Persuading our families of the danger we're in

In Response To: Re: Pandering (tena)
On the topic of trying to persuade statists--those who like to see concentrated power in the government, who find nothing wrong with an ever growing police force, etc.:
I think we would do well to ask ourselves, how long did it take me to turn my thoughts around? Ten years ago, wasn't I believing in the establishment rhetoric that railed against the NRA? Didn't I still have confidence in one of the main political parties? Didn't I believe that America was a free country?
It took me a year and a half of reading on the internet to come to where I am today: re-awakened to the possibilities of freedom, and with the newfound ability to discriminate evil in the media and in the government.
My family thinks I am nuts. But, since they are my family, I think I should continue to try to persuade them, much as I would like to just give up (and for the time being I have). I say this, because it is the hallmark of people in so-called "cults," that they remove themselves entirely from their families, isn't it? This resembles my situation, and so that raises a red flag for me.
Shouldn't we remain dedicated to "converting" those nearest to us? Because if we can not persuade them, then what hope is there?
Of course, we must not listen to any siren song coming from our family members that tells us to go back to sleep, either! We must be strong, and we must try to encourage our family members to become strong, too.
There is always the possibility, though, that we will have to leave our families behind, if they prove intractable. There's no accounting for conscience, and Lot's wife will always be with us.
Though we are closely related, we are all truly individual.
