Hi Duran, We were born in to it. Then my parents and I decided that we did not want to be a part of this any longer due to their changing views and lack of love in the organization. The other 4 siblings stayed involved with it. My parents always felt that it was up to them (siblings) to decide their spirituality.
My father had passed away over 5 years ago. And I know that that the society has made major changes in their policies, in which the last 2-3 years, my mother and I started getting calls from the children, never mind an apology for not talking with us for over 3 decades before that.
So, what I can say now, is that the siblings, when they communicated in the last 2-3 years, there was a softening in their tone overall and I am glad that my mother was able to have calls and letters before her recent passing.
