I've known many good JWs in my life. I agree with most of the posters here, the GB needs to be degraded to common publishers with no control and let the good people in the congregations worship as their conscience tells them. Ken P.
Do you really want to see JWs wiped out?

Yes.
I want to see them turned into birdfood.
I want to move into one or more their luxurious trailer homes.
I am a lover of righteousness.

No, not at all. Just the mind controlling publishing company.

Over the ages, there have been lots of groups with different ideas on end-time prophecy and these groups eventually phase out of existence, even though they don't dissolve immediately when the prophecies fail (they get stronger at that point) but they don't stand the test of time. I assume the same will be true for JWs.
History repeats itself and in a few hundred years nobody on this planet will know what a JW was, but what is bad is there will be others to take their places.

Not really. They may continue to co-exist with all other religious movements.
However, I just want them to reform many of their ways, and to finally admit that they're just another religion trying to do the best with whatever resources they have.
I want them to stop these ridiculous claims that they're the chosen ones.

I agree with "fortyhomey", I'd like to see all religion wiped out. Nothing has divided man, and brought more hardship of every kind than religion.
As far as the JW religion, I personally don't see them as a harmless group, mostly nice people that are overzealous, blah, blah, blah. A person's physical, mental, emotional and especially spiritual wellbeing are at risk in this destructive cult...don't kid yourselves, it's not harmless!!!
Also, great post Purple!!

Well I don't particularly want the organization to cease to exist, but I wouldn't mind. I don't see them as particularly more harmful than other religions.
Although, I don't subscribe to any religion now, religion has done and still does some good in the world. I can't say it offsets the bad, but I sometimes wonder who would have led the civil rights movement in this country, had there been no religious groups and what would have motivated people. Also religious groups run many charities. Of course, there are charities not associated with churches in any way, but the fact is at present, many charitable organizations are run by churches. So I can't subscribe to the idea of wiping out all religion either. I think a large segment of society needs to believe in something higher, whether real or not, in order to be able to function. You wipe out religion and belief, and you might have chaos or you might have to wipe out 80-90% of the world's population. I prefer the present situation to either of those situations.
