:I have heard numerous individuals who left Jehovah's Witnesses say that if the Watchtower would soften its shunning policy and authoritarian control over members, allowing for Christian
freedom of thought and opinion in doctrinal
matters (as other religions do), then they would not mind reassociating with them.
The truth is that the Watchtower does not have to soften anything. They do not have control over us. We don't want to be like other religions. Other
religions are too soft. That is the problem. We don't want those softies to associate with us because they don't want God's standards.
