   $$ He (they) can't William.  He would be disfellowshipped and shunned.  His   
   life would be ruined by the WTS and it's teachings.  He would lose all those   
   JWs he thinks are his friends but truly aren't......  even his marriage   
   could and probably would go down the tubes.  You have no idea how   
   manipulated and tightly controlled the JWs are.

   ## Mark gets it but Mark must beat the WTS drum, and march to the WTS   
   drummer, and keep to the WTS rules and regulations.  Anything else is the   
   dreaded and deadly >>> INDEPENDENT THINKING <<<.

   ##  Excellent!   :-)   
      
   In addition, I notice you keep saying join US, how about

   ## That goes against WTS/GB policy (forget Jesus' teachings) and Mark would   
   never do that - look what he stands to lose.
