Chances are, that even if The Watchtower organization goes belly up, the majority of those left behind will flock to some up-and-coming cult leader with grandiose promises. They are desparate to believe in something, especially after giving up so much of their life for it.

Is the FDS losing control?
by Hermano ini believe there is growing unrest amongst jws.
they may not be very cohesive or organized, but the rigorous demands for obedience coming from the leadership and the unbending, never ending list of rules, not to mention the end that has been ever so-close for so long yet never climaxes, has a lot of jws frustrated.. don't get me wrong.
i know there are some jws that will hang in there no matter what they're told to do and will obey without question.

German court rules religious circumcision on boys an assault
by mind blown inwonder how jw germans get around the blood/issue doctrine?.
http://news.yahoo.com/german-court-outlaws-religious-circumcision-172728400.html.
circumcising young boys on religious grounds amounts to grievous bodily harm, a german court ruled tuesday in a landmark decision that the jewish community said trampled on parents' religious rights.. the regional court in cologne, western germany, ruled that the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed thefundamental rights of the parents", a judgement that is expected to set a legal precedent.. "the religious freedom of the parents and their right to educate their child would not be unacceptably compromised, if they were obliged to wait until the child could himself decide to becircumcised," the court added.. the case was brought against a doctor in cologne who had circumcised a four-year-old muslim boy on his parents' wishes.. a few days after the operation, his parents took him to hospital as he was bleeding heavily.

Also, my experiences in locker rooms never involved talking about dicks with other guys, Nathan. I think the concern isn't well-founded.

When there are hundreds of thousands of toys in the market, why buy your your child the magic toy

Also, this reminds me of the meat from animals sacrificed to idols. Paul said that people should stop freaking out about it, and let bygones be bygones.
Maybe Jehovah's Witnesses should focus on things that matter, like love and charity, instead of trying to find stupid rules and technicalities to make life hard on each other.
If Jehovah exists, and he cares about magic toys, he is a petty asshole, and so are you.

What about "Magic" Markers, Mr. Facts? Do you approve of those?
