  What percentage were born jw's to those who were not?

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after taking a count of my last 3 congregation phone lists 85% of those on the lists were born as jw's.

  what do you think that says about jw having the true religion?

  doesn't that mean that if you were not born into a jw family your as good as dead?

  Did you ever feel guilty when you went out in service?

  i'm speaking not about yourself, but for the houeholder.

  i would say for about the last 1.5 yrs before i left i didn't want to give a "good witness".

  one because i didn't completly believe in it and two, i didn't want the householder to live the same misery i and most others were living.

  How relieved are you now that your finally set free?

  i was thinking back to the time when i was in my "spiritual paradise" oh about 7 months ago and i can really remember just how unhappy most people really were.

  most seemed so loaded down with "privledges" and "responsiblilities" that it just sucked the life out of them.

  any spirit they may previously had had faded to mere a shell of their former selves.

  especiallly considering all the great people that will never get a chance to recieve "a witness" that will, again according to them, be eternally destroyed at armageddon.

  and i refuse to believe that hearing " do you want the latest wt and awake mags?

  "Dangling Carrot"

  by micheal in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  did anyone here have that "dangling carrot"( privledges) put in front of them?

  basically the elders demanded you do anything they tell you to do or else you wouldn't recieve that "privledge".

  basically you had to humiliate yourself and act if like a dancing monkey " or else, not this time brother".

  2. friends

  i just left the "truth"a couple of months ago, did some sub-contracting work for a brother ( real self-righteous guy), just recieved a phone call from him saying he will no longer be needing my services.

  nothing to do with my work he said, just the way it goes.

  what a wonderful frickin brotherhood, those damn bastards!!!

  God's Justice?

  by micheal in

  .

  if jw's are the only ones to survive armageddon, than wouldn't you agree that witness that were born into the truth caught the break of a lifetime - thus my question is, how can one say that this is true justice?
