Hello BugEye:
Most of the literature from the WTS is presented in a "textbook" fashion, which impressively convinces people that the contained information must be correct.So you end up with people who are seeking a future being given "factual" information and regular "pump ups" necessary to continue the falacious thinking which leads them to believe that they do indeed "know" their future
Yes indeed...knowing the future as it was "prophecied in the Bible", his promises, his word...was the strongest hold on me fortified by all the "fulfilled prophecies" before us as proof these promises would also come true.And we felt so privileged to be among those who would "never grow old in this system"..."everlasting life, eternal youth, paradise", promises all backed up with "factual" information. Yes we were human and we trusted other humans we believed were guided by holy spirit. How wrong could they be if they're getting this "factual" information from God?That, I believe, is why so many of those still in still remain....they're still convinced they're being told the truth by these "humans", some of whom, are probably still humanly hanging on the the beliefs themselves while the remainder are just true-blue borg men.Ozzie says: It's a pity they enforce their 'human' rules as if they were perfect.
So true! Perhaps that will come back to smack them in the face soon.Had Enough
