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.

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?

As I understand it (numbers vary) when Rutherford, more or less, hijacked the WT after Russell passed. People did not like his authoritarian/dictator approach. Nearly half of the congregation (world wide) broke and went back to re-form the Bible Students religion. In a Russell traditional way.
It's not unprecedented that the WT congressional has been disgruntled and come to an impasse with the leadership and split ways.
