Thing is when I was like 6 I really liked the Watchtower covers. I remember there were a few that depicted peoples of different colours,animals, mountains and waterfalls all coexisting in seeming harmony and love. I thought much of the world was like that .
Forward 36 years and my little mental image based on the watchtower cover has been bruised and battered beyond recognition. Because we are all supposed to grow up.
I did agree with a few of their ideas, but as I discovered without truth and full disclosure there can never be a harmonious world like that. And the way the JWs treat their members just beggars belief.
I wouldn't be surprised if many people leave the JWs in droves

If he ever thought his contributions here on the Spirituality Forum were promoting the integrity of his religious group, or demonstrating the decency and equilibrium that his beliefs were supposed to afford him, then he was missing the mark.
