  "In a human moment before Jehovah grabbed her"

  by truthseeker in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i often wondered how far back the witnesses had been involved with my family.

  my grandmother died at the end of 2013 and while going through her photos we found some of my great-grandmother, dora, who was born in 1901 and died in 1994. there is a photo of dora dated 1946 standing outside her house in east riding, yorkshire.

  on the back of the photo her husband had written "in a human moment before jehovah grabbed her".. my great grandfather, who died before i was born, did not like the witnesses.

  Here's an interesting update about my family involvement with the JWs.

  I recently discovered medical records regarding my great-uncle's admission to a psychiatric hospital in 1959. He was 20 at the time and the entry for religion had "Jehovah Witness."

  It seems my grandmother got her mother involved, and her brother (my g-uncle) and this would have been around 1958.
