    They want to ensure that those left in are actually damned. Too many are making enough money to live a decent lifestyle. Too many have computers, listen to real music, watch real TV, take vacation trips without attending the boasting sessions and doing field circus, and are storing up supplies in case of power disruptions and hyperinflation. Many are skipping boasting sessions. Many are doing a poor job in field circus--I have seen plenty of dead time in the form of running around, excessive time warming up or cooling off, deliberations on what to do after a street is finished, what appears to be Chinese fire drills with regard to who is going with who, and lots of coffee breaks. The washtowel wants the jokehovians to stop that--and just do field circus.

    What they are worried about is that some will start enjoying the variation this creates. Late time, sluggish egress, the Chinese fire drill with who is going with who, gas breaks, coffee breaks, and wasted time standing or sitting is better than screeching to the territory and working it through. Working Street B right after Street A is done is more boring than sitting in the car warming up, doing calls, or doing coffee breaks and leaving Street B for another time. And the last thing the washtowel, or joke-hova want, is for people to start using psychic power to get more of those time wasters. And it isn't just the bad luck it brings to the congregation--which I seemed to have been good at bringing. It could allow Satan to work with someone to get them right out, and undermine the effect joke-hova has on them. Ultimately, leading to one less soul for joke-hova to use to damn the whole population to slavery. And one less soul to suffer, which is what joke-hova wants us doing anyways.

    By sneakely taking god's place in their literature and Bible interpretation, this particular cult has a negative effect in people's sense of spirituality and transcendence.

    One of the main differences with other mainstream religions is that the WT does not promote real virtue, as drones are never particularly nice people, and the borg main goal is manipulation, control, real estate and who knows what political agenda.

    They have no remote understanding of concepts like grace, love and justice that are essential in Christianity.

    Christian religions don't need obscure rituals and strange doctrines to keep their members loyal; instead they tend to promote decency, spiritual transcendence, and a more humane society.

    Darwinism produces apes, and not everybody enjoys living under the rule of apes.

    Kaik you are right on the money regarding the biggest threat to the organization. As I have said elsewhere, apathy, not apostasy, will be the organization's " downfall". Indeed, in several western countries JW growth has stagnated, if not dribbled into decrease. Since 1984, for example - which is 30 years ago! - Denmark has hovered round the 13,000 to 14,000 number of active JWs. Thirty years of tredding water - how disheartening that must be for the poor sods out door-knocking! Call that amazing consistency or an appalling ability to grow despite ongoing preaching.

    Yes, you can virtually hound people into not reading apostate literature but you cannot stop them yawning at the arid desert of boring and repetitive doctrines you feed them.
