Do they really think all non-Witnesses are all unhappy and live horrible lives? Or do they have to believe it so their mundane lives seem a little better?
I think it is a little bit of both actually. I remember just after 9/11 here in the US our city had like 35,000 people show up at the practicing ballfield for the Diamondbacks to have pictures taken for a human flag to send to the rescuers in NYC. My youngest daughter, who was just leaving the "troof" said, as we were leaving "Wow, all these people working together in an organised way and there are no riots!" I aksed her what she meant by that. She said "Well, when I would go to the meetings we were always told that we as Jehovah's Witnesses were the only ones that could get this many people together without problems. Now I see that it does happen." She went on to say that she is now realising, at 18, that a lot of the things she was told growing up by the JW's are not true. Outside I was calm but inside I was jumping up and down with joy. SHE GETS IT!!!!!...I was thinking.
