The rank and file are kept so busy, (physically and mentally), that they have no time or inclination to absorb any information other than what is presented to them on a silver platter by the GB.
Information is the key. I believe most JW's are intelligent enough to grasp the facts. They just need to have access to them and a little "me-time" to absorb the implications of those facts.
That was all I needed. The facts and time to analyse them.
The thing that had the most effect on me, was seeing the real origins of the organization and realizing the implications of that on the religion that it has become. I mean seriously : a handful of elderly men (no women), all of them American, hold the fate of, not just each individual JW, but the entire world in their hands?? Could their viewpoints, opinions, policies, thought-processes be any narrower? I think not.
Easy access to the internet is helping to get the facts out there. How do you give individual JW's the time to sort out the info? I'm not sure.
