  Mass defection possible?

  there are many of us who are trapped within the religion and are looking at leaving.

  i was wondering..... if there was an organized and well publicized effort to leave the organization en-masse on a certain date yet to be determined, how many do you think would participate?.

  one person leaves the org and it creates a small ripple.

  One person leaves the org and it creates a small ripple. A family leaves the org and it creates a splash. However if there were many people worldwide who left at the same time it would be a tsunami.

  Just curious

  i think it may be a good time to start writing to other publications with some of the outlandish.

  jw doctrines...higher education is one thing that comes to mind.

  This is a huge opportunity to raise awareness about the organizations false prophecies, policies and practices. I truly hope that there is some news on the Austrailian case filed by Steven Unthank. It seems as if there is momentum building.

  There are many brothers and sisters who will never look at a site such as this, but they will read news articles and the associated comments. Keep up the good work!

  Good point skeeter. I wonder how many of us there would be? What a shockwave it would be if there were 50,000 that decided to leave in the same week.

  "Recognize their right to leave"....without sanctions or shunning?

  Come on Rick can you elaborate.... if I left the organization because of doctrinal differences, would my family be instructed to shun me?

  credit goes to anony mous=http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/members/private/215963/1/ready-to-leak-wikileaks-style=anony mous wrote:=hi,=i have a cache of documents that are direct from the branch.

  they include letters, forms, videos, booklets, instructions on how to handle everything in kingdom hall locally and rbc's financially and otherwise.=includes the branch's instructions on how to write the local incorporations so that all assets go to watchtower inc. and in case that corporation doesn't exist anymore or is no longer tax free, to the governing body (that's what it says!).

  i have them for all states but only going to include ny (since that's where they are located).

  Its a business 00DAD. Religion is just a vehicle for the corp. The standardized plans for halls remind me of a franchise trying to keep a uniform brand.

  Gotta love the instructions on destroying the letters to the BOE.

  I wonder what job on the RBC Jesus would have had? Chairman, CFO, Framing overseer?

  Are we all still FAMILY? Yes or No?

  by Greybeard in

  2. friends

  here is why, even though i no longer agree with most of what the gb/wt/jw's teach, i still feel especially close to all of us who were apart of this group.

  born in or converted.

  we all have had the same life experience of being raised in a over bearing mind controlling cult.
