This is just a question that I will ask for the ex-JW's in this forum.
Personally I did apologize to my friends in personal, for trying to convert them to JW's.It was a great experience!!! I told them I was wrong and I was misleaded by a banch of false prophets, and I was really sorry that I tried to convert them to JW's. All of them they were suprised but they were happy...
Yes I did. I apologized to one of my Bible Students, my first. She's a smart one and has mentally moved on. I have several others I don't know their status, but I hope they are out and I hope to be able to tell them at some point my feelings. There are a few others through the years that I told I was wrong and I was nuts. All I can say is they were shocked, seemed confused, with the "troof" no longer being the center of discussions.
I have apologised to my wife and son.
I haven't had the opportunity to apologise to my daughter, but she does know that I am an extreme doubter. I doubt that she will willingly give me the opportunity to apologise.
As far as I know, it is only my immediate family that I have led into the Borg. It is not for me to apologise to their converts, but I will if I get the opportunity. (and they know it)
Cheers

Yep - one person. The situation turned out very well - here I am. :)
I never brought anyone into the cult.
Dude, my reply ended up in the totally wrong thread... not sure how that happened. Sorry to interupt ;)

Yes.
I apologised to my sons for bringing them up in a cult.
They took it very well and were so pleased to see me (a hard-liner) finally see this religion for what it is.
Naw, people make their own decisions. Who am I to say they are worse off being JWs? I am who I am today partly because of having been a JW. I wouldnt change who I am for the world. If they are worse off they should leave. No harm no foul.
Now I have apologized for some of the things I did as a JW. Shunning reinstating a child abuser. Not warning people in the congo about a molester that moved in to the congo because of marching orders in a letter about him from the CO Yes... some pretty shitty things to live with myself over having done
All's well that ends well though.
I've appoligized to my children. They rolled their eyes, they don't even think about it.

i need to apologize to my cousin. i did not convert but she did. she does not like to talk spiritual things with me so i have just decided that the next time we talk to apologize to her and leave it at that
Yes!!! I have apologized to SO many!!!! All the family in England. That I had made a special trip over to convert them...( didnt work) All those friends I used to bombared with the "LIE" .three came out of the WT ( Thank God) All my kids ( before a couple died) My Mother who I pretty well had convinced it was truth. then .before she died read Crises of Conscience , & knew it was "the lie"
When I speak in the Churches I always say "If I knocked on YOUR door with my message of doom I am sorry" So I figure that counts too lol
