The problem is that she does not know any other ways to "contact" the Lord. In the LRC (at least in my locality), prayer is not a dialog, conversation with God, but rather a mantra, authoritative command, and a vain repetition with a loud voice. But as I said earlier, my mother-in-law still loves God and, probably, more than I do. "Blessed are the pure in heart".

How can we judge a person inside a system like that? We cannot. John even wrote, I think, about such situations.
"Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’ " So you and I cannot impose any other burden upon your mother-in-law, or your wife, or anyone for that matter, if the Lord will not.
But we can decide for ourselves what is truth. And if the system tries to get us to reject the truth we can reject the system.
