc.

  Do the math.

  That’s all.

  BBW: What makes you think Trump has persecution complex?

  Oh, I dunno. Maybe it’s the bazillion times he’s tweeted “WITCH HUNT”!

  
  

  Or how about when, in May 2017, in an an address to a US Coast Guard graduating class in Connecticut on Wednesday, Mr Trump said: said "No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."

  Historians disagree. Click here to read why.

  Why don’t you google “Trump persecution complex” for yourself and see what you find?

  The problem of being (or wanting be to) an Ex-Muslin

  i just finished reading a long article about the young people wanting to break free of islam in australia and the problems they face in leaving their high control religion.

  the similarities between us and them is quite clear, as is how they woke up.

  it's worth a read.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-09/double-lives:-the-secret-ex-muslim-network-in-australia/9811340.

  This just in: Research shows all cult leaders bear striking resemblance to each other, particularly in regard to their narcissistic personalities and corresponding persecution complexes.

  That being said, I'm still waiting for a specific answer to the questions that Cofty, Sparrowdown and I posed:

  • What is it -- right now (or 2016,if you prefer) -- about America that isn't great? (Be specific.)
    
  • When was this time that the word 'again' implies? When was it exactly that those who endorse this slogan believe that America "was great"?
  • What does a "great" America look like? Is it a reference to the fifties? Eighties? Pre 911? Pre political correctness?
    
  • Why exactly do they think that America "was great" then, but not now?
  • What values and beliefs are implicit in accepting this slogan and everything that goes with it?
  • Correspondingly, what values and beliefs does accepting this slogan require a person to thereby reject?

  No takers ....
