I've been rehashing the pro's and cons of informing believing TBM's of what we know to be false.
Yes, yes, in the nicest most loving manner possible, of course. I usually am a fairly nice person I think.
Arguments for helping them out of the cult:
Are they truly happy? Statistics tell us otherwise.
Every parent agrees that a child eventually needs to find out the truth about Santa so why not the truth about the Mormon church?
Is it truly not harmful to look on silently as they struggle to pay bills after giving 10 percent to the scam? ...
Or pay $400/month to send their sons and daughters away for two years to teach others' the same bullshit?
Or silently watch as they use their retirement savings to go on senior missions to continue promoting the bullshit instead of spending time with their children and grandkids?
I need some more arguments for not helping them out. I can only come up with:
You want them to let you believe what you want to believe, so give their "beliefs" the same consideration.
(This would mean that I'd be an accomplice in the crime though wouldn't it?)
