Did the Watchtower Society inspire you?

    Nope. Never. Not a once. It wasn't until AFTER I left that I got inspired to look deeper. It's hard to dig for the "deeper meaning" which I do remember them asking us to do when they tell you "but don't go too deep because your small little mind can't handle it. Here take this pamphlet and become aware of what you will believe now on the matter".

    The org. motivated me through guilt and shame, not postive inspiration.

    The WTS inspires people to mediocrity. Untapped talent that could be used for so much good and so much life! All stifled my religious mediocrity. Sad.

    I just don't get it. The WTS could benefit in so many ways by lifting the weight of religious oppression off the backs of it's people. The WTS could gain monetarily, too. But it must be about exclusiveness to a religious doctrine held up to be from God, yet so many rules and regulations that aren't biblical.

    Great post, Dragon.

    Didn't you know? It's MUCH more fun to be a martyr.

    Maybe that is what inspired them to push people out that did not work to their advantage. It is certianly how they treat people who leave.

    I want to apologise if my first post offended you in any way

    I don't offend easy. Never have been that way. So don't worry, I was not offended at all.

    Take Care
