Thats sad, but your son is still in a very impressionable age group, the love bombing and indoctrination is how cults like the JWS work
on people or shall I say work on their minds. Why don't you in kind show your son the lies and corruption of the WTS.
like using web sites such as JWFacts.com and indoctrinate him into the truth ?

I think that if you try and show your son the lies and corruption of the watchtower it wont work out well for you. REMEMEMBER THEY ARE BRAIN WASHED!

Finkelstein, I havn't tried to show him anything because of what truthseeker just said. I get this all the time in asking for advice which is why I feel helpless. I know a lot of the lies, false pronouncements, corruption and doctrinal flip flops but what good is knowing it when they just want to beleive what they "want" to believe. It's a pretty picture that the WT paints, especially of a paradise earth. Never mind the bible doesn't mention a "paradise earth"once. Never mind that the WTBTS has made false prophecies while claiming to be a prophet in some publications. The fact that the bible warns against following false prophets and false teachers just as much as it heeds people to hold on to the faith, illudes JW's to test what they have been taught. I can see how it doesn't matter what I say or what I show them, as long as they "feel" special and beleive in a spiritual authority that encourages boasting in the face of other religions while knowing their place as to not questions anything. How can I possibly have any hope? Would I be better off phsychologically than to just give up on it and try to save myself as some others on this board has advised me? I can see more and more that this is probably my only realistic course.
