MY WIFE CAME FROM A FAMILY OF 10 CHILDREN. OF THAT 10, ALL WERE RAISED IN THE WITNESS IDEALOLGY. THERE IS ONE LEFT THAT IS STILL ON THE JW TRAIN, TO: DESTINATION NOWHERE... ONE IS BEING DRAGGED BY THE TRAIN, BUMPING ALONG ON THE RAILROAD TIES, GETTING ALL BEAT UP. THE SADDEST IS THE THIRD PASSENGER, THAT WAS KILLED WHILE WHILE TRYING TO WORK FOR THE RAILROAD OPERATING THE TRAIN. THIS PASSENGER, TRYING TO LIVE ON A SHOE STRING, CUTTING CORNERS,USING OLD EQUIPMENT FOR HIS SELF EMPLOYMENT, SO THAT HE COULD SERVE THE RAILROAD WHERE THE "NEED IS GREAT"-DIED TRAGICALLY AS A RESULT OF THIS SELF EMPLOYMENT! OF COURSE NO "SECULAR, wORLDLY, MATERIALISTIC" LIFE INSURANCE WAS IN PLACE. HE LEFT A YOUNG FAMILY BEHIND IN A BAD WAY FINANCIALLY, ALL FOR THE SACRIFICE OF SERVING WHERE "THE NEED WAS GREAT". HERE IS THE REAL "CORKER" THE DISFELLOWSHIPPED FATHER OF THE YOUNG MAN, WHO WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TALK TO HIS SON, WAS ASKED TO SIT IN THE BACK AT HIS OWN SON'S FUNERAL, AND THEN GET THIS....SINCE THE THERE WAS NO MONEY TO PAY THE FUNERAL HOME, THE FATHER AND TWO BROTHERS OF THE DECEASED (NOT WITNESSES EITHER, AND TREATED AS OUTCASTS) WERE ASKED TO PAY THE FUNERAL HOME FOR THE EXPENSES FOR THE PRESENTATION, AND DISPOSAL OF THE DECEASED. THE FATHER AND TWO BROTHERS PONYED UP THE MONEY, AND PAID THE BILL. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? WHEN YOUNG ONES AND EVEN OLDER ONES IN THE CONGREGATION HAPPEN TO SEE THIS KIND OF INSANITY FIRST HAND, IS IT ANY WONDER THAT SO MANY ARE JUST GETTING SICK OF THE WHOLE SITUATION ON THE WATCHTOWER EXPRESS TO NOWHERE? THEY CHOOSE TO GET OFF THE TRAIN, AND USUALLY STAY OFF. ALL THE MEETING ATTENDANCE, PERSONAL STUDY, AND FIELD SERVICE, IF DONE TO THE "REQUIRED AND ACCEPTABLE LEVEL" IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE RESULTING DYSFUNCTION, AND EXODUS BY THE PASSENGERS FROM THE TRAIN. ANYWAY, THAT IS A LONG, LONG, STORY TO SAY THAT 7 OUT OF 10 CHILDREN IN MY WIFES FAMILY LEFT THE ORGANIZATION. [email protected]

JW Kids Leave the Organization: Facts
by Maximus inthe october 1 watchtower 2001 features articles on training children "properly" and dealing with a "prodigal child.
the latest inside u.s. figures reveal that 86% of jw children leave the fold, with some 29% who eventually come back for reasons of family ties, most never "reaching out.
" that means over half leave permanently.
