I recently married & my husband was raised JW. He decided when he was in his early teens that the religion, let alone any specific religion, was not for him. He never outright told his Mom, but went to the meetings less often while living with her and after he moved out (with me 8 years ago) has not gone since. The issue is that his mother is consistant on getting him to attend the JW meetings. She lives about 5 hours away, so she sends him Watchtower mags, Mapquest directions on how to get to the Hall, etc.He gets upset that she can not let it go. When she visits us she leaves stacks of watchtower mags. for us to read and get agrgumentitive with me if she sees me reading science based books about spirituality (whch I happen to find interesting) or sees a movie like Lord of the Rings laying around.I feel like every time she has to come over we have to hide our life from her because she upsets so easily. What should I do? I feel religion should not be pushed, but personally chosen.
What if my husband is terrified to talk to her about it? She has had MAJOR depression in the past few years and he is worried that it will be too much for her to handle. I feel that we are just leading her on by not saying anything.
