I'm a JW, and tbh I've seen some wild things too.
Just keep in mind that we are not all fanatics and force people into religion. It's mainly an American thing, cuz everything is always crazier in America.
Yet, we do "knock on doors" for a reason, which is that it's asked in the Bible. Yall are allowed to listen if you wish, or to insult us if you wish too. To be honest I'd be annoyed too if someone woke me up a Sunday morning to talk to me about God.
About holidays, we don't consider they are "demonic" or idk, we just don't celebrate them, except Easter where we recreate the last meal of Jesus, again because it's asked in the Bible. For other holidays, we don't celebrate them but we indeed know how important it is for other people, which we respect. I personally couldn't ask to be respected as a JW if I wasn't respecting other religions.
If you've read this, feel free to upvote, downvote, or just scroll away. I don't really mind

I'm sorry for you. I know some people in your situation, but they didn't went as far as you. They did not completely cut the bridge with their children, but just restricted the relationship.
