In my own very personal opinion, having read all that I could possibly read and learn about Rizal and his times, he did not join the revolution because he believed the Filipinos then lacked the capacity and ability to overwhelm the Spaniards.
It might have come to a point that he believed that although he himself along with his associates were ideologically armed, such was not sufficient to win. Instead, he endeavored to seek reforms first in order for conditions to ripen.
Sadly that decision and view, gleaned from a historical perspective, was incorrect. It is tragic to think back and realized that Rizal lacked the intuitive sense to realize that he was the heart and soul of the revolution-in-the-making and that he was the best person to lead it.
Rizal refused their help to escape because he did not want to implicate them in his cause and put them in danger. He believed that his fight for reforms should be his responsibility alone.
Jose Rizal was against the idea of revolution because he believed in achieving reforms through peaceful means such as education and legal processes. He believed that violence would only lead to more suffering and bloodshed among the Filipino people. Rizal also feared the consequences of a failed revolution and the potential backlash from the colonial authorities.
well, he is not really against but he refused to be with the group. yet, still, he help them through suggesting which persons to go to, for he is so known and had enough knowledge which path do they need to take into. (also he don't want an armed revolution or shall we say bloody revolution)
Jose Rizal had two sisters: Saturnina Rizal, who was the eldest, and Narcisa Rizal, who was the second oldest. Both sisters played important roles in Rizal's life and in the Philippine revolution against Spanish colonization.
Rizal believed in achieving reforms through peaceful means and education, not violence. He feared that a revolution might lead to unnecessary bloodshed and destruction, and believed that it could tarnish the image of the Filipinos in the eyes of the world. He considered a revolution to be savage and dishonorable because of the potential negative consequences it could bring to the country and its people.
He was accused of starting the revolution or the mastermind of the revolution because the men in that revolt were shouting his name.
against revolution
No Jose Rizal is not an American sponsored hero because he is already a Filipino hero before the Americans chose him ...and lets always remember that Jose Rizal is the soul of revolution.

La Independencia was a newspaper founded by José Rizal in 1896 during the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. Rizal, a national hero in the Philippines, used the newspaper to promote independence and freedom from Spanish oppression.

Dr. Rizal was regarded as a national hero from the moment of his martyrdom. He was considered to be an inspiration by Andres Bonifacio, the military leader who successfully led the revolution against Spain. Bonifacio took up where Rizal's Liga Filipina left off when he founded the Katipunan organization. Bonifacio also respected Rizal enough to try to recruit him to the Katipunan after his release from prison. Rizal refused, but was shot anyways as a supporter of the revolution. After the American colonization of the Philippines, Dr. Rizal was regarded ever more highly. Renato Constantino expressed the view in 1970 that the Americans explicitly promoted Dr. Rizal as a national hero as opposed to Andres Bonifacio because Rizal favoured a peaceful method of securing independence and Bonifacio led an armed rebellion. The intent according to Constantino was to suppress Filipino opposition to US colonization. Perhaps as a result Rizal is popularly known as "the national hero". However, because of controversies surrounding Rizal and Bonifacio no Government of the Philippines has ever named either as a national hero.
There were several important events in history that happened during Jose Rizal's time. The three most important were the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution and the American Revolution. Rizal was considered to be a great hero to the people of the Philippines.
maybe, because Rizal didn't want to support the katipunan. maybe he wanted revenged but I'm not sure. it is also possible that Bonifacio used Rizal for the password of the katipunan for revenged. but many say that Bonifacio made it Rizal a password because he idolized Rizal. try to read a book about Rizal. i saw one book answered this question i think the title is Jose Rizal w/o the coat?.... I don't really remember the title.
because bonifacio and aguinaldo are both aggressive they want a bloody revolution.
Rizal was the prime mover of the revolution in the Philippines. He is a great hero and is considered to be the first Filipino as his works brought enlightenment which led to the independence of Philippines.
