I was around age 5 when my father allowed an Elder and his wife into our home for a bible study. My father never got baptized and left the religion completely when I was 12. He would tell the family that when he retires he would return to the religion. He never went into absolutely why he left, but I think it has to do with the fact he reported an Elder's daughter making out with a "worldly" guy, and it was my father that got lambasted. Or it could be he has four college degrees, and didn't want to be educated by window washers.
Anyway, 26 years later my father is now retired. He retired last year, but I forgot about his "promise", one he made several times. I called him out on it recently, to see what he would say. My mother and sister are still witnesses, but not very active.
"Hey Dad, remember you were going back to the Kingdom when you retire?"
His response....
"ehh well I got a lot of yard work now that I'm retired"
I wish he had that attitude 33 years ago.
