To me a statue is just a symbol or reflection of history, what is happening today in are lives is what people should be more focused about.

Removing Historic Monuments and Statues - Does the Term "Historical" Make it Right or Wrong?
by RubaDub inafter further review and thought, i really don't see how removing a monument or statue that may be truly offensive to a large group of people is in some way rewriting history.. i think of germany or other parts of europe.
you don't see swastikas on buildings or statues of hitler or mussolini or other upper level generals in public.
would it be good for a person (think jewish) to drive around a city and see hitler in a public park, even though it is "historical?

The WTS pushes governments for religoius freedom but then when one of their members decides to leave the organization for another they propagate that individual doesn't have the right to choose, demonizing these people as evil traitors base upon their own personal freedom to choose and decide.
Due to this repulsion/shunning millions of families have been broken apart, all instigated and enforced by the WTS.

new situation in world helpful to org?
by Magnum insometimes new situations can provide cover for one’s mistakes or intentions.
for example, suppose that i crack the windshield in my dad’s car one night.
i go home, park the car in its usual spot in the yard, and go to bed without telling my dad because i’m scared and i’m trying to think of a way out of the situation.

The WTS/JWorg acts like an illusionist all at the ready to fool, to instill fear and deceive people by propagating select information, one might call it a controlling Kingdom of propaganda.

There is no practical way to exercise power and control over adherents in an "e-religion".
Well said

Slowly stop going to meetings , if asked why just calmly reply your having second thoughts about the religion in general. AND YOU WISH TO KEEP THE REASONS PRIVATE WITHIN YOURSELF,
DO NOT GO INTO SPECIFIC DETAILS FROM A THEOLOGICAL VIEWPOINT WITH ANYONE , PARTICULARLY WITH AN ELDER !!!!!!!!!

Brutality
by Anna Marina inwt says jesus became invisibly present in 1914. what a load of old rubbish.
but they are not the only ones.. in 1927 a woman called helen keller wrote a book called my religion.
her book advocates the teachings of emanuel swedenborg who claimed that jesus had already returned.

The endeavour of creating supportive followers for own expressed ideology is empowering is it not ? , it could actually become financially rewarding such as in literature proliferation and publishing.

Things that you may see and experience once you get involved with the JWS
by Finkelstein inthere are numerous experiences you might see once getting involved with the jws.. things that come to mind are as follows ........... getting lied to by dishonest men (gb) running an unregulated religoius publishing house.
(wts).
these men created an apostate (commercialized) version of the gospel of jesus and the new to come kingdom order, many from both inside and outside of the organization are starting to realize that .. your mostly likely are getting to be pressured and quilted into spreading about the wts's literature to the public in hours of service as they describe it, with all the attached false doctrines this organization's top leaders make.. you will be closely monitored by congregation elders to how you dress, the length of you hair your attendance, who you are associating with, what are you doing in your private social life etc.. you will most likely going to hear about people who were somehow associated with the organization have committed suicide.

True Vid like education centers, governments, people, other religiously minded people, you may have to shun and abandon your own family members if they stop being a member .
This is Satan's worldly system of things after all so expressing repulsion is a sign of expressed loyalty to Jehovah and his earthly organization.
