    Fabulously written. I wish I could say it would be read... or if read at all, not be read defensively by the cult personalities.

    Regardless, I understand why you wrote it, all too well. Good luck to you.

    Love,
    Baba.

    Wow, you wrote two books that more or less trash the JW's!! While I don't approve of shunning just for disagreeing with JW doctrine, I can kind of understand why they treated you like this. What do you expect when you publish books attacking their religion...hugs and kisses?

    I saw myself saying every word of that letter to my own family members.....it's exactly how I feel and I couldn't have put it any better myself. Hope it's made you feel better getting it off your chest.

    iknowall, it was good getting it off my chest. As you mention flipper, I delibrately stayed away from debating doctrine with them.

    It is hard to reach past years of indoctrination by the Watchtower. And as the saying goes, you got to kill them with kindness sometimes.
