    Great points Drew!!!

    Just speaking for myself only,

    I know that reformation of the watchtower is impossible.

    The letter that you refered to in the opening post is about reform -

    but that is not the goal of the letter.

    It is merely a way to get some elders to see past their cognitive dissonance,

    to see that they are not the only ones to have concerns about the problems of the organization.

    Hopefully it will move them to do more research...and hopefully they will in turn tell others.

    It will be like taking a pick-ax to a huge brick wall....we can't hope to take down the wall,

    but if we can leave some holes in it, I consider that a step in the right direction.

    This letter is intended for individuals, not for the organization...we know they would sqaush this letter if they could!

    But they can't because there will be too many in circulation. I plan on that!

    There will be too many people sharing the info that they have read with others.

    I'm realistic and optimistic...

    I agree with minimus, the more subtle the better...witnesses get freaked out over anything mildly over the top.

    Rather than believe in reform, it would be better to accept reality, get out and stay out and help others do the same. Meanwhile enjoy life NOW!

    You took the words right out of my mouth! I don't even bother trying to get my parents and siblings that are still in, out. Talking to them just makes me miserable. So if they are happy being in a mind control cult so be it!

    To reform, each individual has to re-analyze and re-evaluate everything there. Once an individual does that, who needs the Watchtower or anything like it?

    Exactly. Anybody who hopes for reform is already halfway out of the movement.

    Let the Watchtower fall to the ground as in the days of Jericho

    Because with the UN she as acted as a Ho'

    Long gone are the Watchmans, seeking to protect and proclaim

    Replace by prison guards, Guardtowers are all that they remain

    But keep those safe, those held captive behind it's tower walls

    They have been blinded with the GB's lies, promises and stalls

    Many are honest hearted and came to serve Jehovah God

    Not realizing that by the GB they would be rode roughshod.

    Let the Light of Christ shine upon there newly opened eye

    Let them shout Joyful cries

    IMHO
