If all ''faders'' abruptly left the Watchtower and made no effort to hide the reasons why, what affect, if any, do you think it would make on the congregations?
by ThomasCovenant inwhen you're part of a lovely big group of people who all seem to be happy in their beliefs, it's easier to quell your own doubts.
if i was the only person left in the congregation who still went on the door to door work, because every body else had stopped going , having said out loud what most think, ''it's a waste of time'', how long do you think before i too would cease going door to door?.
i know from my own perspective that having lots of fellow witnesses around me, steered me into making life changing decisions.

BBC News website article mentions JW's failed dates of doom.
by ThomasCovenant inhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-24432491.
it's a line which has proved too tempting for second-guessing believers ever since.
jehovah's witnesses have been accused of having made predictions for 1878, 1881, 1914, 1918, 1925, and 1975 as dates for judgement day.
