I was shocked, even though I have been "inactive" for the past 15 years. I readily believed it, but my parents' (50+ years for mom, 35+ for dad) response was insane. I told my parents about all of the proof -- the letters from the U.N., the Guardian article, everything -- and their reply was unbelievable. First, they said, "You can't believe the internet." Then, when I said that a major newspaper wrote an article, they called it "one of those papers like the National Enquirer." Finally, when I said that there were letters from the U.N. confirming the WTBS was a UN NGO, they said, "Of course there are letters. That's Satan's organization and he will use those demonized people to manufacture false accusations." I am afraid they are too far gone. On some level, though, I think that it would be sad for them to lose their faith at this late stage. They have lived their entire adult lives for the WTBS and would have nothing left if their religion failed them.
