Dear Free,
I understand why you would be asking this, since some already have their friends and family out. Or have been the only ones in. However most have someone still in they love. By staying abreast of what is going on gives us the ability to be able to try and reason when we can with them on various subjects. All with the hope that one day they may actually stop and say, "Your right, this DOESN"T make sence." I know from my own experience that my Grandmother who is still in, is still hangig on to the fact that my Mother still asks for the literature. (My Mom only gets them to stay ontop of whats being taught to our family that is still in.) So she keeps that line of communication open, to a small degree. However, she allows me to get by with talking with her alot more. Many times it has come in handy reasoning to her from the latest comments in the literature. Although I do not go to any meetings anymore, I know some do just for their mates, or because they are fading. Count yourself the "lucky" one to be able to just brush yourself off and "walk away." I am sure there are many who wish they could do just that. I myself included.
Sincerely,
Lady Liberty
P.S. We have been able to help quite a few out because of using the literature to show them. Because the most damning evidence is their own. So personally I want to have as many "tools" to help as possible.
