Would you go back to the dubs for your family ? Do you sometimes feel tired and stressed because your family shunns you so you go back to be with your family ?
Personally myself ? NO FREAKIN WAY ! Not for anyone but what about you, do you get that feeling sometimes like giving in ?
Going back in my case would be like this.

My family doesn't shun me, but if they did, I still would not go back. As I said to a friend of mine who's going back "....you're selling your dignity, your self respect, your beliefs, your life and your very soul to people who would not do the same for you..."
I for one, will not allow this religion to dictate how I live my life or what I can and cannot believe---they can go straight to hell. While I understand it would be very difficult to not have your family around like before, there's no way I would become the victim of emotional blackmailing like so many Witnesses employ.
No.
I'd rather be strapped to a chair and force fed scorpion chow mein while listening to a continuously looped tape of Britney's Greatest Hits!
NO WAY!
I haven't seen my folks in about 10 years and I guess some things you just get used to. Plus I love the freedom of choosing for myself now too much to go back.
Theres six BILLION people on the planet...Im just gonna get me a knew fambly. Screw em if they dont like me. Their loss, the losers. More presents for ME.
I don't have family in the org, but I couldn't go back even if I did have. I couldn't go through all that love bombing, see all those false smiles and hear all that crap spewing from the platform again, whatever the cost.
I would only go back for my husband, and while I was there sitting at meetings I would contradict every misrepresentation they preached from the podium.
I would make him too uncomfortable to go.
But I'd do it in a really nice and loving way. If that's possible.
But otherwise, there is no way I'm going to the Kingdumb Hell.
Best Regards,

Knowing what I know now I would NOT go back even if Ol' Johoobie Himself ordered me to. There is no reason to go back as the whole belief system is complete insanity.
