My perspective is different: how would you sugget helping someone you love, a family member, exit the LC if this person is a full time meeting attender & conference attender and whose greatest desire is to attending full time training in Anaheim? I believe that the LC will be destructive in the long run and after 2 years of full time training it may be exceedingly difficult to UNdo such a worldview and practice of religion.
Dear friend,

I would say two words: Pray and model. Pray for your family member and model genuine Christ-like care. Rest in the Lord and trust him.

This board is proof that debating with people whose minds are made up is futile. Even reasonably open-minded people have a hard time admitting "Hey, you were right and I was wrong!" Direct confrontation alone just doesn't get it done.

People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. And even then, without some personal crisis to push them to seek answers, most people are not going to change. We need prayer and care. Visible care.
