You have Jehovah's Witnesses defined for the most part. He told me that he would rather truth and be miserable for the rest of his life than be living a lie and be happy. I don't want to force him to do anything, only give him the tools to do it himself.

I see what you mean, but my Dad doesn't have any real friends, so it won't effect him that much. The only person he has is basically me. If he is out of the religion, his conscience will allow him to meet friends outside the religion. He is depressed because of issues directly related to the religion.

I agree. But I have to at least try, right? I agree. But I have to at least try, right?

I wrote about this at SciForums. Did you read it? Thank you. I believe he will be much happier without this religion. He is not happy now, and he is depressed because of this religion. It is not helping him at all. He is stressed and it will only get worse, I'm sure. As I've said so many times now, I only want to give him a chance. If he is not reasonable, then so be it, we tried, but he should be given a chance. For you to say he should do what he wants in life is like saying that to that one gay kid who committed suicide because of bullying. Maybe you could save someone from committing suicide if you get them to see the truth. By truth, I only mean logical thinking, not atheism as in "There is no God. Period." Obviously we don't know that. I'm just saying truth as in what we know currently. Thanks guys. 1. He would never ever ever go to a course about evolution. He is brainwashed to think Jehovah's Witnesses is God's only true religion and everything they say it truth. They also teach that Yoga leads the way for you to be attacked by Demons, lol. I doubt he would even go to a science museum. He rarely wants to go to the movies, much less a museum, haha. 2. I agree 100% with you. I only want him to get out of this sect which is obviously not the truth. Whatever he believes after that is fine. I cannot have any meaningful relationship with my Dad if he stays in this sect. I will basically lose my Dad and everyone I love. Oi.

He doesn't know my position. If he did he will disown me along with all my family and friends. That's why I can't do this myself. My dad is totally oblivious. He did no research into this matter, because it is not readily available to him. If he saw that there is no evidence of the Bible, unlike religion brainwashed him to believe, I am sure he will have doubts. I do not want to force him to do anything, if he is unreasonable then so be it, but he needs a chance, and he can't do that in his current position. I will transfer the GC when the person proves he is capable. If he is more respected on this forum, then that gives points. I can also give him the GC in the middle of the phone call. That way we are both protected. Thank you for your insightful post. =)

Hey, guys. I need help with my Dad. He has been brainwashed by the cult religion, the Jehovah's Witnesses, which I grew up with myself, of course, but fortunately came to my senses. I believe the right person can persuade him to see the facts. He is not too close-minded like a lot of fundamentalists. I've wrote about my Dad's story here, but found no interest in helping me: http://sciforums.com/showthread.php?p=2913996 I need someone to chat with him about religion, the Bible, etc. and see how it goes. If he is unreasonable, so be it, but I do believe his will be reasonable and come to his senses. I wish for you to record the conversation (I can help with this if you don't know how), and share it with the world. I believe this will help spread the real truth around the world. I will create a website around the audio files and we can split the profits (you can have access to the adsense account a long with me to be sure). I will also pay you in a $5 Amazon GC. I would really appreciate if someone could do this for me! I'll help with anything you want. Please message me if you feel you can do this, and be sure to visit the above link. It will also help the atheist community. - Mike
