Has anyone here actually convinced someone out of the truth here?

    I'm talking about even people in their own congregation, or even a simple comment at the meeting that shut people up.

    I think the question is making the presumption that because one event follows the other that the event that followed "caused" the other.

    People often become JW's for the same reasons they leave JW's.

    First step is to stop calling it the truth.

    And yes, I have personally helped two family members come out of the Corporation.

    The "Truth" is the extremely ironic misnomer that JW's use to describe their Cult and its worship of the Cult's Governing Body.

    (The Mormons use the same word for their cult)

    To answer the thread title literally, hundreds of posters on here have convinced countless people to leave the JW/WT Org.

    A vast number who have since left, if not physically , then mentally, have done so by reading the excellent stuff on here.

    We started as merely readers on here for whatever reason, we were "in" then, but we left, because of the good people who post on JWN.

    Personally, I do not know of any sucesses I may have had, I have spoken to a number of JW's and told them about JWFacts.com and this site, so I may have helped some, I do hope so, to be free of the cult is worth more than gold.

    My wife, you could say. We are both inactive now, not been near a Kingdom Hall for 8 months. She's glad not to have to bother any more, so I would not say she took much convincing as such.

    When I was on the Sally Jessie Rhapheal show (TV) I had a person call me
    & say after seeing it, she realized it was not the "truth".So I felt good about that
    But my daughter & G/child is still a JW
