i actually wrote this post in response to a poster recently dealing with the 'defeating' of the wts.. i have started a new topic with the post as i would like to hear opinions of what xjw's and others view as a 'defeated' watchtower.. "i am not quite sure what we all want from the wts.

what does a person mean by 'defeating' the watchtower?.

destroying it, selling its buildings, giving the cash back to the people who bought them?

still feeling the guilt.. why?.

i havent done enought.. but i feel my hands are tied.. i could write to friends, call them go to the hall and make a speech,or go to assembly grounds, hand out leaflets.. but if i do any of that i will be disfellowshipped.. then no one will talk to me even my family will have problems.. but if i don't do something now what good is my current standing with the witnesses, whats the point in being able to talk to them if i don't use it to any effect?.

do i just sod it all ,write a load of letters , even go to the hall i put my hand up and say what i really think?.

i had no intention to change my life, though i knew it wasn't the truth.

my father said to me "i know its the truth but i can't live it" i told him " i know its not,the truth!

but i can" {he was dfed in 1961} i wasn't ready to lose all my family & friends to live a differt life, besides i thought i had a pretty good life, why change it, a great wife, 2 amazing kids, lots of wonderful friends, a good job {many of my clients j.ws} besides i thought maybe i could help some of them to see the world a little differently.
