    Last night I was watching this movie and during the last scene it hit me how much the jw thought process hinders honest emotion with family members.

    Yes,,,, I know that there are hundreds of reasons as to why families do not get along / together, but being a witness for several decades showed me how much this religion makes an effort to "throw a wrench in the works" of family relationships.

    There is no sound in this link, but just watching the interactions between everyone says volumes, imagine how different it would be if someone was "bad association or df'ed .

    I really do love that film. Especially how the late Jason Robards's grandpa character gets a second chance with his grandson, Cool.

    I love that movie. Saw it the other night for the hundredth time. Very insightful, well-observed, and full of great one-liners. And you're right how JWism can often put extra strains on and complicate family relationships.
