And that is what this is truly about isnt it? You don't care to help, just expose!
So many children and adults are blind, misled, ignorant and cannot see that what they are worshiping that makes them this way.....Justmom
I would disagree with you JM..
sKally really does try to help,she also see`s the JW adults turn a blind eye to things that are obviously wrong..
Those people need to be exposed..
The JW children are the real victims in this..
They had no choice..sKally and I never had a choice as JW kids..
JW Adults who see whats wrong,can leave anytime they wish..
Most don`t because of the penaltys the WBT$ imposes on them..
Look how many active JW`s we have on these forums who have been here for years..
They know better,yet they remain..
It`s the JW Children that suffer because of the JW Adults selfishness..

But WE CAN Skally....We can!!! And if we approach it remembering how we were as ONE of them, we may be used to accomplish a much greater positive response. Not just being able to expose what and who they are following...but also share some truth!
Most aren`t interested in truth..They`re interested in being right..
Thats why it`s pointless to try and save a JW who is happy where they are..
You can only help the ones trying to escape..

See for me personally, what if my Lord had the same mentality as to me and others and said he never cared to help me as a piece of filth?
( as Paul mentions in Corinthians " that is what some of you were"...) but NOW we've been washed clean by means of CHRIST.
Your the exception..Thats why you ended up here..
The WBT$ is filled with filth..It`s not an Insult it`s an observation..

See I WAS an adult JW. I was also spiritually raped. I also shared in spiritually raping others with my life as a JW!
We are all guilty and play a part if we grew up in them. You admit you weren't an adult so you cannot completely understand then! But millions are and have been. And the lies, deceits, manipulative ways they use are strongly entrenched in us.
Because of this, we remember how it felt when someone came attacking our whole beliefs and foundation. You were not going to keep past first base let alone your point across. All one sees is anger and hate for what I trusted and worshipped. Sadly, but true.
The only way to get through to a JW is to point out their lies..Most will run..They don`t want the lies exposed..
Few will leave because they can`t live like that..

I agree with Shelby's and Zoe's approach in handling it. You did not apparently exist in her long enough to understand this part of it. Although any length is too long, but 30,40 and 50 years for some of us makes it even more understandable how to deal with those still IN!
sKally understands the WBT$ very well..
I think people who join the WBT$..
Have a much different view of the WBT$,than those of us who were raised in the WBT$ Cult..
It`s all we know..
We are going to notice subtleties,someone who joined,may probably miss..
So we tell you about them..It`s what we lived..
