I just posted this on another thread, about SlimBoyFat going back:
A few people have wondered how one could post here for so long, act as if you're leaving/fading and then do a 180 and go back. I know a couple of people who are still active and pretending to be faithful dubs, yet are fully awakened to the lie that is "the Truth". What I've noticed is that when they spend so much time associating with those people (JWs), they are still influenced by them, even when they don't truly believe in the doctrine. Their world view can be skewed by their constant indoctrinal talks, meetings, asseblies, etc.
If you're one of those people, there comes a time when you either are going to go crazy, trying to pretend you're something you're not, or you make a change away from the insanity of living a lie. So you have two basic choices: 1. You leave. You finally pull the trigger, cut the cord, break it off, whatever. You take a stand AGAINST the WTS and you move on with your life, chips falling where they may. Or - 2. You give up and you give in. You can't fight em. Your family outnumbers you. They're stronger. They win. You go back and give it your all. It happens.

I think if you have half a brain it probably helps.
But seriously, it depends if people are free to make their own decision or not and everyone has to weight up their own circumstances and family issues.
So, I don't think it's fair to suggest people are dumb for going back. I imagine it's very unpleasant having to live a lie in order to keep family contacts.

Not to mention disgustingly judgemental, Simon.

I really think SBF, if he has gone back, has done so for family reasons. Once you have woken up there could be no other reason.

Observational not judgemental.

I guess some people love the truth more than "The Truth".
Some love their family more than the truth.

Imgine how hard it must be to have half a brain and yet be forced back via threats and emotional family blackmail from a local member of the Brooklyn Enforcers (elders).
