Intervene, intervene, intervene and intervene now. If the sister and her boyfriend get involved it will be harder to talk to them later once the religion gets more of a firm hold and are in their heads. If they end of getting on the band wagon anyways at least then you will have planted some seeds that may grow or come to light down the road that may help them wake up.

JWism retaking control of wife's family
by The JHWH ina situation regarding this religion has developed which i fear might have negative implications on me and wifes lives, and i'm looking for thoughts and advice in how to approach the situation.
i'll start with some background information to enlighten the situation.. i'm a male in mid-twenties, raised secularly, married to an ex-jw woman (on paper still a jw though), who's been raised in the jw religion, although somewhat untheocratically shall i say.
for instance her mother has 5 children with 3 different men, all non-jws, and has had many other relationships as well.

"Your good example is much needed for the young ones the congregation."
by Yondaime inhey guys n gals, sorry its been such a long time since i've posted.
lately i've been very busy balancing between my school work and cult activities.
since i've been doing pretty well "spiritually"(enough field-circus hours, attending meetings, underlining my literatrash, reading, praying and serving as the mic-master) my coordinator grabbed me to the side after a meeting and talked to me for twenty minutes straight congratulating me about how good i am doing.. then he paused for a good five seconds and got all serious.. then he proceeded to tell me that the young ones in the hall aren't doing too well.

Wow that's amazing you're awake and have them so perfectly fooled. I wonder how they will take it when and if you decide to leave. I'm curious are you getting a promotion? And would you accept it if they did. I wonder if anyone who's ever been awake has actually worked their way through the ranks just to learn more about the inside and be a mole. -

Here's his website LeeBaker.4Mormon.org. Seeing this makes me so wish there was an ex jw higher upper, like a district overseer or a circuit overseer who did public out reaches like this guy. Can't you picture it, an ex jw teaches you how to Witness to a jehovah's Witness.

the GB approved of smoking weed for medicinal purposes which shocked the hell out of my husband and I. We thought when their letter of recommendation came it would say something along the lines of, taking Marijuana as a medication is ok so long as it's legally prescribed by a doctor and not smoked because of the unhealthy, unclean habits of smoking.
Well low and behold they said if a doctor prescribed it as ok to use in any format they gave their blessing. The only thing they cautioned and said would prevent a brother from priveledges was if he chose to grow his own medicinal plants because then that could open the way for possible abuse. It was a total flip flop of how I thought their stance would be
