Is helping people get out a goal of yours?? Do you make any special effort to tell the truth about the "truth"?

the only people i hope to influence are my younger kids.. oldest is a married pioneer and very zealous so i'm not really able to influence her..but my younger kids i want to have a better life. i tend to talk more to them about being balanced and not feeling overwhelmed by their " kh responsibilities" (the fact that a 8 yr old worries about his "time" makes me SICK)

The way I look at it is that it's not my job to preach any more.
If someone brings up the subject, that's different. I tell them what I have found out.

My goals are to prevent people from getting in. This is done by educating the public about the teachings of the JW's.

Someone who is happy as a JW is unlikely to leave it just because I'm preaching at him. More than likely they'd just get their backs up. Usually someone has to have doubts of their own before they start investigating the truth about the WTS.
If someone has questions I'll point them to the answers.

Well as of right now I keep my mouth shut! There are so many times I want to say something to my family but I don't want to loose them at this point in time. I don't go to any meeting or service. I don't do anything that involves the JW's!
I am only 24 and I have 2 youngs kids and I do need my mom right now! I have my Dad and he has been out for a while now. Also I have my great in-laws and they have been out for as long as my Dad. And my husband and I lean on these people when it comes to the JW teaching and how we think everything is so wrong with it.
My 2 youngers Brothers at this point I think are leaning on to getting Baptized. I don't know when but I am sure someday day! I told one of them that there is something really wrong and maybe he should think about it and not just do it to be "in" or make the family happy. the 2nd I have said nothing too I know he is not stupid but right now I think he is so blind I have never seen him like this. He is a thinker I mean like a freak my god you are wasting time just say "Regular or Curly fries" kind of thinker. I hope and pray they look at it on how I do and not get baptized like I did. But those damn Elders are acting like there friends and giving them invites to there house for Dinner......by god I will say something to them before it is too late. They love our father as much as I do and I made the choice of being and talking and still have a loving relationship with him. And they must know if they want to get baptized and do what "they" want then they must Shun our Father! ....."Blood is thicker than water and Elders are like Piss and I don't want any pee on me" LOL...ok that was a little bit funny!
Right now I stay strong to what I believe in but I am not going down without letting my brothers know all facts!

It IS important to get a good footing first, YOURSELF, before trying to help others.

I don't help, and never will. People come to their own conclusions and resolutions in time.
