In her first interview on our sister channel EXJW Critical Thinker, Gail shared the heartbreaking story of her father’s deathbed confession after serving as a Jehovah’s Witness elder for decades.
In this Hidden Struggles follow-up, Gail returns to reveal what happened next — how her mother cut her off from seeing her father before he died, and how no one in her Jehovah’s Witness family told her when her mother passed away. Gail only learned about her mom’s death by stumbling across her obituary on Facebook.
This is the devastating reality of being shunned until death — where Watchtower loyalty and the Governing Body’s Paradise promise can destroy family bonds forever.
