I find those website very very difficult. I've never had so much trouble in my life. Not sure if it's my phone or what but I can't figure out where to post there's too many options and can't figure out how to edit and just joining has taken me well over a year with random attempts.
My mom is a fairly new member. I assume this is for ex members that don't think highly of the group? What can I do to get her to see the truth? I have already gotten her the book Undertow. I would really love to hear from recent ex members. As her excuse now is, that was under the old leader. As if things are different now.
Also, try to keep lines of communication open between you and your mom. There may come a time when she tries to withdraw from you under pressure from leadership, who don't want their culties to associate with people who refuse to take "the class."
If you are a Bible student of any sort yourself, when she raises it, gently ask her how such-and-such a proposition (that TWI teaches) lines up with more accepted Bible teaching, or passages of scripture. If you need help on any topics, you are more than welcome to ask here. Whatever it is, we as a group are likely to have dissected it and rebutted erroneous parts. Not everything TWI teaches is wrong (especially at the beginning), but everything has a slant to it, that quickly turns into a slippery slope.
