In due time I am certain that for each one of you that leaves the borg, more Active JW's leave than any of them can recruit.

The ORG knows this well and that is why they are bearing down SO HARD on the remaining members. They know that for each one that leaves, in time, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more will end up leaving in the months and years to come. This is a harsh reality for them, as for each of the other 2, 3, 4, 5 or more another 2, 3, 4, 5 or more will follow each of them those too. This means exponential numbers of defectors whithin a few years only....1 leaves, then say 4 others follow in time, well the next step is another 16 for the last four and 64 for those...this is a flood of biblical proportions in the making.

So, they have to recruit massively, reduce minimal requirements, reduce study time and bear down on active members to keep the flood from happening. Except, it is a risky strategy as less endoctrinated recruits are easier to sway, so UNWITNESSING to all the JW that we meet IS effective and as well, the extra pressure on active members can and does backfire as the restrictions become too strong for even the strong ones to bear.

PLUS, society at large is taking notice. Youtube has thousand upon thousand of video testimonials ( I think those are crucially important ammunition to fight back) which are making the world aware and beware; decreasing the potential recruit candidates further more. It also increases the chances of an active member seeing or meeting an EX JW at work, in school or some other place where they will not be able to dismiss this person and seeing them reconnecting family ties and moving on is a powerful anti-motivator.

There is hope and the best indicator is to read the WT information out there; they are DESPERATE, they publish DESPERATE articles and they can't do a damn thing to regain control.

As to the existence of a "creator" I say we are all agnostics as a matter of epistemology, Whether you are an atheist, or the Pope. Some people claim to know, and that is fine for them. But why should I believe that they saw what they claim, or that they believe what they say they saw?  I saw nothing and they have shown me nothing _  SE7EN  2012

Because Jehovah's Witnesses believe as little in psychology as they do in philosophy, it tames or numbs the wilderness of the heart by closing valves of inquiry." _Barbara Grizzuti Harrison.
