It sure is nice waking up to all this cheer! How did all these "apostates" help? They were friendly. That's it. About patience. I am not passive in my patience and I have been sharply critical of the Society on occasion. I liken the way to nudge a person to a new way of thinking as docking an ocean liner. Strategic nudges in the right places. If it has taken twelve years, I have made some false moves, along the way, LOL.
Thinking books won't help my guy. He's a natural hedonist. I will keep him exposed to the world and he will do the rest.
I have a new idea from all your comments. I will regularly ask him for his opinion on various issues and let him drift away from the current teachings.
