Are my children in danger of being indoctrinated if I let them spend the night with their JW family?

so... i'm writing because i have mixed feelings.

keeping my kids safe is my goal... until they are old enough to understand and reason on their own.

my mother gave me the tapes (that i gave her back in december) of combating mind control by steven hassan, saying that she didn't have a tape player... reminded me of three years ago when i gave her crisis of conscience by ray franz and she said it's to big book to read and she's not a reader.

Memorial Day.... still struggling with the idea of war and support
by Butterflyleia85 in
1. jw
2. friends
so i do respect and am very greatful for the sacrifies those who dedicated their family, lives, etc.

to defend our freedom, lives, and land, but if we lived in a world where we lived as monks or jehovah's witnesses (basicly just the practise of no war).... would that be wrong?.

what's a good lesson or level of reasoning when supporting the idea of war?.
