I have observed the programming of the JWs when I played Bible ping pong with two JWs (probably elders). I mentioned that Greek scholars disagreed with the NWT rendering of John 1:1. I quoted one scholar and the JW just flat out said he is an apostate. I was just stunned thinking where did that come from? He doesn't even know the scholar personally.
I also emailed an associate (can't call him a friend because he never befriended me) I used to play basketball with for years. I gave him a lot of information concerning the Watchtower such as their false prophecies and he got off on a temper tantrum and thought I was attacking him. I was seriously tried to deliver this in the most delicate, nicest, kindest manner but his faith in the "truth" is just unbelievable in light of what I showed him. He just seemed very irrational and childish. So I know the programming or brainwashing is real just as I have gathered from my research.
That said, most of the JWs Ive met besides them are just average people. Most are extremely nice and cordial people but just deceived - big time. I feel for them and I really want to deliver the truth about the "truth" to them and I want to be very wise on how to go about delivering it to them.
I think everyone has the right to at least hear the truth even though they may not accept it. If you were caught up in a deception wouldn't you want to know the real truth?
I plan to go to another Kingdom Hall this Sunday and I going to be very "outgoing" to try to get to know as most people as I can. I am sure at least one person will want my contact for study so that will open up an opportunity for me.
