    One method that I didn't see mentioned yet is PRAY!! There were a lot of good responses but without the Holy Spirit opening her eyes, she'll never leave. Or, she'll leave the WT and stay in spiritual limbo. Pray for her, love her and show her a better alternative (Jesus). There is no silver bullet approach. Look for opportunities to share when God opens the door. Don't give up! Tower Man

    Nic, my only advice would be to not view it so much as overcoming these arguments and reasoning on certain points, (even though those will be things you do) but rather as a matter of helping your sister. I'm sure if you keep that intent the fact that you care will come through. Just don't lose sight and get caught up in an argument. The rest of it is just details.

    All I have to say is the Wisdom on this site, despite the fact that we get into the "Bootie" threads from time to time is out of this world.

    I am a firm believer in the power of the net to provide folks with information that can impact thier lives-

    This post is the type of post I have longed to see.

    A jw who before pulling out his guns and blazing with both barrels has decided to seek advice on the best method to address and approach the issue of wt with family

    in the last 5 yrs or so that i have been on the net i have time and time again seen the jw post here only after they have shutdown thier family and friends and many times by the time they post here THERE is nothing that can be done or said to help them..

    In the future i see nothing but more and more jw coming here and gettig the needed direction on how to deal with jw family

    i think that by knowing how to deal with them we can still maintain some resemblance of contact-

    while some may want to blow their family out of the water and don't care how they deal with them, that is their choice of course

    but most folks want to at least attempt to help thier family, but just don't know how .

    Well my dear friends the net is the place

    It really makes me feel good to see the clear, well thought out and many times Personal exp of how to deal with family still in wt

    I beg all your Lurkers out there, to take the time and see what others have done.

    there are only 2 issues on the table

    1. Maintaining your mental health

    2, helping those we love who are willing to let us

    IF WE DO IT THE RIGHT WAY, at least we will know we put our best foot forward

    just my 2
