I love Jehovah’s Witnesses. I hate the Watchtower organization for enslaving them.

Okay .. I am confused. Isn't the Watchtower Organization their parent organization? Does it not follow that if one disagrees with the organization, one leaves it?

Think Stockholm Syndrome. If ones family is entrenched, and the children are raised in that environment, that is all they know.

Now these children grow up and start having their own thoughts and probably think its them that is the problem.

I've known some bad ones and a few good ones. My sister's sister-in-law (ex), who was a practicing JW her entire life is now Roman Catholic.

I'm not too sure if she is still being "shunned" and "corrected" by her children. I try to stay as far away from that entire family.

However, the good few I stated lead more of a Christian life than most "Christians" I know.

NO,no, no. Why should the JWs be any different from those RCs who refuse to leave the church despite their fundamental disagreements on abortion, gay sex, women priests, and a whole host of other issues>

Better to stay and take over, along with all the assets, and throw the fundies out.

That’s the way the Left works, and that’s the way all those in error they are unwilling to give up work. In this case, those in error are already in charge, and they’re getting their stories ready.
