Hi Smokey, welcome to the board, if you need to talk to someone this is the place to be. There are hundreds of people here who have been in the same situation as you. And those of us who haven't been in exactly the same situation, will be able to sympathize easily. So feel free to talk, and please stick around...you are among friends here!

In reply to your questions, yes I have read several books, booklets, watched the videos and such. My family are avid JWS and go to the meetings, field service all that stuff on a regualar basis, I was disfellowshipped when I was a teenager and I was still living with my family and in order to make life easier on myself, I chose to get re-instated after that I got married moved far away and still kept in touch with family. After I moved back to the same state there was some tension as to what I would do, I chose to tell my family how I felt and that what they were in and what they were doing was wrong, we have come to an unspoken agreement that if they speak to me or my children regarding their beliefs or try to persuade us to attend that it will only cause confrontation and ultimately the end of our relationship. So I attend a very loving and upbuilding church called the Vineyard, where in the true Lord-Jehovah-Jesus Christ is loving. I did have a lot of issues to deal with when I was younger and I think other people out there do too. I truly believe that JW are a cult (which we all know) and they border on demonic. Notice you really do not have problems with demons and things of this nature until you become an avid witness. Hope I did not bore you to death. I think what you are doing is wonderful, keep up the good work.

Smokey,
A lot of us walk a tightrope to be included with family, we understand like none else could. You've come to the right place to talk, vent or just to expose your self to other perspectives.
my e-mail is open.
..... welcome home.........

Thank you to everyone. Has anyone here been successful in helping a loved one get out of this brainwashing scheme?
