Why do some expect the WTS to one day end? It's simply not going to happen folks........

    In my anger as an ex witness about 4 years ago I really wished that this would happen. Although the glaring errors, hypocrisy & downright badness of the WTS was finally evident to me personally, others whom I had expeced to eventually leave the org have not.

    I think it dawned on me around 1 or 2 years ago that my wife will never leave the witnesses. Having presented in both heated & reasonable debate every kind of logical argument against the religions teachings the conversations would get to the point where she would simply refuse to answer my questions. My observations were so simplistic, realistic & true that she would not comment on them. The logic was shut out. The guards went up. The conversation ended.

    I can still recollect the utter frustration of knowing that my wife could see my points & actually tell me that she agreed with me yet she could not go into that zone. She couldn't allow herself to take it on, digest it & make decisions based on the logic. She had to stick with the religion. Even though she could see the glaring faults & errors. My wife was more or less brought up in the religion. I was not.

    As the last 4 or 5 years have rolled by I have been astonished to see my wife adapt to & accept the ever changing WTS procedures & doctrines. Matters that are big to me just seem to pass them all by. Not a question asked. Not a whimper of outrage. They just f***ing accept it all.

    My point is that there will always be people willing to continue this racket of a religion. Just like the catholics who's history is steeped in corruption, murder & ungodliness, yet a week ago 200 000 people lined the streets of my country to acknowledge the head of an organisation who's crimes over the centuries are well documented. They just go along with it.

    Give up the notion of the WTS ever ending or disbanding. It aint going to ever happen.

    Discuss.

    Yeah, it's just wishful thinking I guess.

    I mean no offense but this is being debated in another active thread so i'll simply cut and paste since it appies equaly here:

    I hate to point this out in the midst of so much optimisum about the orgs demise, however, they have survived 100 years. I mean damn, how many times can one org be wrong or flip flop and still GROW???? Really, it is scientific. Nature abhors a vacuum. there are at least 7 million people who NEED leadership that the org gives. The position of alpha jw prohphet and visionary will only be vacant until the vacuum is severe enough for it to fill. I'm dont view this as pessimistic, simply as reality. I have 100+ years of history to support this. If i'm wrong first round is on me.. if not, "we" (those who are "awake") keep informing and waking one mind at a time. there are already more former than those in. The war is done no matter if they fly the white flag or not. I think they will limp along and some will always be content to limp with them

    I agree they'll always be around in one shape or another. I rarely post on the "wishful thinking" threads as I feel its a waste of time, and all it does is gets a person's hopes up, only to be shot down. IF you keep a crappy disposition, you're rarely dissapointed.

    We can dream about the demise - but it ain't going to happen any more than armageddon is.

    The Worldwide Church of God just disbanded. The same thing could happen the WT Society.

    The Catholic Church is a bad example. They have been around for a LOOOONNNGGG time and are rooted deep into the generations of many families. The Witnesses are a rogue group with little power and influence.

    The fact that as many people have left the WT that are currently in (7 million) speaks volumes to what we could see in the future.

    The internet has hurt the WT and their counter play is laughable.

    The WT, in some form, will always exist, but I would be willing to wager that in 15-20 years we wont even be able to recognize it.

    Another damning fact is the retention of WT youth. WT youth have been the BACKBONE of the Org for many years.

    How many Witnesses would there be today if the same ratio that leaves today left back in the day?

    They are dying, IMO.

    I have a co-worker who is one of the Fundamentalist splinter groups that resulted in the WCoG reform. They think the original church will be put back together.
