they were stopping by after just to say hello
Why did they even bother? They can say hello with a phone call.

NVR2L8 , my husband feels the same if I have any comment at all about the JW or Governing body or WTBTS, even a question. He immediately assumes it is a threat to his belief and an attack.....sigh...

JWs have been conditioned to think of family as expendable. You don't even have to be disfellowshipped for them to start treating you as excess baggage, as you have seen. Talk about "having no natural affection".

... she stubbornly refuses to engage in any discussion regading the WT organization in fear that it will lead to an unfavorable conclusion.
You could always try quoting scriptures and let Mrs NVR draw her own conclusions. You aren't critical of the Organization™, just the people who make claims about being Jesus' true disciples.
"I wonder if that's what Jesus meant when he talked about having love among yourselves? Would our next door neighbors recognize that as being true disciples of Jesus? Just thinking out loud, honey..."

I think it's a huge turning point when a person realizes the differences that exist between JEHOVAH & HIS WORD and the WT Organization.
When the two come into conflict............which do you choose?
Which would you have chosen in Ancient Israel? The pagan Levitical Priesthood that said to sacrifice your children in the fire to Molech...................or GODS WORD? Weren't the Levites God's chosen leadership in the matters of worship at that time?
Well, dear, time to go burn the kids.

I feel sad for your wife NVR to be treated with such a lack of family affection but if it helps her escape then all to the good. -
