Parent’s & the JW Socials
First , I was a born in and inactive and have been for a decade. I’m 30F and my parent’s are almost 60. My mom was a born in and my dad joined at 15. I was SA’d by 3 different elders as a minor and that didn’t wake my family up. BUT! My dad had some “thoughts” about Lett calling babies little enemies of God. I said nothing. My dad had more of these “thoughts” with the blood update and I said nothing. My mom never expressed herself during these convos. I never really wanted to risk being labeled an apostate for my opinions bc despite their beliefs they have supported me even after I left .
At their meeting this week they learned about the JW TikTok and insta . My mom texted me about it today and said ,
“ I don’t know how to feel about this. Thank Jah the comments are off!”
This is great bc if she’s not sure …then my dad certainly isn’t . He was an elder since age 25 til about 3 years ago . He stepped down for personal reasons that I don’t know. I do know he and my mother claim it wasn’t due to them sinning. I haven’t responded to her text yet bc Im not sure what I should do or say. I don’t wanna say too much. I truly DO want to open their eyes a bit more .
I’m not stupid enough to give them text evidence of my opinions but I will be seeing them in person in the very near future . I’d really like some help with what I should say when they bring it up to me in person. My parent’s have always been extremely strict/devout and I got in trouble for social media constantly growing up. My dad has even expressed his hatred of it in the past and lord did I have to read every article about distractions and how bad it was when I was a teen.
Please help me plant some seeds of actual truth without ringing their apostate alarm bells. I guess I’m just excited they are thinking and I don’t want to spoil it. Should I remain silent yet again?
