Apostasy Page #3

---

Well, so what's so wrong

with this world?

It says in the Bible,

that this whole world

is in the power

of the wicked one, Satan.

- I don't know about all that. It's mad.

- [Chloe] Yeah.

[Luisa] Yeah, well, you have to admit,

things happen that aren't right.

You know,

all these wars all the time.

And cruelty

to animals and that.

Do you know, in Africa, they

kill thousands of rhinos a year,

and they'll become extinct soon just because

of how greedy mankind is at the moment.

Aw.

Sad, isn't it?

I love rhinos.

- [bell rings]

- Uh-oh.

Get yourself wrapped up.

[birds chirping]

[paper rustling]

Look.

I haven't told anyone else.

- Mum...

- Shush.

Who's the father?

Is he a brother?

It's...

It's a guy from college.

Were you even going to tell us

if this didn't happen

that you were messing

with a worldly boy?

You should have told us.

Look what's happened. You've

let college go to your head.

I need you to start

bringing him to meetings.

You have to start

bringing him to meetings.

It's not gonna happen.

Do you love him?

Then you need to marry him and

start bringing him to meetings.

I can't, Mum.

[Ivanna]

It's the only way.

Have you even talked to him

about the truth?

He don't care.

I...

So, you've just decided

to forget everything?

[Alex praying] I know she still

has you in her heart, Jehovah.

Maybe just not as strong.

I did pray the elders

would see that.

[Elder Brian]

I'm sorry, Ivanna.

How could they

disfellowship her?

[Ivanna] But she still wants

to be in God's organization.

She's shown

little sign of repentance.

I don't understand.

[Elder Alan]

Maybe you haven't noticed,

but we can see, at this point, she's

really lost her relationship with Jehovah.

[Elder Brian] We hope she works

on that, really builds it back.

If you'd told us she was falling

away, maybe we could have helped.

- What should I do?

- Jehovah's direction

is clear about avoiding

any contact with wrongdoers.

[Ivanna] But she needs

help and support now.

[Elder Brian]

We realize it's tough.

You must keep any necessary

contact to a bare minimum.

[Brother Jatin]

It's true, Ivanna.

The less contact, the more it'll help

Luisa realize her error quicker.

- [footsteps shuffle]

- [zipper rasps]

[water running]

Alex.

[sighing deeply]

[engine starts]

[car leaving]

She'll be back.

[Elder Alan] Sixty pounds

for gas and electricity.

Water was twenty pounds.

And the hall cleaning

will be handled

by the Drakefield street group

this month.

One more announcement this week.

Luisa Whitling is no longer

one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Thank you.

[indistinct murmuring]

[Alex] Sorry.

- What's that about?

- It was probably fornication.
