Blatant apostates did they ever rescue anyone from the cult?
by Crazyguy inwe have all heard about ones who have left and became seriously opposed.
did they have any success in getting anyone out like thier families or is going full appostate a waste of time when it comes to rescuing family and friend's?

Remember, all we can do is show them the door. They have to walk through it.

Im not opposed to the ole pulling yourself up by the bootstraps mentality but in this case it feels akin to telling a depressed person to stop being depressed. Not particularly helpful or informative -

Doing the Right Thing, Making a Choice (shunning)
by Simon incontinuing a topic that is dear to my heart because of my experience as both a shunner and a shunnee .... some people seem to get very agitated when i talk about the responsibility people have to make the right choices and that despite all the wrongs within the wts, people themselves have a role to play and some personal responsibility for the experience.. notice i said "some" responsibility, not "complete" - this doesn't absolve the wts for the things they do wrong in any way shape or form.
so please don't get argumentative about possible meanings and absolutes - of course the wts has a significant role to play but we need to decide what we're trying to achieve here and why the personal choice is so important.. i'm also not talking about actual crimes that the wts should answer for.
if they cover up child abuse for instance, they absolutely should be reported immediately.

I agree whole heartedly with the premise. Even as a full on believer i just couldnt shun people, family or friends, because of an announcment. I kept it discrete but i just refused. I like the idea of framing it as a personal choice and highlighting the responsibility individuals have in the matter

My mom
by cognac ini was just talking to my mom a few weeks ago.
she said, out of all her kids, i was the only one she didn't have to worry about as far as spirituality.
i always took a stand for jehovah.. she told when all of her kids were little, she gave us the option of not eating birthday cakes in school.

Con darling, we know where this ends up. You cant drop full on knowledge on someone and especially someone indoctrinated for so long.. Im sorry. I really am, but as i just explained to my oldest child today 'this is chess not checkers'. You have to think long term darling. -

Intriguing - but Unsubstantiated!
by The Searcher inaccording to one source on a western european 'apostate' website, the org's plan is to abandon the name "jehovah's witnesses" in the future, and replace it with "worshippers of jehovah.".
http://www.bruderinfo-aktuell.de/index.php/fixnews/#comment-4313 .
the gist of the account appears to be a repeat of rutherford's re-branding and debunking of old predictions made by the previous shower of fakers.

It would be foolish to say it couldnt happen. It most certainly could. Long odds at this point i recon, but then msu beating Michigan was .02%...... Time will tell. -

Mobile Hotspot - JWFACTS.COM - Assembly & Conventions

So sick of the abuse...
by iwasblind ini am still serving as an elder but just hanging in there.
i think their quandry is that they don't see me out in the field, but when they need encouragement and decent prayer they come to me.. i just got off the phone to this poor sister who i have only met twice.
she is not even in my congregation (her sister is).

Thor worshipper here. You did good :) You did what a good should do when entrusted with responsibility: you what you thought was right not what you were told was right.
