We befriended an older woman that was previously a JW. She told us her daughters would not speak to her and had abandoned her. One day we were downtown talking with her on the street and she started bawling. Her daughter had just walked by the three of us, didn’t acknowledge her mom or look at any of us and just kept walking. It was one of the most heartbreaking moments I’ve observed. Fuck religion.
