LA: This is a supplement to my direct message posted to you above.
No doubt many leave the organization because they seek things in the world prohibited by the organization.
On the other hand, I can say that the vast majority I have met who have left the WTS are among the most stable, serving in various capacities of responsibility over 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 years.
The Society is losing many of its most stable, mature, rational, and long time members due to the reasons I mentioned and many more that I have not mentioned.
I can say that none of these people, myself included, left because we wanted to smoke marijuana, snort cocain, pick up hookers, or steal from our employers. We left because we could not reconcile what was taught and the resulting harm done to those most in need of proper professional care and competant spiritual guidance.
The future of the WTS will depend on whether it ceases its denial and comes to terms with reality, or if it continues its current course in a dysfunctional fantasy-land of Biblical interpretation.
