for those who still believe in god, if local congregations could break away from the watchtower would you consider becoming a witness again.
this would mean no more governing body, circuit overseers, watchtower magazines, and each congregation could have its own "new light".
most of us left because of the control (no college, disfellowsipping) but if the watchtower was out of the picture, all of this would disappear.
I feel about religion as LongHairGal posted.
After finding out the witnesses do not have the true religion I no longer beleive there is a true religion.
So, no I would not go back. What would I gain from doing so?
I always enjoyed the wt magazines & books, they would be gone. There would be nothing there for me.
this site is probably one of the most informative jw sites on the internet.
if you want to keep abreast of the watchtower, this is a great place to find out the latest in jw land.
kudos to simon for keeping it going all these years!!!
This is a very informative site and has helped me a great deal!
enjoy.

thanjk you Suavojr!
it's happened before.
how much crap can any rational human being take before they just snap & walk away disgusted?.
If they lost 75% of publishers they'd still have 2 million which is what there was when I began studying.
if you look closely at the picture on page 15 there seem to be several weird faces!
is this the art dept.
illustrating what jehovah really looks like?
It is weird. There are some other odd looking faces too. I wonder if someone in the art dept did this intentionally and if so why did proofreaders not catch it? Unless they also wanted those creepy faces/beings to be in the picture!
enjoy.

When did a mass exodus take place before?
I began studying in 1976, that year saw a 2% increase.
In 1977 there was a 1% decrease and in 1978 a 1.4% decrease. Then 1979 had an increase of 0.5% and in 1980 an increase of 3.5% with a new all-time peak in pubs.
This was the aftermath of 1975. But there was no "mass exodus."
It will be interesting if 2015-16 bring small decreases. But the new headquarters in 2017 and related hype/exitement could cause another all time peak.
Perhaps there will be small decreases at various times but I think jws will still be around long after I'm gone.
