1) they begin question .
2) they stop field service.
3) they stop going to kingdumb hall.
When I walk into the kingdumb hall, I see a room mostly full of atheists that parade themselves along as Christians.
They are not Christians, but they just haven't figured that out yet. Their supposed "faith" is nothing more than a belief in the men who run the religion.
Once they see the truth about these men, they suddenly find that they really didn't believe in God after all.
And another godless atheist turns the corner.

on my way home from work today, i saw the modern day pioneers having a grand old time, relaxing in the sun.
two sprawled on one bench and the other two talking up a storm, with their iced cappuccino, just enjoying the day.
the two carts were a number of feet away.
My wife and I were recently down in Bowling Green. We saw the carts there. They stay in their spot in front of the museum because the public restrooms are there. LOL
Gotta pee.

government endorsement of any religious ideology creates religious extremism.
Simon, if you think I am unjustified in my expression above, please note that when I said "some book" I was NOT making reference to the Bible. You are out in left field.
My reference to "some book" was a take from your post.
"if some eedjit reads a book"
Here you try to reason, falsely, that the situation can equal "some eedjit [reading some] a book" in a generalization that does not fit the discussion.
Your comparison is apples and oranges.
Apples from Italy and oranges from Florida by the way.

Simon, we are not just talking about "some book"...
It is a known fact that one's hemoglobin dropping below a certain level is lethal.
JWs choose to stick to a teaching that they know kills. DEAD.
It's not just some ambiguous writings that might be confused in the mind of a person with grey-matter-disease.
This is a teaching, accepted by sane persons, based on a lie, and one that kills.
It's not as if there's two ways to take it.
1) Don't take blood transfusions
2) God demands it
3) It'll kill you.
Your post does NOT reflect the realities.

Acts 20 shows Paul did the same work!
20You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything printed by Watchtower that would be helpful or harmful to you but have taught you with my literature cart publicly beside Tim Horton and from sidewalk to park bench. 21I have declared to both Jews and Muslims that they must turn to Watchtower in repentance and have faith in our Governing Body.

What if I work on my neighbor, tells them all sorts of stuff, like aliens have invaded the neighborhood and they will suck out our brains. And I convince them to drink the koolaid and die to avoid a gruesome death.
And they do it. They kill themselves.
No guilt on my part. They are just suckers, according to some here.

How many JWs, upon discovering Watchtower's secret affiliation with the UN, tore up their Blood Card?
I tore mine up when I discovered it. My wife basically did just that also.
JWs hold certain beliefs, like their stand on blood, because they have been led to believe by the Watchtower that it is correct. But when they find out about the UN thing, for example, their belief is shattered.
It's a simple concept to understand. Their belief on blood is based on the LIE that the GB are "God's mouthpiece". When they learn what "God's mouthpiece" did behind their back, then the beliefs associated with these men dissolve.
How can it be said that the Watchtower has no guilt in this. The Watchtower is a liar and the men who run it are liars. People believe the lies, and they 'die for the lie'.
But it's not a violent death, so teaching people to die and letting them do it on their own, quietly and softly, on a hospital gurney, is not extremist.
OK. I got it. Thanks people for all the help.
I will feel better the next time I am visiting a dying dub at hospital who is refusing life-saving treatment based on religious lies. When I see them struggling to understand the confusing doctrine, right up to their dying moment, I will be able to take comfort in knowing that Watchtower is not extremist.
I will also find comfort in the brothers from the blood team who have been hovering like vultures making sure that no blood comes there and that the dub died faithful to the lie.

What do you think?
A guy blasts into a convenience store and robs it, he gets $300
In the process, he shoots a customer and the customer dies.
Another man defrauds investors of $300M
In the process, he takes the life savings of tens of thousands of people. A dozen commit suicide.
Please contrast them for me.
The convenience store robber gets life.
The fraudster walks free.
Is white collar crime okay?
An extremist walks into a busy place and shoots a dozen people. Very bad.
The Watchtower manipulates people by managing their superstitious. They convince them to act in a way that causes death by the thousands.
The extremist gets shot down like a dog by police.
The Watchtower gets a tax break.
Thank God Watchtower is not extremist...
