I think some folks are so needy of family approval that they will allow themselves to be treated like a doormat and in so doing miss out on the best chance for the real life they were meant to live. If they are OK with living a life dictated by WT rules through JW relatives, there isn't much hope for therapy to free them.
They are also empowering the JWs, because the Witnesses see weak ones, fading ones and disassociated/df'd relatives still begging for mumsy and popsy's, brother and sister, grown children and old JW friends approval- the addiction is so strong for that pat on the head, that they will never be their own person and their life will be on a canvas that has the borders painted in by JWs under WT mind control. Kicking the can down the road is not a plan, it's an excuse to avoid pain and then comes the recovery.
And lying- that is at the root of all of it. Without lies, the charade couldn't last- the truth would cause pain, but you would have your real life back and could move forward.
