I wanted to suggest that you send it to your family...but...would they read it and understand? I don't know. I was blind for so long myself. I wonder if one of my sons had handed me a poem like this what I would have done. I fear I would have beat myself up for not studying with them enough and, instead of really looking at my JW religion and seeing how awful and hypocritical it was, tried to browbeat or guilt them into submission with more dub propaganda. Makes me feel sick now.

Luna, I really don't have any idea what my family members would think about such a poem. My mother is a very tender hearted woman and would probably cry. The rest of my family--all nice people--might be affected by it, but perhaps not until a later time would they react. The indoctrination is just too strong in them.
But I hold out hope that one day some of them will come around. I can't believe I'm going to be the only one to figure this stuff out. Very soon I intend to make my attempt to communicate with them and my former JW friends, and I'll keep my friends here updated on it.
Love
