    Once in a while the WTBTS actually says something that is TRUE! YES, I left the b0rganization for SELFISH reasons. To live my life for me not for the self proclaimed slave's kingdom interests. The kindom was not interested in me or my happiness and I eventually lost interest in promoting their books and magazines and trying to recruit more slaves for the master.

    YES! I tired of waiting for the 'promised' new world that was always 'right around the corner'. Sorry. It didn't come soon enough to justify sacrificing my entire life for what might be just a dream. As one expecation after another was dashed to pieces, I must admit, I lost my faith. Upon reflection I came to conclude that it was not God whom I lost faith in, for God did not promise a 'new world' that was 'right around the corner'. God did not promise that the 'generation' that saw the events of 1914 would also see the end (can't believe they're still putting that in the mags).

    Jesus said his load is kindly and his burden is light. Then why did I feel so bogged down, like no matter how hard I tried to please God it was never good enough. Why was there a question about my 'survival' into a 'new earth' so unsure? AHA! Because it was NOT God's requirements that strangled me, but the requirements of the self appointed 'faithful and discreet slave class', more specifically, the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses, who heaped up heavy loads for their 'followers' and made promises they could not possibly keep. In the end I would stand alone before my maker. For the time-being, I will love God as I always have and work out my own salvation, if there is to be any at all.

    I like how you laid out how the WTBTS set the loyalty trap for it's followers. Failed expectations must be the topic around the hall. In the past few months, my JW honey has scornfully referred to the poor saps who had false expectations back in 1975. This must warm the cockles of the old ones who lived through that nonsense. I've tried to point out, gently, that he is the next generation of poor sap, who is confidently putting off making any decisions about his future on this earth. Like savings, pension, etc. etc. After all, it won't last long. Right? Right?
