I was wondering if anyone ran into a weird talk or situation like this...
A neighbor of mine (a nice one) who is a Jehovah's Witness was in the hallway of my apartment complex... She has breast cancer and having many problems. Her 30 year old son has a very severe case of Skitzophrenia (spell error sorry). She told me... and I almost fell to the ground in shock. That the reason for all the illnesses in the family was due to her husband's apostate behavior before she had her son... She was told this by a "Elder" or Council they have. Now, I have studied the Jehovah's Witnesses and talked and had studies in the very far past about it and read many of there "AWAKE!" or "Watchtower" publications.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this sort of behavior of the JW's?
NO WHERE have I ever seen it in there literature or anything.
I just wanted to give her a hug and tell her everything is not his fault and that this is a medical problem. She is very "devout" per say but she is really open (unlike most I have met) about talking with secular topics. She of course is very conservative in nature (not politically cause they don't participate in that) but suprisingly she is by far the nicest person in this town.
So has anyone from ANY religion ever heard this load of bull?
And if you have any way I can comfort her without pushing my super views on religion? I drive her to the food bank once a month and help her carry groceries but feel I should do more.
Thanks
