having watched many jc youtube videos one question that gets asked is "where else would you go?".

in other words if not jehovah's witnesses then what other religion or organisation would you go to?.

it's one that i have trouble answering, what would you say?.

Let's indulge in essentialism for a wee moment, shall we?
Being Christian is being Christ-like.
It is a symbiotic / supernatural alignment of different species of being.
If there truly is an existential reality to God, Christ, and Holy Spirit, we should understand that THEY HOLD ALL THE POWER.
For us to assimilate the personality of Christ is to take on that power individually and enter a relationship for keeps.
Your proximate Location has nothing to do with it. Attitude, gratitude, and noble-minded activity will create an environment others will desire to inhabit. You will become the focal point of a Brotherhood just as did Jesus himself.
Otherwise--this is all just fantasy camp.

Now and again I reconsider what sort of mindset I possessed before I was tampered and molested by the Jehovah's Witness mind rape.
Who would I have become if left alone?
I shall never know nor am I able to imagine.
Whoever that Terry was . . .he was bloody well murdered.
I'm his ghost.

The financial transactions of early WatchTower days are quite interesting and often flabbergasting. You can hunt down these documents online with a little persistence. They make for interesting reading.
For example:

How Human was Charles Taze Russell?

pastor russell's life fascinates me.

because he seems like a person who never had any fun.

such a serious face without a smile to be found!

Rose Ball.
She was a bit older than most people realize. However, Maria felt betrayed by her husband's conduct toward Rose. When the judicial hearing was convened to decide the matter of mental cruelty in the estrangement of the Russell's, Pastor C.T. Russell sent Rose Ball to Australia! Pretty hard to get a process server down under to summon her to testify, eh wot?

If you stop and think about it, a small child is afraid to go to sleep with the light off and the closet door open because it is IMAGINATION he can't cope with. It is FANTASY he can't cope with. It is FICTION he can't cope with because he's been exposed to entertainment horror genres.
Grown up Jehovah's Witnesses are just the opposite. The are actually taught that the WatchTower's fantasy horror version of the Great Tribulation and Armageddon are REALITY.
The videos about THE BUNKER try to make "real" what is pure speculative fantastical religious zealotry.
Consequently . . .
Both little kids and grown up JW's need to sleep with the light on and the closet door closed. (Watch out for demons!)

When am I ever going to learn that people don't like philosophical threads?
