How many would remain as JW,s in fact how many would continue to
believe in God? I estimate 75% would leave the cult and
50% would become non-believers (belief in God). There is no
doubt there would be a massive exodus.
I estimate after 6 months of investigating the topics here and
looking at the indisputable facts the WT would be first known
religious organization to go down in flame in one generation.
Just wishful thinking, we know this will never happen.
Ok, misleading topic, I know you were excited. LOL
JWs aren't trained to handle "apostate objections" and never will be. The Apostate universe is far too small for them to be concerned with, and of course is kryptonite to the average JW.
They are trained to handle the silly little objections from "Christendom" like hell fire, trinity, what happens when you die, etc. Of course, most are completely inept at even handling this stuff, thus their horrible results in converting people. (1.7 billion hours last year, less than 300,000 baptisms?)
Its all about INFORMATION CONTROL
Jam, I'm LMAO

It would be nice. It took me a good 6 months as an apologist for things to finally sink in. I would come to this and other sites to strengthen my faith. I think it depends on a few factors, - stubbornness is one I had to over come to wake up.
JW,s are told to investigate this site or similar sites to overcome objections.
Yes you are right, just a pipe dream. It would be to hard to
convince the RF that Satan don,t run this site, demons and
other little evil creatures won,t infect your PC. We can,t have
those little creatures disrupting your household.
You unintentionally flatter the JWs. Your scenario suggests the main thing standing in the way of JWs investigating this or similar sites is Watchtower injunctions to avoid these sites like the plague. I respectfully suggest you are wrong. You are far too optimistic about the "average" JWs motivation and/or ability to sift through more than one simplistic side of a topic.
I'd guess that, even with permission granted, a sizable proportion of JWs could not even be bothered to investigate other points of view, let alone opposing ones. In fact, God knows the large numbers of JWs who find it too much of a mental strain to even read the basic fodder in Watchtower publications in the first place. Although unkind, it would not be inaccurate to sum up the "average" JW mentality as dulled and lacking curiosity about other points of view.
In its more than 140-year-history, the Watchtower's main enemy has never been apostasy; instead, it's biggest enemy is apathy and specifically, member apathy. Most JWs who leave do so out of sheer boredom rather than anything more active going on with their brains.
well hopefully they would go to site ,like jwlinfoline,or towertotruth,as well as this one if they dont have christ and all they have is knowing the wt is a lie than sure many would become atheist,sadly that happens. if you take away the wt,and you have nothing sure you will believe in nothing,but if you leave the wt and have jesus than you have everything!
steve2, point well taken. Too much of a mental strain to investigate, very
sad.
