Let's face it, if you step away from the organization and open yourself up to information outside the society, you will leave. So, basically, Simon did not have a chance in hell of staying in.

This is a bit of an awakening, as has been most of my time spent here. I now fear that statement is really true for almost anyone. I originally would never thought it could have applied to ME.
I came here via Google when I was stumbled, disillusioned, disturbed, and seeking answers [outside of the WTS Index]. While my personal experiences had already opened my eyes to much, I am now like the proverbial "deer in the headlights".
I realize there are "kooks" here on both sides of the aisle [no names]. There are a good share who need to up their dose on their Prozac or Depakote. But the majority in the middle seem to have gotten here just as I did -- from having the same concerns, disillusionments, injustices, and unanswered questions. Many seem to be like the story of how a Republican becomes a Democrat (liberal). They start out hardshell conservatives while on the "inside" until THEY GET ARRESTED. All of a sudden you begin questioning all the things that were once aboslutes. I regret that I cannot share my story as I do not want to be "outted". Too much at risk. And, I suppose I am still somewhat Desirous of Change...........hoping that something like the statement above will force it to happen.

Without reviewing the link I seem to recall that it was partly BECAUSE OF this site that Simon left the Borg. It was a perfectly good pro-JW board but then the idiots in Brooklyn decided to lean on "independent" JW websites.
I better go click the link to make sure my memory is accurate on this.

Honesty
When people started using their heads for something other than bobbing them up and down every time the faithful and discreet slave was mentioned.
