Farkel, that was plastered with your copyright to anyone who's read you.
Any one point you made should be enough for a conscientious JW to revile in horror. Oh well.
A little intelligent examination of their final-solution doctrine really illuminates the degree of thought suppression/dependence necessary among Jehovah's Witnesses. Without that, it would be impossible for them to pitch this stuff from door-door. And yet that is what we all did.
(1) Did we accept it first? Or (2) did we, for some other reason, desire to taut such crap first, and came to believe our own lies later? Mostly it was option (2), in my case.
Was it, "sooner murder an infant in its cot than harbour unacted desires"? (WT:pp666 2002)
I had this discussion with Mormons, a few weeks back, nailed them to the kitchen table, and tickled until they said, "not just Mormons will survive". So of course I asked, "why should I want to be Moronised?" Their answer? (its too good to blurt out, you'll have to wait for it). The Elder, a gangly, big footed boy, obviously going through major physiological changes, called Elder Walsen (wouldn't give his first name), and the other Elder XXX in training (about two years younger) they looked at each other to decide who would field this one. "Well", hand on Book of M, "we believe there are certain exceptional individuals, like Mother Theresa, who will survive even though they aren't Mormons"
"I'm exceptional, thank God for that," says me, "I thought I didn't have a chance!" tollerant smiles from the lads, "So glad I don't have to be a Mormon. And anyway, at thirty-one I'm obviously too old to be an Elder!" They actually laughed at that one. Humanity will out.
