this was a question i can remember asking as a child. I never got a satisfatory answer ( you think that might have set alarum bells ringing but there you are) the answer i got was " apostates belive werid things... they are out to destory your faith!" Which didn't seem to make too much sense
For any lurkers here asking the same question, here is the real answer... Apostates never go back, because they have found out that its all false! And why would you go back to somthing thats false???!
Once you know the truth about the org you can not un-know it.
Some of us semi-apologists never left the truth.
Some have gone back not because they believed but to have closer contact with family. At least 2 past posters on JWD have.
Isa is right! once Pandora is out of that box you can't put her back in.
How could one in good conscience ever go back knowing about the unbiblical unscholarly work, the scandals, the ruined families, the pedophile problem, shunning, etc.... how could anyone go back to that? I understand the ones who must for family but usually they don't go back to being a full blown believer, as far as I have seen on the boards at any rate.
enlightenment, truth is power!
I tried on a couple of occasions, but the truth about what I knew was too powerful. Even my family wasn't enough to get me to stay.
Also I believe the work we do with aides like this forum is really a life saving work, with the blood ban still in force and the potential that young lives are being lost as we speak
I do believe I said that these 2 went back not because they believed the WTS crap.
Blondie, yes I can see that scenario happen.
