Does it sound like a "cop out" when...
by Coffee House Girl inone of my really good jw friends (which now means he can no longer be my friend) came into the shop i work in today with two other jw's to buy some guitar strings and things- i could tell he was uncomfortable walking in the shop (he hesitated at the door) and i was on the phone so i couldn't wait on them personally so all i could think of to do is make a smart ass comment about his hair cut.. they made their purchase & walked out we smiled and waved to each other.. he obviously did not buy anything and they all know where i work, so he just came in to check me out (not in a flirty way).. he has always been a bit on the "edge" when it comes to jw practices (watches r rated movies, listens to "bad" music, drinks, and he does text me occasionally to talk about music and un-jw related subjects).
should i have tried to reach him with the truth about the truth?.
i ponder this question lately with some of my loved ones so i will ask you all........ if i could be reached by talking rationally with me to look further into the religion i was blindly following- should i try reaching someone i care about?.

"Conformity"
by inkling ini am not presenting this as directly relevant, or with an specific angle on the jw issue, so much as just on it's own merits as a really great take on phenomenon of social conformity:.

"we can be self defeating in our conformity: say we have a group of people holding opinion x. unbeknownst to the group, half of them secretly disagree.
