[Serious] How Do I Help My Friend?

Hey Dirch, ever hear the parable of The Good Samaritan? Did it ever occur to you that maybe there is no ulterior motive? There is no indication that this lady doesn't want to stop believing the Bible, just that she wants to escape a cult.

Did the samaritan in the processing of helping one person destroy a whole family or did he count the cost of real help and made provisions for the future.

The only reason I have anything to say, is you have not yet once laid out a plan to help anyone one but yourself and this girl. again how autonomous is she with out direct support from her family? if she is dependant on them and you move in help her see there is no JW God... and she is kicked out of her family then what or who benefits then? 

you do because you get to be the hero again and provide her with a place to stay.

Put it the other way..

You help her out how?

what are the repercussions?

what if... a crazy couple who forbade anyone have contact with nonJW's freaks out and kicks out this girl.

Then who cares for her then..

Would her situation be better or worse?

Can you pay for her meds can you fill the role of a provider?

Do you even want that roll? Then why put yourself in such a position unless you want it.

If you do then how is this NOT benefiting you?

Can you see the paradox here, between what you claim and what your potential actions here tell about you?

If you are just a good samaritan, then why further endanger the person you are trying to help? why put a person in the position of needing even more help unless you want them indebted to you?

Do we blame the Samaritan for the actions of a family whose actions they have no control over? I don't know where you got the idea that I want to break up a family. Many Christians are perfectly happy if their child wants to go to a different Church to them, or indeed no Church at all. JW has been exposed as a cult and these people want to cut their daughter off from society!

I am not against people attending Church services if that is they choose and they are not being forced into it. These people put their cult above the well-being of their own children. This is not healthy.

Her own parents are doing a grand job of pushing her away from any kind of religion on their own. They don't need my help to that. As I said, I don't really care what people do with themselves, as long as they are not being forced into it.
