"Finding a good question just the beginning. When you ask a cult member a question, you have to do it in a way that makes them feel like they have to provide you with an answer. Until you understand how to do that, you are better off to shut up, because everything you do just helps them build the wall."
But how do I do that? Any thought provoking question I ask is met with the same answer. "if YOU want to know the answer then YOU look it up. I don't need to because I know I have the truth."
"Get to the library and get books to teach your family critical thinking skills, so that they can have the tools to work out that the WT is full of BS without your help."
Thank you. I've just ordered the book "Teach Your Children How to Think"
"Has the option of getting Professional counseling been considered?"
Yes. I've asked her over and over again. She refuses. I am the only one with a problem....and that problem is a spiritual one that cannot be fixed by psychiatry.......it can only be fixed with the holy spirit.
"Your motives need to be proved to her as having her and your children's best welfare at heart."
I know I got off on the wrong foot over a year ago.....and I was stupid about it. She lead me to believe that if I found anything that suggests that the society is not directed by God......she'd be the first in line to hear about it. I believed her. I look back and realize that she was just saying that because she truly thought I'd find nothing and come crawling back to the organization. When I actually presented facts.....her attitude changed and the shield went up. Ever since then she thinks I've just nitpicked. How do I convince her that I have her and my childrens' best interests at heart?
