This is a great thread. One of the things that has helped me a little is to show my loved one sections of the elder book. This has surprised them and convinced them that hypocrisy abounds. I have also shown them copies of recent letters to the BOE that deal with molestation and porn.
Another angle that has been sucessful is pointing to the recent cost cutting measure done by the society in terms of branch closures, property sales and publishing changes, and asking "if branch dedications and expansion of facilities and publications are evidence of God's spirit blessing the work, what are the closures, sales and cost cutting measures evidence of? "
I have come to realize that some people will never wake up, simply because they need someone to tell them how to think and act. They need the cult more than it needs them.
