Good day to all!
In my "home" congregation where I grew up, there were about 12 other "young ones" who went to the Khall until they were 18. Most migrated to other parts of the country, or simple just left and got married, or continued with their own lives. I'm so happy for them!
However, one of them has been made to feel guilty and has resumed Khall attendance due to pressure...he's also in his 20's like me. He and I went school together and were close friends, he never got baptized thankfully. At 18, he stopped attending Khall, but he called to let me know that he's been going back for the past few weeks and that an elder wants to study with him!
During our conversation, i could realize he feels pressured to go back. We have a very close friendship and are always opened and honest towards each other. So I asked him if he's sure that's something he wants to do. He expressed some doubts pertaining to the histrory of the religion and also the dates (1914, 1975, 1919 ect). I then expounded to him about TTATT and even emailed him documents about the Riley Trust and about the "new light" coming out in the July watchtower.
He thanked me for all the information I gave to him and promised to keep the info that I gave to him private.
I hope this will help him remain out of the cult! Any other suggestions folks?
