Does Religious conversation Dishonor Family Traditions or Customs?

 This need not be the case. The Bible encourages respect for all, regardless of their religion. (1Peter 2:17) In addition, Jehovah's Witnesses obey the Bible's commands to honor their parents, even if they different beliefs. - EPHESIANS 6:2, 3.

Still, not everyone agrees with the Bible's viewpoint. One woman who grew up in Zambia relates: "In my community, changing one's religion . . . was considered an act of disloyalty, a betrayal of one's family and community."This woman came face-to-face with this issue when as a teenager she began to study the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses and shortly thereafter decided to change her religion. She says:"My parents repeatedly told me that they were highly displeased with me and that I was letting them down. I found this very difficult, since my parent's approval means a lot to me. . . . Choosing to be loyal to Jehovah rather than to religious traditions does not mean that I am being disloyal to my family."
