When you are raised as a JW, your JW parent(s) are supposed to instill this in you as a child. So what is to put on? That is a question I have asked myself many times being a JW. Now that I am contemplating leaving by doing a slow fade, I find myself shedding a lot of attitudes. However, I have always considered non-JWs as decent people--never as the enemy. I don't have any close friends in the org. I have two close friends outside the org. and am getting close to making another close friend. Two of them are no longer JWs and one is married to a guy who was raised by JWs but never did anything about it.
Lady Lee's comments are excellent because that is just what the org. wants you to feel and believe. Myself, I think humans are complicated beings and we need to get ahold of ourselves to keep from being tossed around "hither and thither" by many ideas and philosophies and choose one or two and live our lives by them. I hope that made sense!
