i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .

Fear mongering (or scaremongering) is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end. The feared object or subject is sometimes exaggerated, and the pattern of fear mongering is usually one of repetition , in order to continuously reinforce the intended effects of this tactic, sometimes in the form of a vicious circle .
the wt literature implies who the faithful slave class is, but has any member of the governing body ever said in print or publicly during a convention talk- "i am one of the f&ds class?".
suppose you see someone in a uniform that looks, uh, police-like, are they real police officers, security officers or just a singer in a music group.
until you see their badge and id card, you don't know.

I have started watching this series and it makes you realize Jdubs are not so unique in being cuckoo.

Two Ladies Talking in Heaven
> 1st woman: Hi! Wanda..
>
> 2nd woman: Hi! Sylvia. How'd you die?
>
> 1st woman: I froze to death.
>
> 2nd woman: How horrible!
>
> 1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you?
>
> 2nd woman: I died of a massive heart attack. I suspected that my husband was cheating, so I came home early to catch him in the act. But instead, I found him all by himself in the den watching TV.
>
> 1st woman: So, what happened?
>
> 2nd woman: I was so sure there was another woman there somewhere that I started running all over the house looking. I ran up into the attic and searched, and down into the basement. Then I went through every closet and checked under all the beds. I kept this up until I had looked everywhere, and finally I became so exhausted that I just keeled over with a heart attack and died.
>
> 1st woman: Too bad you didn't look in the freezer---we'd both still be alive.
