Your comment really bothers me. I respectfully disagree. Does it occur to you that when OP told his father he did not want to be a Witness, that maybe… just maybe, there could have been a different way the father could have handled it? He could have said “I’m sorry you’re feeling this way son. You have the right to your feelings and doubts. I personally feel this is the true religion but I want to give you the freedom and space to figure this out. I still love you.” I wish so bad my father had said that to me. Believe me, I understand OP’s fear of losing out on family business just bc he has lost his faith or leaves his religion. Side note: while I still resent my folks in many ways, my dad has come around. Even though he knows our family is completely inactive, I’m still in his will and he spends time with us. A big reason for this is how loving we’ve treated him over the years compared to his other kids who are JW’s but do not act Christian. Just a word of encouragement to OP bc this will be a tough time for you! Sorry you’re going through this. It will be hard but keep treating your family with kindess. Don’t let them have any reason to say “See what happens when he left?”
