Point To Ponder:
While so-called 'Christadom' (aka all Judeo-Christian themed faith groups that happen to simply NOT be JW) have their mystious trinity....few in or out of JW realize that the JW org has their own version of a trinity. Oh they (the JDubs) don't actually discribe this belief as a 'trinity'...but if a thinking person ponders on this they will discover that it works out the same. What I am talking about here..is the FACT that threw the JW's org's so-called theocratic order of teaching...such HIGH importance is placed on what the imperfect/man-made board of men at Bethel think...aka "The Organization" thinks...that, without even realizing it..they place what the org thinks as if..on the very same and precise level as what Jehovah and Jesus think....Thus question the org is to Jehovah God and Jesus Christ...
Now, you understand what I mean when I say that the JW's have their own version of a trinity?
Now..because of this confussing and contridictive teaching..that what ever the IMperfect board of men at bethel known as "The Organization" says is somehow, supose to equal Jehovah God and Christ...then this means for many an XJW, that if these Imperfect men "The organization"..and/or the people IN the organization were Unkind to them and burned them...then the UNforuant result is that they merg the indenity of this Imperfect board of men "The organization" or JW's WITH God...aka Jehovah....and THIS is where the MISdirected anger comes into play.
This results more often than not..in the angry agnostic/atheist XJW syndrom. This type of person has a bitch against God because they view God as the SAME as those snotty old men and/or women in the Kingdom Hall. Oddly, when these persons were STILL in the org..the org taught them this JW version of the trinity..and is this not odd...that even though that NOW they are NO LONGER IN the org...they STILL believe this...the question is....WHY??
The unforuant thing is...the org makes this claim that "if you leave the JW org you will become unhappy and bitter and leave your belief in God..." Well..here's the thing, why prove them right? If an XJW REALLY wanted to throw a monkey wrench in their haughty presumptions of what "ALWAYs happens to an XJW-"...
Then why not PROVE THEM wrong? If an XJW were to do this..it would be as Jesus disribed as "Heeping hot coals on their heads." In other words, if would really piss them off if you left the org and did NOT end up bitter, angry and agnostic.
Now, let's not wrongly asume that angry agnostic/atheist syndrom is somehow unique to JW's alone....Infact, it would be good to read and SEE for yourself that angry angnsitc/atheist syndrom also exists in OTHER fundamental Catholic and fundamental far right branches of Protestantism. For example..the book "Leaving The Fold." The very name of this book could make you think it is about an XJW...but infact, it is instead about an individual who was raised in the Assembly of God Church and then later joined Calvary Chapel. In the book, the author is burned by Clavary Chapel when a sanario occures when she witnesses with her own eyes the profound sexism that exist in the church.
Like a vast number of XJWs...she blaims God for the churches sexist actions. Like many an XJW, the author reasons: "If God exists then why did God ALLOW this church to be sexist?" ALLOW? God ALLOWS alot of things..but ALLOWING and BLESSING are '2' vERY 'DIFFERENT' things!
BOTH devote JW's In the org as well as XJWs out of the org and bitter about their XJW experience are WRONG in assuming that angry agnostic/atheist syndrom is somehow uinque to THEM. It is NOT. It's just because we were rasied in a religious society that prides itself in seperating themselves from the REST of society...then all we know is what happens IN JW...so we are not aware of what is happening with individuals in 'OTHER' Non-JW fundamental faith groups.
Here's the thing...if we are no longer IN the JW org and we explain that we know longer believe IN the org..then how or WHY would we STILL accept their teaching that the org's thoughts and views are the SAME as God's?
