well here're two reasons why i think they could do it:.
first, it's important to remember that they are deluded.

In spite of the fact that after 1975 there were many who left, I think in the long run, they still came out ahead.
They lost fewer after 1975 than they gained in the decade leading up to it with the false date setting.
That's growth in a religion that is currently not growing.
i'm interested to know if anyone has been to see a medium/clairvoyant since leaving jw's.

and b) what if it really is the demons pretending to be loved ones!!

i heard this is a website where you can ask fellow jehovah's witnesses questions that websites like jw friends will not allow you to post because they don't allow you to speak ill of any elder.
my aunt cruella de ville and uncle jaundice sent my grandpa (he's got dementia and grandma has cancer) a letter saying their going to force grandma and gramps in to selling the land my grandmother located back in the late 1970s, grandma is very smart and saw the potential for their land, she was very gifted seeing things others did not see.
in the 1980s my grandparents went to oregon to check on their daughter who was pregnant, they were appalled by the living conditions cruella was living and she was having to work even though she was heavy with child.. all of this started when my dad ran in to a elder at the grocery store and this elder told my dad that "the reason cruella and jaundice are shunning your inlaws is because their apostates and therefore have the right to shun them.
