Here are my two cents which probably aren't even worth that. I applaud Essan and others who want to help their families and friends out of this cult. But I don't think this is the right way to do it. My reason for saying this is that at the bottom it is all based on deception. We are pretending to be something that we are not: an interested person who wants to study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. Jesus faced such people in his ministry, men who pretended to be righteous and then tried to trip him up on the question of paying taxes to Caesar. Those men were said to be "cunning" and "hypocrites".
I don't want to come across as harsh, self-righteous, or judgmental. I know the motive behind this idea is a good one. I just don't think this is an honest way of helping others. I think it would be much better to say straight up to any Witness who comes to my door that I am willing to have a Bible-based discussion with him or anyone else as long as there is no restriction on what is to be examined. Furthermore, if I pose questions about Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs and organizational history, then I expect those questions to be addressed in a way that is respectful and honest. If the Witness agrees, then we can talk. Otherwise, we need to break off discussion then and there.
I prefer this approach because sooner or later, if the way Essan and others advocate is used, this point will be reached. What then? If the Witness learns that he has been strung along for the purpose of getting him to leave the cult, the reaction most likely will be an angry one. Who could blame him for that? If, on the other hand, he sincerely wants to do what is right, letting him know that an open, free, and frank discussion is the goal up front will save everyone precious time and hurt feelings. At least that is the way I see it. Many posters to this thread will probably disagree with me, but I wanted to put my thinking out there. In any case, I wish Essan and others every success in rescuing their loved ones from the clutches of the WTS.
