"...the cult I grew up in and got to see the people around me for who they realy were, it was bleedingly obvious that they wanted this life, that they would defend it with everything they have. The same can be said factually about jews and judaism."
I agree.
The thing is, you're talking about you, too. You were in that cult. Just as you write off people in that cult, and in Judaism, you fail to acknowledge that at one point in your life, if you judged you by the judgement you judge Jews with, you would merit your worst scorn.
I submit to you that based on your experience, you can be certain sure that not every other Jehovah's Witness, nor every Jew, is as devoted to the dogma you claim them to be.
You are proof of that.
Do not tar a people because some are bad. Each individual answers for themselves, and those that are prejudiced, or hate, or are bigots, such as you, are answerable for what is inside themselves, not for who spews such drivel to them.
You are the target of your words here.
There are folks that haven't awoke and will, and folks that delight in using the trappings of religion, and the power of their institutions, to aggrandize themselves and their ilk to the greatest degree possible.
You are one of them. Each of us is one of them, somewhere along the spectrum between honest, responsible people and vicious thugs. No people sins. Only a person can sin.
No member of any group you can name is the group, and each is liable for their own self.
Just as you are.
I understand the correlation you are drawing from but there truly is one distinction that seperates myself from the judgement I am passing. For that is the fact that at the age of 14 I realised it was a cult religion and attempted to show as many people as possible, I was ridiculed, laughed at and hated by friends and family merely for thinking differently, I was segregated from my friends and family for years and years, judged harshly and thrown out. Not invited to weddings, dinners out, or anything in fact. I had to go out into the world and make it on my own.
This is where I draw the conclusion from that none of them want out, it is the very few and very very far between that want out. But a self serving seperated sect of sad brainwashed fanatics keep each other in check, the fact that you think I am harshly judging on a group because potentially a small minority might not be as hard core as the rest is in my eyes the same argument being made by neo-marxist leftists to combat “transphobia”. A minority of a group does not determine what the majority work for.
