During the 1970’s, 80’s, & 90’s….whenever I would try to discreetly engage others in a group regarding a recent WT study article or assembly talk adjustments that sounded absurd, we all remember peoples reaction. Be careful Bro.…… “You are talking against Christ’s anointed brothers.” Or my favorite…… “Why if I didn’t know better you sound almost like an apostate.”
Most JW’s were so confident of the special connection their leaders had with the Almighty. Do not suggest that you were ever questioning them!! It may sound mean but I really feel zero sympathy for these older JW’s and their delusions of grandeur. Many were smug & haughty eagerly expecting the rest of mankind to be destroyed.
Remember their famous go to scripture, “For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap.”
Oh and by the way remember their attitude and boastful feelings decades ago:
WT September 15, 1971 p. 564 par. 22 Set Apart from the World
22 All who seek a place in the redeemed society of mankind thereby come into association with the happiest people on earth—Jehovah’s witnesses. These are the only people who know for a certainty where they are going.
WT March 1, 1988 p. 17 My Life in Jehovah’s Spirit-Directed Organization
Indeed, in every country, Jehovah’s people are the best and the happiest!
WT March 1, 1989 p. 3 How to Identify True Ministers of God
However, true ministers of God not only have duties and requirements but also have many privileges. In fact, as a group, they are the most privileged, the most successful, and by far the happiest group on earth today, as you will see in the next article.
So be it then, many JW’s who never remotely anticipated the year 2016 arriving have gotten old and will die in this old system. How happy are they now?
As far as I’m concerned they are getting exactly what they deserve.
And remember all this crap and self-importance just continues.....after all it’s the..... ”The Best Life Ever.”
