A few years ago I held out hope, that if I was patient and waited on Jehovah, he would correct things in his due time.
There was still a part of me that wanted to believe it was the truth - it was still part of my comfort zone, after all I was raised in the truth from infancy.
I took heart that people wanted to reform the organization rather than plot or wish its downfall.
Websites such as http://www.jwreform.org/ and heart felt open letters written by those who wanted something better gave me hope that if enough people got together, real change might actually happen.
As time passes, and new discoveries are made concerning the untruths that the Watchtower Society has sold and promoted to us, it become evident that there is no possibility of reform - real reform, from a totalitarian spiritual government to a first century model of Christianity.
Tomorrow, activists from around the world will march in London at the G20 summit. The word is that the G20 group of finance ministers will not bring anything new to the forum, but will simpy discuss ways of trying to prop up the old financial order.
And so it is with the Watchtower Organization - there have been protests, letters written to the Governing Body, marches on Bethel, TV documentaries on the JW child abuse problem, but what has really changed for the better?
The society is reactionary - it prefers the old system of doing things because it works for them. Their attitude is screw the publishers - after all, they just see them as mere commodities to spread their message.
The Watchtower is beyond reform and like the old financial system it must go. It serves no other purpose than to forcible enslave millions of unsuspecting JWs to their commerical brand of religion.
