My husband has left Jehovah's Witnesses....and we are wondering how to handle his family that are all JW. I would love to hear how some have handled this. He is now nondenominational Christian...as am I...I was raised Catholic though, so I have family issues too, though no where near the amount he does.

Good point... I should add that his sister is a pioneer and his brother is studying to become an elder. I would love to be able to save them all but I don't know how easy it will be. It's sad, they are kinda brainwashed. When you challenge a doctrine, they spit out the same phrase. I know that they are good people and they truly believe that they are doing the right thing. That is what makes this so much harder.

He is disassociated, not disfellowshipped. I have HAD bible studies with them, and I am well aware of the difference. I don't understand why you think I would post the congregation name though. Of course i know it, but I'm not going to post it! Furthermore I welcome posts from both anti witnesses and witnesses. But I'm guessing that a current witness wouldn't want to tell me how to handle family members, so you've confused me there too. Were you under the impression that I was a JW asking how to handle a family member that left? Sorry for any confusion. I am just looking for as normal a life as possible and am curious as to how others dealt with this.
