I must be remembering events out of order than.
I mean no disrespect to anyone. Sorry if it came off like that. English is, in spite of my impeccable use of the built in spell checker, not my first language.
I was merely trying to make the point that how you view Autumn is going to heavily depend on what your perspective is on religion and religious people. And that my perspective as someone coming from a country where for various reasons religion fell out of fashion during the later half of the last century a lot of what americans see as normal is seen as very much not.
Like for example it is my understanding that in america going to church every sunday is the norm. At least in small towns and such. Where I am from that sort of thing is the purvey of people we would label as religious fanatics. Or like really old people born before WW2. Most of the people I personally know that consider them self Christian don't even go to church on Easter or Christmas.
And thus groups like the JW who are more religious than most are genuinely, no exaggeration, seen as "dangerous sects". I am not making absolutely no exaggerations when I say that growing up the JW were on the list of groups parents would warn us about right next to satanists. It was like "don't do drugs, don't get into cars with strangers and don't talk to sect members".
And that's the world I grew up in and the perspective I have. So you can imagine that running into Autumn for the first time felt a bit different than what most of your audience would experience.

This said, actually going through her arc has lead me to believe that even religious fanatics are people deep down and can be reasoned with. So there is that.
