I attended the EXJW convention this last weekend in PA. While that in itself was an amazing, glorifying experience, at the end of it I called home to see how things were going. I spoke to my oldest. We chit chatted for awhile then he got quiet on me. I asked him what was the matter. He lowered his voice and said that the day before, his father had gotten an Email from grandma (my mother in law) and after reading it had begun to scream "Shes GONE TOO! Grandma left the truth TOO!!" and hurled his coffee cup against the window (which gratefully DIDNT break) and went to his room sobbing. I sat there stunned...I asked him to repeat it...I asked him if he hadnt misunderstood...he hadnt. I confirmed the information with my nonJW sister in law who has been sending her mom information about the Org and its bad translations and false prophecies for many months now. The one person that I believed would be the key to my husband finally leaving the Org, if he ever would, has all but been officially disassociated! I hardly know how to process this information. I know too tho, that she is suffering the loss of two of her children and probably three of her grandchildren in doing this...and she is married to an elder, so like me, is sleeping "with the enemy" at least in their eyes. I havent said anything about this to him...and he has not mentioned any of it since I returned home. But I know he and the remaining JWs in the family are rallying and circling the wagons to protect themselves from this new "apostacy" in their midst. So things are extremely tense. Please keep our family in your prayers, my friends, during this very turbulent time. Pray that the Org gets out of our lives (and yours) altogether so we can be a family again. Pray for God to give my mother in law the strength she needs now to endure the pain and rejection that will most certainly befall her. I hope we can all reach out to her soon.
