If someone had stood up to these Witnesses 30 years ago, I would not have to deal with this now.-mrrhome
I think this is a bit of a simplistic view, Giordano has basically shown that no matter how many make a stand and leave the cult will grow. It's a machine an no one can control it.
I left when I learned TTATT and so did my daughter, but we can't stop WT. Your wife would be suffering no matter what, there are always going to be people who will be recruited into the cult and stuck in the cult due to family reasons.
There are many with the same view as you, but leaving a cult and deprogramming from a cult is not as easy as it may seem. I left and am very isolated and finding it hard to rebuild my life, my ex is making it hard and not letting my son have contact with me, and finding a job in my profession has been a challenge. Other JWs that were in my situation would just shut up and put up with it and avoid all the challenges I have had to face. I can understand why they would. Much of the time my close JW loved ones would try and hush me up, they could forsee the outcome, they wanted to keep our family together and keep us all loyal JWs, but I knew my ex was a liar and a fake and I would just not shut up. But that's me, I totally get why others would not do what I did.
