EDENONE: the thing that needs to be done first is to deconstruct the MYTH that this organization and its leadership is - or ever was - "spirit-directed".
JWFACTS: I would say the vast majority are just hanging on, and have their doubts. A doctrinal debate will not get them to leave, but it will leave food for thought, so when a situation arises, that final emotional straw, they will already know that they doctrine are not water tight.
Those two statements sum up exactly how I discovered TTATT, tho in opposite order. It was actually a Bible student who planted the doctrinal doubts. I was comfortable "waiting for Jehovah" to resolve the issues. BUt then when a situation in which I was personall involved, clearly removed the veil of "spirit-direction" at the local level, circuit level, district level and all the way to the US Branch, that was it. No God involvement there. Good-ole-boy politics. Nepotism. Simony. Once you come to realize that is the case, everything tumbles crumbles and falls.
