Okay, here's the situation : I've been lurking on this forum here and there, and it seems like you folks are pretty educated as to the blatant falseness of the JW religion. I was raised a JW and left about 7 years ago. I was DF'd about 6 years ago. I don't know anything about the legal aspects of the company or much about the blatant lies that they tell. I only knew at the time that I was unhappy and that people who claimed to be representatives of god should not lie and cheat and steal from their fellow man. Also I firmly believed that god reads hearts, not time slips, and that I would be fine as far as the lord is concerned. Then I met a very nice man who is now my husband that explained to me that it is indeed possible to be a christian and not a JW. Not being a JW does not have to mean being without god. Okay, that's my story in a nutshell. My sister is a different story. She was DF'd years before me. She is nine years older than me. She still lives under the shadow of JW's though. She talks to my mother on a regular basis, who is a very sweet well meaning lady, but she make her feel like she "needs to do something about the truth". I think Shannon (my sister) thinks eventually someday she will have to "do something about the truth". I"d like to gradually let her in on my not so little secret that JW's do not indeed have the truth, but I don't know how. I think it would be a big burden off of her shoulders and allow her to finally be happy. I know it seems funny that I'm asking how to unconvert someone who's not converted but I'm sure you all can understand what I'm talking about. Any ideas, websites, info, etc. would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Suzanne

If you could get her to read "Crisis of Conscience" by Ray Franz it would free her from the JWs hold of her mind.
I let my DFed brother read it and it worked for him.

Why not let their own words condemn them for what they are. http://quotes.watchtower.ca/ At Quotes site you will find only quotes of what they have taught and believed over the last 120 years or so with no added comment. I don't believe anyone can read through all the trash they have taught in their history and still conclude that they have the TRUTH™

One option is to go to my web site and click through to the "info on jws" section. There you will find a description of the problems with this cult and tons of links with supporting evidence. My faves include the UN thing, the Nazi letter, the spirit medium quoted in wts literature, wts owning stock in a military manufacturing company, wts profiting from tobacco investments, Beth Shan, etc. There are plenty of scandalous things on my site and links that will lead you to evidence.
Perhaps try printing out the actual documents and writing down for your sister where she can find them, ie, the UN's web site. She can verify for herself they're true. It will be hard for her to read all that stuff and not come to a realization on some level that the wts is not what it claims to be.
