    I don't want to kill the organization. It would be more fun to watch it destroy itself.

    That's a good idea, but I don't think that its going to happen. Their propaganda will always save them from self-destructing.

    Since the Watchtower Society is just as guilty of harming its people as Union Carbide was guilty of killing so people in that town in India.

    When anyone causes such massive death, broken lives and misery, justice demands that someone be held accountable. An individual would be sentenced to prison, a for profit company should pay damages and the non prophet Watchtower Bible and Tract Society should be dissolved.

    I Actually look down on them (JW"s) and I don't let them make me feel like they are better than me, because I know they are not.

    I would like the gb to feel ,i mean really feel the pain they have inflicted on so many and to loose all their assests and money . That would just about take care of the org killing itself. If i could kill the org, yes i would with out the blink of an eye.

    Actually, I thought they were the ones who wanted to kill us at armageddon... The "eye for an eye" concept works for me.

    A methodical dismantling of the hypocricy would be nice. People are happier if they are not living a lie. It is painful watching faithful members drag through the motions, waiting, waiting for their beloved leadership to wake up. To come clean would hurt their income and membership, but it would be far more ethical. Can it be done? Sure, the World Wide Church of God did it.

    In my opinion, the WWCG leadership has shown far more courage than the WTBTS.

    reading these posts I wonder if we are all getting a little one sided in our feelings of the org. When you spend all day on a message board made up of people who have been hurt by them you forget that the vast majority of JW's don't have the same issues we do (or at least they don't bother them to the extent that they bother us). Even if their growth rate is going down they still pull in a lot more people then they let go. That's saying quite a bit considering their unbeleivably strict membership standards. Us so-called apostates are quite a small minority by comparison.

    Also you have to admit that as far as cults go the JW's aren't that bad. I would much rather have my daughters grow up door knocking than join the Branch Dividians or the Nation of Islam. So if the org is destroyed there is a danger that the former members would just roll over to other more destructive cults to fill the void. (I almost joined the Socialist Workers Party a couple years after I left.)

    Sorry, What_Truth, I must disagree.

    the vast majority of JW's don't have the same issues we do (or at least they don't bother them to the extent that they bother us).

    ...and the vast majority of those JW's non-witness relatives continue to mourn the loss of relationships. I bet there are more than six million people who would be happy if the organization were gone.

    What sort of help does the society provide those with addition problems, mental illness problems? I know a lady who had befriended a JW gal who was heavily in to drugs. She asked a friend of mine how best to help the girl. Should she tell the parents, the church? My friend and I both agreed that there is NO WAY, the organization or the parents should be informed. Bringing such a problem to light would cut that poor girl off from the only family she knew. What kind of organization can it be if it is safer NOT to tell of any problems?

    When I visit the hall, I see a bunch of trapped people, in a cage of their own making. Maybe five out of forty would be better off in that prison. I am not an ex-JW, I am married to one, so I am daily exposed to how this manipulative society messes with people's dreams.

    How many would leave if they could? If the WWCG model is any example, at least two-thirds.
