Are There Good People Out There?

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
even though i'm no longer mentally a jw (i still technically am) i do recognize that there are some benefits to being raised one.

for example, the first (and only so far) wordly guy i was involved with had to smoke weed every day and got drunk all the time and that was his idea of fun.

i couldn't help but feel bad for him.

Watchtower tricks and deceptions
by slimboyfat in
1. watchtower
2. scandals
one of the first things that shocked me when learning the truth about the truth was how the organisation uses tricks and deception to fool their own membership.

i guess we all have our own favourite examples, like the quotes in the publications that make outside sources look like they oppose the trinity/support the nwt/disprove evolution, when in context the intent of the original source is quite different.

or the grossly exaggerated experiences delivered at conventions: if we happen to know the person or were present at the events described we know it's often garbage what they say on stage, more closely resembling a desired script emanating from headquarters than anything that actually happened to real witnesses in the circuit or district.

some background here; non-jw family members who are overly respectful and protective of the jw's.. i thought i might try a completely different tactic.

i thought i'd let it sit with her for a couple of weeks or more before following it up .
