Last night my sister-in-law asked my kids why they haven't been attending meetings. She cornered them individually. She asked my son and he said no he has not been attending meetings and that he has been doing some research and that he didn't believe it was the truth. She said you've been reading apostate literature, he tried to tell her no that wasn't the case, she said well I won't be inviting you to anymore gatherings with the friends.
Then she asked my daughter (my daughter is not even baptised) if she was attending meetings she said no and she said the same thing about not inviting her places and that she hated to loose a niece. What a terrible thing to say to a kid.
