  Paragraph 13

  Ever since [ 1914 ], mankind has experienced the truthfulness of these inspired words: “Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.

  I cannot believe how Dubs allow themselves to be convinced that the world is getting worse and worse each year.

  I cannot believe how Dubs allow themselves to be convinced that the world is getting worse and worse each year.

  While by no means a fan of Schnell's 30 Years a Watchtower Slave, he was probably right about one thing - namely, that the Watchtower Society capitalised on the tremendous upheaval that occurred across Europe in the wake of the First World War. This is what lead to their mantra about "everything is continuing to get worse and worse" - a mantra continued to this day, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

  So good to be away from all that doom and gloom!!! This information is from JW.FACTS:

  
  Despite a lack of reliable scientific studies, there is consistent indication of high levels of mental illness amongst Jehovah's Witnesses. There are a number of reasons why this could be the case - isolation from general society, an unrealistic view of the world and the destructive nature of the threat of disfellowshipping. Total reliance on a leadership that claim angelic direction, yet have a string of failed prophecies and doctrines, leads members to fear the religion may be wrong but fear leaving, leading to cognitive dissonance. Those that do leave are often inadequately prepared for life and lack a support group that would normally be developed in a healthy upbringing. Additionally, people with mental illness can be attracted to religious groups and the loving brotherhood that they promise.

  And they wonder why????
