This is so wonderful! 
If I recall you were with the JWs before, right? Was it your daughter that made you decide to leave? Or were you thinking about it before? Was it hard to leave?
Give it time... he might get used to it.

I had been having doubts about a lot of things in the religion for a long time. But I was 3rd generation JW, you can't just leave. Unless you accept that you will lose all your family and freinds when you leave.
My son decided when he was 18 he didn't want to attend the religion any more. And I knew my daughter was gay, so giving up both my children was just not an option for me. The marriage was bad, too. Very patriarchal, very controlling. I planned leaving for quite a few years. I needed to set up a bit of a support group for myself, luckily I had my best freind, who had gotten the boot from the religion a few years prior to me leaving. It was the hardest thing I've ever done, but worth it.
Her dad will never get used to her being gay - he's would not be allowed to. He speaks to her occasionally, but even that is generally on Saturday morning, when he knocks on her door and offers her the magazines.
