*Perry, I came to my decision over time and observation. As they say, actions speak louder than words. The actions of JWs was deafening. I say keep watch for a crack and widen the crack gently with occasional questions or gentle observations then leave it. Let it settle and take root and grow.*
I am taking this approach with my wife and kids. I did share all that quotes had to say about the blood, vaccination and transplant policy because we have a minor unbaptized child; that was not a good day.
She has a seige mentality, and will NOT brook any open discussion of facts or ideas if they conflict with her embedded beliefs about the truth, WT, elders and doctrine. It makes me sick and sad, but I know and understand why it is; I was there for so long too. The evidence about corrupt child sexual abuse is what sent me looking on the net, and that was that, as they say.
If only I could inspire the same curiousity in her; I HAVE adopted the plant a seed policy, blondie.
