I have never used one of these sites before but i am very scared and need help. I will tell you my story from the beginning...
Three years ago my 29 year old brother was killed in a farming accident. He left behind his wife of 9 years, a 7 year old son, a 4 year old daughter, three sisters and my parents. Our family had always been VERY close, my sister in law was truly a sister not an "in-law" and we were all devistated. One year after my brothers death my sister-in-law started dating a JW and 18 months after my brothers death she was remarried to this man and has become 100% JW. My family is Catholic and my sister-in-law was priviously too and we are scared of what is going to happen. The kids still go to a Catholic school but are practicing JW's, which is very hard and confusing for them, and my sister-in-law seems to be getting more and more drawn in to this group.
That is the background, now if you guys could answer some questions for me so i can better understand this religon we are dealing with.
1) Will the church pressure her to cut her ties to us? We love her and the kids very very much and do not want to loose them.
2) Is there anything we can do to that might change her mind about the church?
3) Why is there so many "secret" meetings and stuff they try to hide?
Right now we still get to see the kids and my sister-in-law a lot. She will still let us have b-day parties for the kids, but she is slowly starting to cut that sort of thing off. She took the kids to a different city for Christmas this year so they could not celebrate with us and is looking to move to another town. Please let me know more of this religon so that i can better understand what is going on. I do not know much about JW's and i am affraid of losing all that we have left of my brother...
Thank you...
