The Watchtower and the Jehovah Witness's are a cult.
They have taken a basis of religion, adopted an orthodox Catholic Bible they hate (long story) and used it to control and manipulate people and destroy families that stray outside their lines.
Am I close?
My thought in this discussion is with the torment caused by one group for their human goals. Survivor is a terrible term. A person is better. But in the midst we have to realize that there are, right now, people and child who are currently going through the same issues.
I am not a JW survivor. I'll be honest.
I have met people that have gone through it, and people that are going through it right now. It is not anarchy.
I hope that some day you can share your experience with people a few steps behind you and help them with next steps.
i think we do best, with a supportive group, and individual attention to specific issues.
I hope you share your experiences with others needing help and understanding

azor:
Maybe put out enough water and the horse may decide by itself to drink when it's thirsty enough. The point being, in this case, there may need to be an alternative.
And yes. A lot of people I have talked to have many great ideas. Subliminal in good. What if a group got together to work on it? A million member alternative to JW. Enough water to make a difference?

xjwsrock: a supporter - yes
I like the idea of a mass exodus - almost Biblical in nature. That's not really what I had in mind. Damage isn't really it - freedom. Freedom for people and more important of an anchor abuse - freedom for families.
I was thinking more of a movement. A little time to gather enough momentum to make a real difference. Bring everyone together. There are so many out there that can unify. Takes time. Needs a leader.

It's not for them.
They do not need to be an activist.
Just a nod for those that are "in" trying to get "out".
In a way it can can be important for those to know there is life on the other side - when they as told there is not, and scared.

Thank you nicolaou. Shaking the branches a little. Glad to hear. Hope you can gather more of the independents to a common goal.

Sabin, Thank you
I am not writing from anger. I made my peace there. I am looking at this very objectively. As a outsider. I see a lot of people complaining about things and terrible things and think there is enough momentum to really make a difference. I simply don't understand why people sit back an take this themselves, and family members, and generations without doing something about it.
I here a lot of I want to I want to I want to - can't. Too hard.

I want to be clear. Russell was a follower of Arius. I may not agree, but that is not the point at all. I think people should be able to believe what ever they want, when they want, and where they want.
When I opened this topic I mentioned I was dating a divorced JW. She was not ALLOWED to even set foot in my church. That is stupid. The JW is so scared of loosing people that they bash other religions as Satan so JW's won't want to leave. Stupid.
The JW might be a reasonable religion if they had an open door policy.

There are ones here who have not seen or talk to their love ones
in years, and the JW members see this. It a horrible organization.

James Mixon: this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. And people allow them to get away with it. Will you help put an end to this?
