Candidlynuts,
Thank you very much for bringing up Russia. You're right. This is a good example of how WTS doctrine often perpetuates and re-inforces existing abuse within families. It gives licence to those who might be already unstable people to continue to abuse and neglect their children in God's name. This is a horrible horrible story. I would genuinely appreciate it if you would consider contacting me directly:
[email protected].
Thank you for your response.
Ruby.

Thank you Crumpet. Would you mind telling me (i'm fairly new to this kind of format) am I posting my "replies" properly? when I review them it seems a continual page of my responses, and I am hoping that individuals are receiving my responses.
Will check my e-mail now! Thanks! Ruby. -

Hi Will Power. yes. Understandings of "freedom" from both sides will be explored or at least referenced. How does Freedom of Religion gloss over glaring problematic issues within insular communities such as this, allowing problems to fester under a live-and-let-live philosophy? How would / do believers approach this idea of Freedom of Religion? Especially when adn if believers do not believe in the courts and governments which uphold these laws...(and are simply waitiing for the day when they will be destroyed by a vengeful god). Absolutely. thank you. Ruby.

Cabasilas,
This is a very very good point. I truly believe that my family is traumatized by believing it is their duty to shun me. Of course - they have each other and the congregation - I don't. But as you mention it can be excruciating. This point fits with my overall theory which is that it hurts people on both sides - whether they are conscious of it or not. thank you. Ruby. -

don't worry Frank75 - i'm interested in the real truth. of course, there is more than one kind out there. i promise to go about it somewhat diplomatically. :)
thank you,
Ruby.
