My sister and I just quit cold turkey. Yes, we have family in, we took all those we could out with us. It was best for us, you must decide for yourself.
Best wishes for you and your family. Let us know what you are thinking.
Many here will tell you to read Steve Hason's book about getting your loved ones out of cults. I second that suggestion. Proceed carefully.
discuss.. god is love but yet he hates.. god don't hate bad people he hates bad acts and yet he takes out his hate on people and not the acts.. god loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son as payment to some mysterious debt collector so the world would live on and then he back tracks on the deal and decides they need extermination after all, except for a worthy few who put faith in the watchtower corporation.. i remember an article by the wt years ago that dealt with the topic why a god of love is going to destroy the world any quotes from it would be helpful..
Watkins: You are right, there aren't too many JW apologists on this board anymore. They are all waking up, we can only hope.
I have had go round and go round with my daughter about this...she is silent on the matter. She will not defend the Watchtower nor say they are wrong about Armageddon. This was a sticking point with me when I first started to wake up. I began seeing that there were many, many wonderful people who were not Jehovah's Witnesses and it didn't add up that God would distroy them. It seemed like Armageddon was the lazy way out, not the honorable way to deal with unrighteous mankind.

YouTube is full of great video's on Jehovah's Witnesses. The Screwed Generation is one of my favorite posters.
for me it was meeting and marrying my current husband (who had once studied for the catholic priesthood).. the second best thing was having an affair during my first marriage (to the bethelite).
he said "oh, this is all wrong.
you have to get out of your marriage, and you have to get out of your religion.".
Having a beautiful baby girl 35 years ago.
my husband asked me to print the wt 7/13 wt for him.
his mom usually calls him during month of may, he wants to be prepared.
his response,(can only read small amount at one time).
Wow, this is encouraging. Maybe there will be another mass exodus like after the 1975 fiasco!
please review my letter to the irs commissioner to establish a process for revoking the tax exempt status of dangerous cults and write comments about how to improve it.. rough draft of letter.

I think this is wonderful! Go get um...take um down.
that's right, and it's great!
i don't know exactly why because he hasn't turned apostate and still seems to believe jw things.
i don't feel comfortable in asking him why he doesn't go to meetings anymore for some reason, or find out what he believes and if the things i've told him bout ttatt influenced his decision.
Maybe he is like me and just cant go door to door preaching such preposterous things the Watchtower says.
Happy for you.

If you ever stop our weekly Watchtower review I will really miss it. Much appreciated. I read them every time you post them.
i had the chance to speak with a circuit overseer, he was not my circuit overseer and it was my chance to get the offical party line why the watchtower joined the united nations.. .

Jehovah's holy spirit is losing it's power, huh? Can't protect his people in modern times as he did in the old testament? Satan can thwart his purpose of the good news reaching every nation?
