One evening of Internet research can tell a JW all he needs to know about Judge RutherFraud and his Millions now living will never die, Beth Sarim, Princes, 1975, 1914, etc - they can leave under their own steam anytime they choose.

Amen take care and enjoy yourself!

Moshe,

I once had the expectation that when I shared with JWs what I had found out about the organization, most of them would come out, especially if what I showed them came right out of WT publications.

That didn't happen.

For many, the WT conditioning, fear, guilt, and intimidation tactics are just too strong.

As I've gotten older and hopefully wiser I consider it a success if I'm able to help even one person break free.

I wish I could be a lot more effective, but it is what it is.

Don't let the numbers get you down.

If you help even one person, you have helped one person.

Moshe, I always liked your avatar. I need to post one if I can ever figure out how to do it

Aw, Moshe, I am seriously going to miss you!!!

Your wry wit and biting intellect have always made for interesting and entertaining posts - and thought-provoking ideas.

We may not have always seen eye-to-eye, but I'm really going to miss you... crying dragon

My Jack Benny avatar seemed to be a good fit - I aged into him.

moshe:

The board will miss a good poster such as yourself.

I don't blame you for not wanting to engage newbies in conversation but you do have to feel sorry for them (a little bit) because they are literally up to their necks in quicksand, and everybody cannot just give the religion the finger like you did and walk out. (What about people with businesses and a family to feed? They would have the rug pulled out from under them so fast it would make your head spin. )

Also, like the poster Ding above says, you could show many JWs all the proof you already have against the religion and they just will not accept it. I think a person has to reach a point that they can't take it anymore. This point varies from person to person.

I have no relatives there, so I am not on a personal mission to get anybody out of there. It is enough that I am out. I may be a "fader" but I am still out and who knows if they will make announcements about people like me in the future. If they do it's no loss to me because I had no real friends there anyway.

Good luck to you.
