So as I've written about this before. An old friend of my late husband's suddenly contacted me out of the blue after over twenty years of shunning and we started writing. I didn't know why she contacted me but I thought perhaps something had happened in the organisation to make her think, which is why I came on this forum in the first place.
She kept talking about her religion and basically 'witnessing' to me and I replied with just how long are we supposed to wait when it's been nearly 100 years since Christ came into his Kingdom. She replied with the usual comments about we're not serving Jehovah to any specific date and it wont be long now. Anyway she said it doesn't matter how long it is because we have such a moral way of life!
Well that really pushed my buttons so I wrote about the pedophilia in the religion and Candace Conti in particular. I thought she would ditch me after that but she replied after about six months with no mention of the Conti case at all. Really the whole letter was about her JW friends and how she valued them and what wonderful loyal people they are.
So I suppose that's what it comes down to with many long term JWs. They are presented with facts about this religion on TV, the internet, through people they meet in FS but they would prefer to stay with their friends. I was gobsmacked that she didn't mention the Conti case. Talk about the elephant in the room!
