  I've decided to write a series of articles aimed not at JWs or ex-JWs, but non-JWs caught in the "crossfire" between the individual and the organization. Too often the loved ones of ex-JWs feel like they're on the sidelines when it comes to religious issues. I wanted to help the woman who's husband still won't decorate the Christmas tree, the man who's wife will cook a ham but won't hide eggs for the kids on Easter, or just anyone wondering why their significant other is being shunned by his/her family at the behest of a book publishing corporation. I want to help them understand not just what the JW religion teaches, but how those teachings still might be affecting their loved one even though they've left the church. I want to help them understand why leaving Jehovah's Witnesses isn't a trivial matter like leaving most other churches is.
  
  I've written a short introduction as well as the first three articles already, which can be found here:
