While attempts will no odoubt be made to wear them down, dear Oomp (peace to you!), the bottom line is... where will they all go to work... where they will receive the same benefits and be treated as well if they leave you? I have no doubt that, while some will attempt to pick away at their consciences, MOST will tell them, "Well, so long as you don't associate with him outside of work. Other than that, it's all business and that's okay."
Most of them are probably not your average JW "fool"... and so, they'll follow the money. In doing that, some will also follow you [out]. Eventually. And I don't state that because I have some special "god" knowledge; I state it because I have everyday, ordinary, common knowledge of the human tendency toward self preservation.
Peace to you!
