My mother-in-law just contacted me and wants to get together and talk about leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I am a practicing Catholic and my husband is not practicing any faith. His family has been in the witnesses their whole lives and I am not sure how to help her. Any advice would be helpful because I know that they shun people and hate that she will have to go through that if she decides to leave but I am hopeful for her to because she has taken an important step in asking for help.

Thanks!
 
Praise be to God!

Be there for her. Pray. Pray a lot. Ask for the Holy Spirit to guide you in conversing with her.

I’m not sure how things look like exactly, but perhaps it might be good to have access to a priest, someone very accessible and easy-going, who’ll be able to talk with her. Or perhaps a good friend or family member who has some knowledge of JW and can help make the process easier.

I’ll keep you all in my prayers.
 
Agreed!!! Thanks be to God!:signofcross:

You being there for her every step of the way is improtant. Having access to the real truth, like the CCC, a priest, or even this sight, at all times, will be key when those times come that she may feel alone or confused. She has to seem confused w/ many questions.

God bless you all!!!
 
Pray - take things slow - don’t push her in any direction she has probably had enough of that.

I was a JW for 15 years. I understand fully the issue
She can just “walk away” quietly. That is the easiest way to do it.
If she has immediate family in it, it is far more difficult, but all things are possible with God.
