Thank you all for your kind responses.
I’m inclined towards suggesting to my wife to leave her mother alone and step in only if she’s being really hurt by the WT’s policies; but that at one point we will have to address with her our “inactivity” and disillusion with the organization. The downside to this is that she’ll represent the only thing fully attaching my wife and I to the WT organization, and it looks like she is going to be around for another 20 to 30 years… (And I really want to move on and don’t plan to live a lie or in hiding for that long).
The WT has done at great job at creating a system that virtually makes impossible to leave the organization without some serious collateral damage. Just as I was making progress in leaving together with my wife and basically achieving a clean fade (which has taken a lot of energy from me)…this new development comes along. I’m trying to see it as a small set back (so that I don’t lose my focus), which gives me more reasons to really really hate the culture of this abusive cultish religion.
Again, thank you all for all your good comments and suggestion, once again you are being of great help in this journey.
