So I'm on the phone with my friend, and to make a long story short, I explain that my brother in law is now not answering phone calls from his sister in reference to my parents in law. They were out of town, and my FIL became ill. The haven't been able to come home for a month now, and my sis in law has been working, her hubby has been working, and yet they have taken on the business while they are gone to be able to keep money coming in to cover medical expenses, while they are out of the country! This holy roller had initially spoken to her but the communication line is tight because she ran away with her BF 2.5 years ago and have been married ever since.
My friend is shocked because she knows this BIL, and says that there is no scripture, no translation, in any bible that says that you should abandon your family...especially in the time of need. She asked if we had spoken to him, I reminded her that he didn't speak to us either because we lived together before we were married, and I'm not a JW. A few minutes into the conversation she said again the she couldn't believe he was acting like this. I told her that I guessed in his mind he was doing the right thing. She said, "well he's not!"
Mind you this is someone who also hasn't spoken to her siblings because they are now "worldly", (her justification is that they are just not living right). She asked what his problem was with us (SIL and hubby and me) I reminded her of the history. She said, it's been 3 years!!! I couldn't believe she was saying this because she is very active.
Just wondering what everyone's take might be. Every little bit helps!
Thanks again guys!
