might be useful for me to allign myself with JWs with whom I agree on their anti-war stance
You should be OK:

Question: Would you go to prison or would you agree to perform "alternative civilian service"?
Slim, you don't need to align yourself with any group to be a conscientious objector - it is a personal decision.
Maybe but if we have a major international conflict it could be useful to have a group to associate with who also oppose war. Who knows how rough the world situation might become in the future? I am not sure I am ready to join Marxist revolutionaries, yet.

Stay
If Titus stays, there is a chance he can become un-indoctrinated.
If he goes away, likely he is stuck in the cult.
I understand he agrees that all the chronology is BS. What I would like to ask next is - does he agree with their notion that every non-witness on earth will be killed by their god at the battle of Armageddon?
Further, does he still believe that the bible really says that only 144,000 will go to heaven? (which it manifestly does not)
Question: Would you go to prison or would you agree to perform "alternative civilian service"?
I am not sure. I would help sick people if that was an option but I would not help to build bombs.
I really think we need a radical revolution though, not wait around for nation states to make yet more mistakes. Maybe JWs can play some part in that. Instead of being an instrument of American cultural imperialism and global capital, if their efforts and resources could be marshalled in the service of bringing about a new system.

That would explain why your a "Pain in the Ass"..

You're very funny and I enjoy your take on things. We all balance each other around here. No need for anyone to leave.

maybe some of us started with the 3 percent of the doubt also.
You have some great posts
Cult Classic said No need for anyone to leave.
I say that's true with one exception - Debator, he / she is an ass.
