Well, if the opportunity comes up in conversation then I think you should, however I personally wouldn't force the issue. Maybe you could say, "make sure of all things" and really harp on studying things objectively.

15NEW STUDY AT THE KINGDOM HALL. ADVICE NEEDED.
by DATA-DOG inas the title suggests, there is a young man studying the bible teach book and attending meetings.
at every meeting that he has attended, there have been some really cultish comments.
of course i hear them loud and clear now, and for years then were coming through, that is why i woke up.. anyway, at the meeting i was sitting there, hating it, listening to all the emotion comments from the audience.

Ever Caution a Former RV about JWs?
by rubadubdub inhas anyone ever felt a strong desire to go back to one of their former "return visits" in order to warn them about ttatt?
i used to call on the sweetest gentleman who was truly hurt as a child by the catholic church and its doctrines.
last we spoke he was still so fearful about being damned to hell.

Yes I have done this with all my fellow co-workers. They once tip toed around my beliefs when i was in, now they are all relieved and told me what they really thought of everthing. They are shocked at all the rules and regulations found within this organization. I still have the iPhone app for service, "My Time" and had a good 15 RVs on there. Im not sure whether I should go out of my way to warn them, but it has crossed my mind.

No worries wasblind!
I managed to make many friends and was very popular (not so much now as I have been irregular) in both the english and spanish congregations in my state. My network has reached into neighboring states with generally everyone in my age group knowing full well who I am. I too have to maintain a low profile until my final exit. Fortunately this has worked out in my favor as I have continued to help people leave. WTSHTF I am positive it will catch many by surprise.

by moomanchu inmore real estate & money !click here http://thetandd.com/news/jehovah-s-witnesses-conference-center/collection_cb5ac476-6825-11e2-9002-001a4bcf887a.html#0 for a slideshow of the assembly hall.emily youngblood says there are a lot of opportunities in the world for a 21-year-old opportunities for success and fame.but serving god and others is youngbloods joy.
so the lexington resident was honored to take part in the construction of the new orangeburg assembly hall of jehovahs witnesses.just seeing something all of us are so passionate about and that we enjoyed doing, to me that is a great opportunity to show that we are doing this as volunteers and as part of our worship of god, youngblood said.youngblood was among the approximately 5,000 volunteers who worked on the assembly hall over the past year and a half.the 3,000-seat assembly hall sits on 58 acres near the intersection of s.c. highway 33 and interstate 26. an open house was held friday.the center will serve primarily as a location to educate the jehovahs witnesses on biblical principles for daily life.
more than 300 congregations will use the assembly hall for their semi-annual assemblies.youngblood said she heard about the orangeburg project about six years ago and knew she wanted to volunteer at that time.i worked on anything that i could, she said.

I know the girl mentioned in this article, she's a super nice girl and is really zealous for being one of Jehovah's witnesses. Her father Barry is a funny and great person to talk with. This family is certainly the exception from the stereotype, sadly they are the most heavily indoctrinated.
This assembly hall build though was the spark that helped an in-law wake up. He said the same exact thing, "Why are they building 10 million dollar buildings when we are living so close to the end? This is unnecessary pressure and money the brothers can't afford."
I then worked my sparlock magic on him and now he's out.

Hi! I'm New Here
by alecholmesthedetective inhi there, as was suggested to me, i'm starting this thread to say hi to everyone.. my awakening began recently, after the new light on the 'slave'.
i felt it didn't add up and went to check and found out ttatt.
for a while i tried to find evidence of whether the wt might still be god's organization, i needn't say i couldn't.. i had already resigned as a ministerial servant and a pioneer, had already had several issues with the elders and did not put up with their nonsense for a long.

msjacob, I used to think the same way but the WT has a systemic problem of prejudice and a poisonous view of the world that is not natural, it is learned.
To label persons who have left the movement as wicked or apostate due to a differing opinion is not held in any way christian or found in the bible. When you realize the false authority they have, how it is not backed up by their own history or by their own interpretation of the bible, you will see how futile and pointless their shunning policies and mental regulations are. Hopefully you will see this and continue waking up. I agree that many handle deceit in a very bitter way but the Watchtower reaps what is sows with their social and life altering policies.
