KristiKay - RUN. Do not get involved with these people. It's a glorified, sugarcoated cult. Yes most of them are very polite but that is part of their act. As mentioned above by others, these people are trained at their "Meetings" how to argue their point. Many of them will relentlessly show up at your door even if you've told them politely and firmly that you're not interested. Its a brainwashing scam. Their goal is to isolate you from your actual family and adopt them as your new family in the hopes that you will now be reliant on them which further isolates you from your real family. I know because they sucked in my unwise, naive, troubled daughter (even though she's actually just posing because she does not believe in God) and unfortunately her 3 year old son. They're also a bunchy of phony posers that talk about how material posessions dont matter, yet look at some of the stuff they have, not to mention the fact that my daughter sure doesnt mind her material big-screen HD television.
Its just a farce - keep away!
Good luck to you.
