My question is, do you feel that your activities here are synonymous to shutting the door of everlasting life on innocent people?. I just want to know if your motives are pure for what you are doing and if your experience as an ex-JW justify your presence here. Just curious.
The answer to this is NO. I don't feel that I am responsible for anything negative, or “bloodshed” by expressing my opinions and observations on a message board.
I came here on my own, no "apostate" has ever lured me or talked me into anything. I had a lot of bad experiences while I was in. Yet, I still stayed for a long time, looked above it and did not hold resentment. I didn't leave because I had a chip on my shoulder or was just bitter. Or because I wanted to go crazy with drugs and mad orgies.
I left because I realized it made no sense. It all came down to words and just rehearsed memorized words, repeated over and over. No proof, no real execution...no REAL explanation.
I don’t have an evil "motive" for posting on this site aside from sharing. from voicing a personal opinion.
Ask yourself, if you’re going to truly and honestly dedicate your entire body, mind and heart to something. Every waking hour of your life, every moment and let’s say raise a family. If you are going to literally gamble this known existing life you have AND the lives you have created into this belief/lifestyle. Wouldn’t it be common sense, to think? To compare? To research? To educate yourself?
By not doing that YOU would be the one shutting the door on an innocent life(lives).
If the WTS is so confident they have Jehovah’s blessing and not just their words of manipulation and control. They would have no fear of “apostates” or even words of contempt toward them. This fear is what drives those angry words you heard from the elder...
