This is exactly what the witlesses wanted. The mother fought for the children just like the religion wants, and now she has them. The crooked lawyers (the same ones that are in place to plunge the whole world into the Second Dark Ages when the time comes) made sure the children were going to be raised as witlesses, and nothing either they or their aunts/uncles say or do will extricate them from being raised as witlesses.
I am sure this is going to be a disaster. Michael's death was enough, but nothing that doesn't happen in the world. But, now they are going to lose all their fun on top of that. They will be wasting all of every weekend, afternoon, and vacation time out in field circus. They are going to be dragged to the Kingdumb Hell to sit still for hours at a time. No more fun vacations for those children. No more Christmas or birthdays. No more having plenty of time to work on homework. No more going away for the weekend. No more nothing--except boasting sessions, reading that f***ing Washtowel and Kingdumb Misery every week, field circus, and worrying about everything in the world being demonized.
If only Debbie would have gotten the children--or Aunt Janet (who, I understand, is disfellowshipped and not interested in going back)...
