If you had to describe the faithful slave, information disseminating arm of the organization as having a singular, human personality, what would that personality be like? Would it not be that of a nagging mother? How many "warnings" about apostates, the internet, Satan, worldlies, workmates, people met while on vacation, Satan, working too much, not putting forth enough effort, the media, slowing down, Satan, entertainment, Satan Satan Satan, etc. have you heard in the past year? Does it ever stop, this endless badgering? Do you appreciate having a "mother" like this? A mother who constantly barrages you with pictures and words that describe or depict what she thinks you (her wanting-to-be-obedient-but-in-need-of-constant-guidance-and-correction child) should be doing? Not a day goes by when mother isn't promoting the family creed to you in one way or another.
Do you appreciate a mother who, although having no fleshly children of her own, never hesitates to dispense advice to you about how to properly raise your family? Are you measuring up to mother's expectations in this regard? How does it feel to fall so woefully short of Mother's lofty yet perfectly attainable ideals? Does it feel like shame? Do the pictures of happy happy JW family life and happy happy JW congregation life as depicted in the magazines reflect what you see in your local congregation?? Or does it sometimes seem like these pictures are so much propaganda?? Do you sometimes giggle at them??
Do you appreciate a mother who feels it necessary to counsel you about how she expects you to behave, not once, but several times in the months leading up to the glorious convention that all of Jehovah's happy happy people are going to be attending?? Are your fellow JW's as happy as Mother thinks they are? And are people outside the organization as wicked and miserable as Mother would have you believe? Does mother seem to have a bit of a loose grip on reality???? Does mother's us-vs.-them mantra become tiring sometimes?
Do you sometimes cringe at the way mother repeats the same ideas to you literally hundreds of times?? Does it seem difficult to think independently in this environment? Does mother treat you like an adult? Do you sometimes read mother's advice on a matter, and disagree with her counsel? How do you feel when that happens? Does it feel like shame? Mother doesn't take criticism or disagreement very well, does she? Do you feel sometimes you'd like to stand up to...no, just keep choking it down. After all she does know best, as she's told you time and time and again. This world is so dangerous! Mother is your protection! Remember, she is led by God's spirit. You remember that don't you? You know, the faithful slave! Matt 24:45-47! Mother has been given her authority from God! You need to always rember this! Mother knows how important it is for you to remember what the source of her authority is, so don't worry - her reminders will never cease.
When you follow mother's advice to a T and do everything she asks you to do and be everything she asks you to be, how wonderful yet fleeting that feeling is! Because two nights from now, next week, next month, next year, mother will be asking you to examine yourself, question yourself. Again and again. Do you measure up? Mother doesn't approve of everything you're doing. And she knows what you're doing. Mother loves you and knows what is best for you! Remember that!
