Robert Karp replied to Justin Humphrey's discussion 'Need Help! Tell them now or later?'"Justin dealing with this or any other issue of great importance from a distance or virtually is not something I would recommend. On the phone they can always hang-up, on the computer not reply. I think this is something serious enough that you need…"

Andrea replied to Justin Humphrey's discussion 'Need Help! Tell them now or later?'"I agree with those here saying to deal with it as it comes up. There's really no need for a huge announcement, and bringing it up suddenly can worsen the experience. I was outed against my will by a family member...it came on suddenly and was…"
Steve replied to Justin Humphrey's discussion 'Need Help! Tell them now or later?'"I agree that there is no need to walk into the door and say "Hey, I'm an atheist". Are they type of people who constantly talk about religion? If yes, then it will naturally come up. Otherwise just wait until someone asks you…"
Jim Minion replied to Justin Humphrey's discussion 'Need Help! Tell them now or later?'"I told my family face to face but it would have been against my personality to do it differently.

Haywood Jablomi replied to Justin Humphrey's discussion 'Need Help! Tell them now or later?'"You know your family and can make a much better guess as to how they will respond than I can. Personally, I did not take it as something that needed to be "announced"; rather something to deal with as it came up. I never directly told my…"
Dren Asselmeier replied to Justin Humphrey's discussion 'Need Help! Tell them now or later?'"I chose to tell my close family here and there, but I have never told my grandparents.

Need Help! Tell them now or later?
I was raised as a christian and a few months ago I became an atheist. However the members of my family are all still believers.Currently I am in the USN stationed in Spain and have not been home in almost a year.So I have been trying to decide if I should tell them I'm an athiest before I come home, so they can try and let it sink in and accept it.Or should I tell them face to face and see what happens?Hoping all you people who have gone through this can give me some advice on which to do.

"Portland, but in Spain for a bit while in the navy."
"That was great man, I need to write that down and use it sometime."
"That video was great, I posted it also.
It really is a shame how ignorant people are. They don't allow slavery and fight for women rights, but they oppress gays still! How ridiculous can we be!"
