It is my opinion everyone has the choice to follow JW path if they choose. What angers me is that half the time, people don't realise what they are getting themselves into. My work college had been studying for quite a while. I asked, had they been informed about the practices such as shunning, no blood ect. Yes, that had been discussed. I didn't mention it again. Then last week we were dscussing politics, and I mentioned JWs were not allowed to vote.This was the stumbling block, my college was a union rep, a school govenor, and quite heavily into politics. And yet no one mentioned at any point, that voting was a no no. When my college consulted them as why they did not mention this, they could not answer. As far as I know, my college has had no further contact with them. So I think this counts as my first de-witness, even if they would probaly have left of their own accord in time.
Thought I'd share :) Arte
