Apostate Networking (page 2)

My wife's large immediate family is all JW's...pioneers, elders, bethelites etc. However two of her siblings (and their kids) are shunned because they left the orginization when they were teens and went on to get educations, marry and have families of thier own. Some of my Wife's Uncles and their families are all JW's....pioneers, elders , missionaries etc. A total of 12 of their family members including grandchildren who were never JW's, are cut out of everything for simply not attending anymore when they turned 18.

At the big Family reunion recently, it was very noticable (especially at picture time), how all the older "worldly" relatives had all of thier kids and grandkids around them....Everyone of the JW's families were torn apart, many didn't attend not wanting to be shunned, others did attend but couldn't speak to eachother. One of the older Aunties point blank asked her JW sister in law (30 year full time poineer) in front of everyone, what the name of her new grandchild is. The JW sister in law didn't even know the name of the new baby or his 3 year old brother. The Auntie went on to talk about this sister in law's grandchildren and how cute they are and what a good mother they have etc. It was such a shameful thing to witness but it was really telling about how much damage has been done to this particular family. These are kind loving and good people who all used get along with and love one another but the religion has broken them all up and it has been going on for decades. Such a bad Witness....no one is impressed with this kind of religious devotion.

The dent they put in the "pie pan" of this family is far reaching and won't ever smooth out.
