    OM, I must say that I totally disagree with your approach. I would get my kids out of
    this sick cult as quickly as possible, allowing all the reproach it brought upon me.
    Now that I got that out of the way, I say- I don't have kids, so I can proclaim the above.
    I admire you for what you are doing. You are trying to get your whole family to think for
    themselves. I have read the success story where an anointed one did this.

    I have the stomach to put up with a fade, and continue to miss out on some of the
    normal things in life, but I don't have the guts to stay as an elder or continue to promote
    the doctrine in any way, shape, or form. Maybe I am proud of you for being able to do that.

    I said "You can always change your mind after trying to fade." so perhaps you can try to
    free your family this way. If things don't work, you can say you tried this method.

    That was excellent!

    Your children are going to be free thinkers before you know it!

    I'm sure your wife will come around, a few hints here and there, and hopefully her brain will kick in.

    That was great OM!

    One question - how do you get them to the family study and to participate? My dad had to drag us kicking and screaming, tears, snot and drools, somebody always got a beating after the study (usually me or my brother next to me) and it was never productive.

    It was awefull!!! I'm glad you handle your kids they way you do, keep those communication lines open, they obviously trust you and that is priceless!

    OM, I bet you've never done so much pre-study for a family study before. I'm sure it will be worthwhile.

    As a "prophet" (parenthesis denote "uninspired" and a legal disclaimere to follow) of the most high, I predict... speculate... insist...declare that there will soon be 4 more 'apostates' registering on JWD within a few years.

    Wow, what an inspiration you are to others! I hope one day your family will all know how much you loved them to do this for them! (especially your wife)
