One of the nifty paradoxes of dysfunction is that the crazier the system in which you grow up, the more afraid and less equipped you are to leave it and stand on your own
That just about says it all for me. Fear is Watchtower's greatest weapon - and they know it! How many of us went on "apostate" sites with great trepidation at first? I know I did. I was forever looking over my shoulder, thinking Jehovah would disapprove. It was only when I had become really riled by the elders that I came here fearlessly. I think it takes something really upsetting to make one say "To hell with it!" and do some real searching. Only then, after finding out the truth about the Borg, does one realise the courageous step one has to take. I had a choice, tell my family and risk losing some/all of them or stick to my principles of being an honest person. I chose the latter and lost two children to Watchtower. If the BIG news can help me by way of litigation for the personal pain and injury the Borg has caused I would gladly seek legal redress. I want Watchtower to be brought down so that it can never hurt another soul again.
The main thing, though, is just to have all my family reunited. I've 19 years to make up for!
