Set 'em Up, Let Society Knock 'Em Down

    For you folks who suffer from demanding and deceived Witless
    relatives, be patient.

    Set forth your case clearly and logically. Don't be too pushy or
    negative - and always emphasize moral principles and compassion
    in opposing Watchtower dictates.

    Your relatives will keep on defending the organization, its
    dead meetings, its loss of money, and its dismissive attitude
    towards young people.

    One day, something might happen to them that will tip the balance.
    It might be a corrupt elder
    or a tyrannical circuit overseer,
    or another tragedy of a df'd teenager

    And they will snap
    and everything you told them will fall into place
    and all the 'apostate lies' will suddenly transform into
    unpleasant truths.

    and then you will be there to help them
    in kindness and love.

    I say this knowing that my relatives and I
    almost 'celebrated Christmas' this year.
    No tree or lights,
    just gifts to say 'we love you'

    I was very touched - and so were they

    excellent post

    in my family the jw family had a get together one day before christmas and one day before new years day to have what they call

    "FAMILY DAY"

    they want to enjoy the holiay occasions so bad they can taste it

    and you are correct the in your fact pushy style doesn't work AS WELL as the laid back approach

    even the jw have learned that over the years--- in times past we put our foot in the door and went off - today a good CO and his wife can show you have to be a smooth as glass

    an it is much more effective as well

    so the same smoothness that works to get folks in will IN MY VIEW be needed to help get folks out

    that dumping fliers on jw cars in the parking lot in my view is goofy

    esp when you seriously consider how they have been Programmed to respond

    just my view
