    Oh my - I've held off, but was planning A year end email to the fam. What points did you make? Sending good vibes your way.

    Thanks Gypsy.

    Basically I told them I had cognitive dissonance and awoke to the reason of my anxiety disorder is being as such. 2 main points were hypocrisy and disfellowshipping acts that I have witnessed as well as the Child Pedophilia issues as why I know the org is not spirit directed by God.

    Just be prepared to hit them with some loving scriptures showing that the org teachings are lies as well, many times the bible is all they will listen to if at all.

    Stay with the pedophile issue that's a major stumbling and there is no support in the bible for the WTBTS's position.

    Hi ?evrything, What have you done to overcome their BITE control programming? Best of wishes that your family will love you more than the WTBTS.

    Please write about your parents reaction, so that others can learn from your experience.

    Peace be with you and everyone, who you love,

    Robert

    Good for you ?evything. All we can do is be honest and brave and true to ourselves in light of what we learn about that organisation which is that it is not, never was and can never be 'the truth'.
