  Agreed. What sort of parent threatens to kill his kid for disobeying? When it happens in some of those Muslim communities the world is outraged. Yet God says he will do the same and believers be like, "serves them right!"

  Well I agree with you VG, even though I am not a believer per se. The words attributed to Jesus in the gospels specifically speak out against giving titles and big noting oneself, seeking glory from men. Jesus promoted a humble religion where all were to be equal with no-one having titles , and a lot of believers have lost sight of this fact. Organised religion cannot function without titles and hierarchy, yet these are the very things Jesus told his followers not to do. One could then reason that Jesus was not advocating an organised religion, but a peaceful life of good works and private spirituality.

  It usually takes a few years for it to sink in and for a jw to wake up after some change like the generation thing or disappointment like 1975. I believe there won't be a mass exodus but a stream of people leaving in about 2020.

  Humans love to stratify themselves for good or for bad. The more titles you need the more of an insecure power grabbing twat you must be.

  I'd have a literature corner for ex jws to put poetry, biographies, short stories and that and an art corner for members to display original works.
