I just went there for the first time after reading your opening post. Almost all of the images of people on the Home Page were from African descent.
Is this their new target demographic?

Of course it will work. There is nothing you or ANYONE can do about it. Your CONSCIOUS soul is eternal. It was created that way to fellowship with its eternal Creator. Imagine a best case scenario of being bored in "outer darkness" forever.
Facing this reality FORCES us to deal with HIM.

I understand. My life got worse while I was still in. After leaving it still went downhill. After sorta surrendering to Jesus, and going to a traditional bible-believing church, I totally surrendered to Christ. I just could not do life on my own anymore. I gave it my best shot and in reality it just wasn't enough. It was difficult in admitting that. But that was the turning point.
No more running faster, jumping higher & trying harder. I got born-again - the real deal, & left the rest up to Jesus. Life steadily got better and better, but slowly at first. It's now been 9 years and it still is getting better in every area: personal ethics and morality, found a nice wife - had two kids later in life, family life is awesome, finances, happiness etc.
The difference was a personal relationship with Jesus, not Jehovah.
This has been my experience.

Nope, it has a beginning, no end. The design was needed for an eternal fellowship with God.

The soul / spirit of man is eternal, like its Creator. Not one person on this thread will EVER be able to stop being conscious, no matter how much it is desired.

Take your time. Look around. I go to a bible church. 200 members, traditional music, good teaching. Met an Iranian immigrant young woman there this morning at the service who has been recently attending a KH. Had a nice conversation. I explained how the Watchtower is similar to Islam in that you are dead to your family if you ever leave once you have joined. I explained how my 7 and 9 year old are shunned by my parents, brothers, and extended JW family despite never having even attended the KH.
I also explained how that Jesus is not the Mediator for rank and file JWs, and how that they also reject the New Covenant for "foregiveness of sins" despite Jesus having clearly said so in Mt. 26: 27, 28.
If that is what she wants .... she's free to do so as far as I'm concerned. However, after seeing the look on her face, I expect to see her at church again.
