Do Jehova Witnesses turn family members away from other family members who are not witnesses?
No. Jehovah's Witnesses are very family oriented and do not try to break up family relations. They will refrain from participating in any religious observances their family may celebrate. Because they do not celebrate many of the holidays that come around during the year, they are sometimes viewed as turning away from the family. But mostly they are declining to participate. Jehovah's Witnesses do not smoke or do drugs. If other family members smoke or drink excessively or do drugs, they will not "hang out" with them or allow them to do this in their (the JW) home. In my case, when visiting me at my home, my relatives are very respectful and go out on my porch when they feel the need to smoke.
