The dubs are all trained in their theocratic warfare and are good at using emotional black mail, passive aggressive guilt tripping etc. I have not step foot in a kingdum hall, outside of attending my parents memorial services, now for about 15 years and have being in active for about 30 years yet some of my family members still use these sleazy tactics. I really do not think they know what they are doing but it is due to the brain washing, mind control cult. I know when I was in I used the same type of tactics.
Back in 1984 when I was newly married and our first son was a newborn, I was missing meetings during the week because I was taking some night school courses to get certifications I need for my job. The Elders came calling on us and warned me of the spiritual dangers of missing meetings and pursuing and education in this time of the end. One of them said "You wouldn't want to have come this far just miss out on everlasting life and have some other man marry your wife and become your son's father would you?"
I recall back in the mid 80's my ex father in law having a pep talk with me about how short the time of the system is and it was not time to play around in it. A few years later he was stumbled by what some elders said to him and he is no longer a dub to this day. If I ever see him I should say, oh gee I guess the time is getting really short now, time to jump back in.... You know growing up we were told we would not even graduate in this old system. That was 45 years ago and I had a career and I am now retired also.
Don't you want to see Grandma when she comes back? It will break her heart if you don't make it through Armageddon.
This one makes no sense to me because as a dub we were told that in the new system that those memories would be whipped from our memories. So in the dubs teachings, old grannie would forget all about you if you did not make it through into the new system.
