Ideas on how to break the news to my old best friend that I do not believe anymore
by life is to short in
1. watchtower
2. child-abuse
ok i hope i do not regret posting this but here it goes.. i was at bethel and met this sister, i worked with her and we became best friends.

i never had a true family as my parents were abusive and i never fit in with any of the sisters when i pioneered all the sister hated me and let me know it very clearly.

i never had any friends in the truth before her so i was amazed that she found any good in me.

tl;dr...but based on your question you want to do things slow. Don't burn a bridge if you don't have to. I think especially when you are raised a JW you are hardwired to convince people that YOUR opinion is right. So when you figure out you don't want the JW's anymore you automatically want to convince people that they are wrong and you're right. So you end up with two totally opposing forces with neither one really willing to give any slack. undercover had some good advice.
If you do decide you need to give her some of your thoughts be sure to do it in a way that will make her ask the question. Make it seem like you don't understand certain rules but aren't outright saying they are wrong. Pose questions to her that will make her ask questions.

Again it's fine giving emotional support but outside of that just tell him to call the police. I would be extremely cautious in helping him "track" down anyone.

Well on this board it usually comes down to be skeptical of anything good said about the org, but believe everything bad said about them. We should be skeptical of everything said about them good or bad.

I always thought this was a good song for JW's exiting especially those who lost family members when they went in....it's about cocaine addiction but it's appropriate for here as well. Such a wonderful song.

i thought i might have been placed on the do not call list, but apparently, it was just one pesron that chose not to stop at my house her last time down our street.

i was surprised more came this close to the last visit!

(they need to work on their territories/organization, lest people really become annoyed and feel harrassed with 2 visits in a row.).

Always funny how they want to run away really quick when they can't over think you.

Have you people not been on Youtube or the internet lately? You are living in a bubble. People post much worst stuff of themselves in attempts to make fun of folks. Again not saying he is lying, but to believe it simply for that reason, well I got a bridge in NY to sell you.

Finally-Free - The next step for people like this is to accuse the victim of bringing it on himself. I've heard it too many times.

I will use an ad-hominem attack on you. You are gullible and foolish. Learn to read.

Tuesday,
First of all, re read my posts. I've never said he was stoned or used any ad hominem attacks against him. I've just simply tried to be a voice of reason. People have been duped on this site over the years more then it's member count on here, so then why is it wrong for me to simply state that people should exceed with caution?
If he is telling the truth then and more people step forward to out this DO/CO then awesome, another bad person is exposed. Just based on how defensive you guys are simply when someone justifiably points out how this could blow up shows that many on here are still grasping to some of the old JW ways of "thinking".
Let's do a hypothetical here. What if this person is simply lying to get a rise out people on here. Let's then say he picked an actual real target that was guilty of nothing. So you have an admin on here encouraging folks to help him. This person if proven innocent could easily sue the admin and those who are publicly helping this kid. The WTS could also possibly sue this site if they could prove that mod's/admin's were encouraging this sort of behavior. Now I doubt that would happen but it could.
I run a meetup group for Ex-JW's so please don't try to label me an apologist or anything else. We all want to assume the person claiming to be the victim is actually a victim because it's easy, mix in a distaste or personal reasons for disliking a religion and you have a recipe for disaster.

No but this has the potential to drastically change someone's life by fanning the flames. Imagine if someone posted up a video of you simply for a laugh claiming you molested them. Now you have potentially hundreds of people trying to find out everything they can on you. Not to mention possibly calling the police. Things like this can easily switch to IRL drama and become serious business for somebody. No one has looked into the background of this kid. What if he is mentally unstable? Does anyone know where he lives? Do we know any information on this guy? No. Yet people are willing to research the hell out of this maybe/maybe not DO. Again if he wants to actually do something about it he should be told to call the police and only involve the internet AFTER they can not do anything and even then it's still possibly dubious.
