The failure of the Watchtower Organization, is obvious to many.

Carl Sagan, a renowned scientist, spoke of it in his book,
Broca's Brain (1979 pgs 332 -333)
"They (JW's) announced that the world had in fact ended in 1914,
and if the rest of us hadn't noticed, that was our lookout.

It is astonishing in the face of such transparent evasions that
this religion has any adherents at all."

"The fact that religions can be so shamelessly dishonest,
so contemptuous of the intelligence of their adherents,
and still flourish does not speak very well for the tough-

As we look around and examine facts & figures about religions,
particularly the jehovah's witnesses ... we seeing a falling away
by the thousands.
It is said for every 3 witnesses who join - 2 leave!
(someone plse correct me if I'm wrong).

On JWN.org we are seeing an ever increasing number
of individuals who leave the organization, mainly for
its false predictions, failed doctrine and lack of sincere
unconditional love. Eyes are opening ever wider!

The people of Jehovah's Witnesses are being tossed to
and fro by their "new light" that keeps blinking on & off.

Most don't even know what they believe anymore.
How could they understand it ..... even the 'leaders'
say, right or wrong, you must follow it!

Those strong gusts of 'truth' blow out hard from Brooklyn,
they huff & they puff with a threat of an armageddon death
for noncompliance of their made up rules, while the people
are starving for some real "food" and some real "love".
>
Disillusioned witnesses are leaving and are finding out
the truth about the truth, they are finding warm friendships,
and freedom from a dishonest, cold & punishing organization
Reminds me of one of Aesops fables ...
is that cold wind stronger than the warm sun?
