Shunning is the glue that holds the Cult together. Without it many would leave or just relax and not do as much as they did before. For those that stay it would most likely divide the congregations into two groups. The so called super strong ones and the so called weak ones. Then it would turn into another kind of Cult. One that not only hates those in the world but also hates one another in the congregation. Still Totally ADD

If shunning were no longer a JW policy, how many would leave the Org?
by HiddenPimo inadditionally - if this shunning rule was removed and everyone was made aware of the dirty secrets of the org.. (e.g.
csa-arc / un membership / malawi - mexico contrast / etc.).
would those leaving be higher?.

In many ways it's same old, same old when it comes to higer ups drinking. When I was a kid we always had D.O's and C.O's stay at my parents house and you should have seen all the booze they drank. The last congregation I left from there was a real problem with a X-C.O. and his wife with drinking. When beer thrity came around every afternoon they had a drink in there hand. Drinking until they could not hold their glass. It's all the Cult gives them so what do you expect. It's not that I am excusing them but a couple of belts everyday keeps them going. Lol.

The wt. Is a doomsday religion. They teach everyone except them is going to be killed by their God. While other religions teach all can be saved and go to heaven, have social programs and have fun holidays. There is nothing fun or social help going on in the borg. Nothing but fear and hate for others who are not them. Still Totally ADD

Einstein On Quantum Mechanics
by Brokeback Watchtower inalbert einstein said "i like to think the moon is there even if i'm not looking at it".. i'm thinking the double slit experiments could have been a major factor in his attitude towards qm.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/double-slit_experiment.

I didn't know being atheist is a religion. I just thought it was a group of people who don't believe in a imaginary friend. Still Totally ADD

Great job. Maybe we should call you Master dubstepped. Master at getting the word out on how bad this cult is. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for helping my son and his fanmily. Still Totally ADD
