Yes I have to say Phizzy after reading some of the posts on here for the last month I am beginning to see that the doublethink that some choose to believe is entrenched. Like those of my family who have been in for decades.
My brother and sister, still in the JWs, can't have children. When I left, IVF was totally wrong because some embryos are always discarded and this was viewed as murder. Now this rubbish about donor IVF being adultery! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that. Now though, if my siblings were still young enough and didn't need donors apparently it is a matter of conscience! But they are too old now, that ship has sailed. New light, what shite! Yet still they keep trotting along to meetings!
This is not just academic to my family, not just another Watchtower article. The WTS views have taken away any possibility of my brother and sister and their partners having children. This has caused them terrible emotional pain. They have to bury their heads deeper and deeper in the sand to block out the pain of what waiting for that 'bus that will never arrive' has done to their lives. No wonder they don't want to acknowledge the existence of my daughter, their niece and they act as though she has never been born.
