I am not a witness but I had studied with a sister in Australia where I pursue my bachelor. I am impressed. My husband here is a believer too. Both his mother and step father are witnesses and no, they are not the one whom influenced his believes. On the contrary, their hypocitical attitudes kept him from going any furher into the belief. I myself had experienced first hand what they did. I am disgusted. I am taught to be humble, both by my asian parents and through study sessions. They are anything but. When you try to point an error, they denied it and insist that what they did is right. They ARE always right.
They bring JW a bad name. I'm sadden by how sweet they act in the hall and how evil they are at home! I am trying to keep my eyes open and to continue my studies...it's a struggle. I thought I needed some advise.
