Gill, you're a good soul to be concerned for this family. You certainly don't owe them anything. I know it would weigh on my conscience if the kids were sucked in.
So, please, just do it for the children. You've got nothing to lose, their future is already threatened.
I wouldn't contact the 15-year-old directly, but mail apostate literature with websites to the parents, and let the chips fall where they may.
Best wishes in your "life saving" work!

Is it wise to wake someone sleepwalking into the Watchtower trap?
by Gill inis there a time not to speak out?.
is there a time when it might be better not to say something and put doubts into someone's mind?.
we, as a family are 'faded' for well over five years now.

It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people.
They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them!

Victim tied up and robbed in apartment
By TaMaryn Waters
DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER
The Tallahassee Police are looking for two men in connection with a home robbery this morning in the the 400 block of Conradi Street.
Lt. Ken Bergstrom said two well-dressed men knock on the door of a 23-year-old man's apartment around 11 a.m. They pretended to be Jehovah's Witnesses, and they said they were going to church, one carrying a Bible.
The victim said he was getting ready for church and that's when the two men barged in the apartment, according to Bergstrom.
They tied the victim up with video-gaming system cord, and took an undisclosed amount of cash from the victim before fleeing.

How timely! The February 2007 Awake is titled: Is Religion Losing Its Influence? with a pic of a church of Christendom sinking in brownish muck.
It's a bashfest on the "supermarketing of religion."
This is interfaith "fornication." No part of the world, eh?

Getting the lead out
by mann377 ini was talking to new boy the other day and mentioned that i had a collection of lead plates that printed some of the magazines back in the '70's so he thought it would be interesting to post a picture of one.
they make great paper weights and conversation starters for those that come into my office.

Sure.... We've all been warned about stuff like this... Those wily apostates, what will they scheme up next?
They Photoshop the magazines, you know. They steal WT Library CD's and change all the words around... Put vicious lies in. "Beware the voice of strangers," the Society says, and we should heed such fine counsel with good reason.
Obviously a fake. You're not fooling me, O'Poser!
(No, seriously, I collect old printing plates and lead type, too. Scarce in this digital age. Appreciate the pic!).

they are running care homes now
by tanzania ini must be very late learning these even existed but my parents in law seem to be considering going into a jw care home.
i haven't been inside a kh for years and the thought makes me sick so i have tried to put everything jw out of mind and somehow i missed that there were official jw old people's homes.
i've looked up on their website and these really do seem to be official -they seem to have been open in england for 17 years.
