sorry, i meant like i'm her only non jw contact, in my view i see that as the outside but i probably said it wrong. she works with non jws but doesn't mix with them, i just wondered if i wasn't in her life and circle at all, she would have no balance to see outside her 'religion'

THANKS.

process of deprogramming
by nicbic inmy first post - hi!.
i have a read a lot of posts though on here.. i was wondering if anyone could tell me (i'm a non jw) if there are any procedures that can help to plant seeds of doubt in my close jw friend's mind - she has been one since birth, was inactive for a time and went back in full force.
now - she says she is unhappy but i think she has just gone back in due to family ties, i think with some support she could change her mind.

thank you all - i have read and understood. i'll try very hard to be there and show my life is fulfilled and happy - fullofdoubtnow - that was very good to hear, i never looked at it like that.
at the minute she is single, i was hoping i could influence her before she met a man. turns out some witness has shown her some interest and she is very attracted to him. i may be fearing the worst but i think that if she marries a witness she'll never question and grow. i guess as long as she's happy.....

hi jstalin
i will take it slowly, it would be well worth the wait if i could get to see her live an ordinary life. i can tell she isn't happy.
do you have any other tips, like should i steer clear of certain topics so she doesn't think i'm trying to oppose her view?

thank you
