	His whole world of information is filtered through different premises than the ones you hold. For him, Jehovah is almighty, all loving, and all knowing. The Bible is his inerrant word. And the Watchtower is the earthly expression of his will. So no matter what logic, reason, or facts you may bring to the table, if any of it contradicts his accepted premises, you'll get nowhere. It seems that a person has to be "ready" to understand they are in a cult before they can leave. I put ready in quotes since I've yet to see anyone put forth a good theory on how to tell when a person is ready, or how to assist them into that state. I will warn you that if your intent is to keep him, you don't want to let yourself get cast in the role of an "opposer". If you -- even subtley -- suggest that it's "Jehovah or me", he'll pick Jehovah. Good luck! Dave
