I am looking for things I can say in passing, when I meet some of my JW friends. We used to attend meetings, but have not been officially recognized yet, as apostates. We were good and curious students, but fell away and were choked out by weeds.
Since i will be renewing my bible student status soon, I am hoping this will open more windows into the organization. I hope to use this opportunity to attempt to turn on some light switches in there.
Do you have any ideas for simple questions I can ask, with sincerity, that might cause someone I know or meet, to start thinking critically?
I am not looking to be a smart aleck, but my husband is one who enjoys "stumping" people. He used to love doing that with the JW's, especially...
I've also had a few people ask me this very question:
How do I help my friend? What do I say?
I live in a smallish community, with an active JW population. It seems that about half the people I know, have a JW that has touched their lives. I know I'm getting my hopes too high, but this new light seems like a beacon to me... A spotlight, before the next warning, and the air raid sirens going off... Time is running short for these victims.
