Should I give up?

Thank you Guy for your explanation.

Yes, that seemed to me to be a very good clear explanation. I asked a member of that Church, many years back, when I first started, what the reasoning behind it all was, and the idea was, basically, to "save" their families. Somewhat more complicated than that, but that was the first outline given me.

It is annoying when you have done research for years and have many documents to prove it all, and still get told "you are wrong and I am right" by a distant relative. Same for those who stick to common belief when common belief is rendered mute. Best not to take notice of blinkered people.
