The Watchtower is not invincible. They can - and are - suffering various defeats thruout the world. Even in lands where they once
outlasted fascism, publishers are being lost (France, Japan, Germany,
Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, etc.) What is the essential key
to defeating this monolithic cult?
Patience - and persistent work
At present, the Witness subculture is a collection of
deeply held habits - and not, primarily, a rational scheme of doctrines. The Society has largely abandoned the field on doctrinal
issues - with simple 'cut and paste' articles and superficial
appeals to obey the "faithful and discreet slave". Even life and
death issues like blood avoid any depth, revealing the hidden
bankruptcy of their claims.
Cults are built on programming, anyway, - and it takes patient
effort to break down years of unthinking habits. Witness kids
are a big help here, as they abandon congregations and put pressure
on Witness parents to stop cult-like behaviors ("have as little
to do as possible with df'd relatives"). Squeezing in holidays
helps. too - "we're not celebrating Christmas, just because we
give a relative a gift!".
Yes, it takes patience - kind, consistent effort to encourage
your relatives and friends towards compassion - and away from
unthinking obedience to an unworthy leadership.
God speed to silentlambs and all the rest of you,
Keep chipping away, day after day and year after year!
