Since most of these people were predisposed to following a stupid cult, they will find another.
very, very true.
i was just reading on another thread--and came across the idea that the wt soc is dying.
oh--i wish--but lets be realistic--not very likely.. .
then the thought occurrs--if the wt soc did collapse--died--just became part of history----.

If I got DF'd, i would look them in the eye and sing, "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant." And then walk out.
i wonder, has it ever happened that someone changed their mind about getting baptised after answering yes to the two baptismal questions?.
if they answered yes, but didn't get baptised, would they still be liable to get disfellowshipped?.
just curious because i remember having serious second thoughts on the way to get baptised and now i wonder if it would have made any difference.. i guess even if a person in that position couldn't technically be disfellowshipped they would nevertheless become nototious and likely shunned in any case..
Not sure, but I remember I had this really cool friend who was a badass and my dad (an elder) studied with him. Dude "progressed" (i hate that term) all the way and did the questions, was scheduled to get dipped at the next CA. Except that morning, he never showed up LIKE A BOSS. haha GANGSTA. me and my ex-JW relatives who knew him still raise our glasses to that frapjous day.
It's crap like this that seals the deal for me that this is a delusional cult. Someone close to me was a victim of this kind of abuse and I spent a lot of time reading books written by therapist who specialize in the treatment of these victims. And it doesn't matter if the abuse happened 30 minutes ago or 30 years ago, the wounds are HORRIBLE. It is a horrific crime that is on it's own level of depravity. If some douchebag elder or MS managed to hide his crime and even rise through the WT ranks and then is exposed (with credible evidence) then HE HAS TO BE REMOVED. even if the statue of limitations has expired and they can't prosecute him, the least they could do is REMOVE him from a position of oversight. The fact that he would be allowed to continue to serve and even have his name protected from some form of watch list is a sheer madness.
BTW, if a elder or MS is found to have committed this crime years ago, is there any attempt to try to help the victim? or are they just written off?
SHAMEFUL.

some of the most "spiritual" people in history didn't even believe in Jesus. So what's that tell you?
