Below is a quote from a recent thread at the Channel C Forum that caught my attention. It llustrates how the Exit Strategy for some awakened JWs must include a religious alternative. This particular individual is particularly concerned that JW children will become godless, upon learning that WT is not the only true religion.
---------------------------------------------
What becomes of the sister or brother with small children or teens, one who has spent their lives as publishers, what becomes of them after they read COC and believe it? A better question is what becomes of their children's faith after their mother or father joins the exJW community?
How many of these friends, these parents, are able to start what has become the proverbial answer to fellowship in the Christian exJW community, a home study group with friends and neighbors? It is almost laughable. Those proverbial home study groups for former Witnesses, for most exJWs, work only when there is a strong and well founded Christian in the home. For most it is a sad unattainable myth.
Unless there is a strong Christian in the household who, contrary to popular exJW opinion, is a strong Christian from the first step out the gate of JWism, the family will fail. It takes years for the parents to come to terms with the death of their religion. Years that will not wait for their children. The child grows and sees and learns and does not always wait for Mom and Dad to understand. No, they come to their own conclusions and those conclusions are for many exJW children and teens anti-religion, anti-Bible and eventually anti-God.
Yes, imo, it is better for a young publisher to remain in a faulty Christian religion than to lose all faith in God. Every Christian religion has faults, the ancient Jews had their own sinful religious leaders to contend with, as did the first century Christians. Is some truth about any Christian religion worth the spiritual death of so many young ones? No, I do not believe so! Let the Catholic young continue to believe in the Trinity if the alternative is loss of faith in God. Let the Baptists continue to believe in Biblical inerrancy if the alternative is loss of faith in God.
It is easier to adjust a believer's wrong beliefs than to claim a young agnostic/atheist from his dark place. Much easier!
Jesus did not send us to correct and leave but rather to correct and save. Too many young have been left to find their own way in the darkness, this is not Christian. And this is why I have returned to the Witnesses.
