"If I don't agree with the WTBS view of things, what benifit do I get by leaving? Why should I leave and loose all my family and friends? It seems like a lose-lose position."
When slaves were freed in this country some chose to stay behind and continue to work for their respective masters (albeit former masters). Why? Probably because there was a certain "comfort" level there - a familiarity, if we can call it that. Those that left the plantations often left behind family and friends in the pursuit of freedom and independence. So, yes it can be very lonely - at first.
