Check out my mother in laws new THINKING...already the JWs have firmly replaced her ability to think for herself:
"Dear D" I just got your note today, since I was out of commission for a week or more. I wasn't "waiting to tell you," nor was I going to" jump back into shunning D." I just didn't think this was going to be happy news, and judging from your choice of words in this note, I was right! I have been going to meetings for a couple of months and have expressed a desire to be reinstated. Of course I am happy to contemplate the time when C and I will be together again, and I can talk to P and the kids. But if you think those are my only motives, you would be very mistaken. I thought of going back for C many times, and thought I could once, but it didn't work. I knew I would have to go back for the right reasons! (in other words, she would have to sell out or he wouldnt have her) Over the last few years, I have poured over the Bible, many Bibles - Daily! At the risk of sounding holier than thou (which I certainly don't feel), I love the Bible and believe I take it for my final say on what to believe. I admit I have been all over the place, trying to figure things out. I tried to be honest with myself and what I was finding. For a long time, I was just confused because I saw conflicting things. But through prayer and study, I believe I have finally come to the conclusion that Jehovah is the true God, and Jesus Christ is his only-begotten Son. That was at the heart of all my problems. I didn't have as much of a problem with other things. God was my biggest concern. I believe Jehovah's Witnesses are correct in their interpretation of who God and Jesus are. I like that! It amazes me to realize that I'm right back where I was before I started investigating and before I read all the anti-JW stuff. A couple of years wasted! But when I realize how much I have learned by the experience, I know it wasn't wasted. There were a lot of lessons to be learned. I wouldn't want to do it again, but I have to admit that I did learn a lot, especially about myself. I know that when I was OUT, I trashed the organization many times. But many times I knew it was because I was angry with being shunned. How dare them! Well, of course, we both know the scriptures are there! I hated being viewed as an apostate! But I was. The scriptures are there! I am not proud of my conduct over the last few years. I made a lot of mistakes. I am going to try and correct them. (She is so full of crap at this point, I could barely finish this) It is not my intention to shun you D. I didn't like it before, and you viewed me as a hypocrite then, because I hugged you and told you I missed you, when I knew I shouldn't. I don't think it will be any different this time. (oh yes it will...I wont allow her around me) You will find me a hypocrite again, probably already do. It upsets me to think that you will view me that way, but I honestly can't do anything about that. I will try to obey the rules (and whose rules are those? Gods??) as best I can, but love you as always, and hope to convey that as best I can under the circumstances. You are my daughter-in-law, the wife of my son, the mother of my grandchildren. I can associate with you on that level, I hope. If you would please shun the negativity, and speak kindly and respectfully of what I believe, I don't see why we can't still be family. I certainly won't try to correct you or speak disrespectfully of your decision to do what you believe is best. I'm sorry if the kids are confused. Tell them Grandma loves Jehovah and wants to serve him again. Tell them I think I made a lot of mistakes, and that I want to correct them. Tell them I love them, please. (Im not telling my kids jack shit...Im not her messenger) Love Always," Does this make your stomach turn the way it did mine?? Damn them
