Earnest
I have been rejected by the Witness members of the family since 1988 and my sister almost as long, although my father had visited her a few times, as she was "only" disfellowshiped. In later years, however, he had rejected her totally.
Is it possible the congregation were acting on the wishes of Rud's father ?

Very likely, but the father would have been heavily influenced by the local elders as well as the worldwide organization. I have relatives who loved me one day and despised me the next, on the day they found out that I had left the organization. One of the closest even shrieked when I greeted her as we passed by in a department store. Most JWs take it very seriously that they will end up condemned by God if they dare speak to someone who is a baptized former member, especially one viewed by the organization as an apostate.
