Why not just let people leave honorably? What would it hurt? I don't get it.....
Why can't the WTBTS just let people go ?

I believe they are afraid that their numbers would drop too much. Also, they would lose their membership in the CULT club if they acted like a normal religion. I think shunning is a key characteristic in running a cult so it's kinda hard to let folks just walk.

The truth is right now the adversary is in full control. It's a trap. It's a mixture of the red pill and blue pill. It's not a true red pill.

And the adversary doesn't want to release them, and sets it up so when they do get released, they are still under his control, have given up.

No then other people would leave......there was a time in 1974 when treating df'd people was more friendly...then they brought down the boom.
The WTS doesn't show love and can only control through fear.

Why?
Greed. Greediness for power, control. Were Hitler and Stalin greedy for money? Nope, that wasn't what they were about. They were greedy for power over others...... and that's the Watchtower's desire, too.

A couple years go, the CO was railing against apostates in his last talk on Sunday. Why do they makes such a fuss? There's no lock on the back door! No one is making you sit here. . . .
Bullshit.
Although I plan to use that as my defense if I ever need to. . .
