Well...... now isn't that a catchy subject line. All this relates to the practice of shunning. You'll have to check my topic history to read up on my DF'd friend Dee. I am referring to her grandmother. Here's the story.
Since being DF'd 8 months ago or so Dee has lost her virginity, made several new girl friends, bought a pack of smokes, had one BF after another and discovered there is LIFE after being a JW. Now, I don't agree with all her choices, but they are her choices and would NEVER tell her what to do in helping to direct her at her young age of 19. The girl has 3 jobs so lazy is not her middle name. One of her part-time jobs is in a bar/dance hall. The tips are good and she likes working there. But, it is a bar and this apparently doesn't sit well with Granny the wrinkled JW. Dee never told Granny she was working at a bar after all Granny shuns her grandaughter along with her parents doing the same. Word got around (JW's seem to spend 80% of their time in other peoples business) to Granny about the bar thing. Granny takes it upon herself to go to where Dee manages a store in the mall and says....... how's it going? What are you up to? Where are you working? Dee says..... here and the other place in the mall. Granny says.........and? It's a small town you know. Dee says how would you know where I am working. The Granny reminds her "it's a small town". Then Granny left Dee's place in the mall. So Granny knows about the bar employment. Dee called her parents and told them she was working in the bar...... she said at least they would hear it from me and not my grandmother.
GRANNY.........HERE'S A WORD FROM ME. YOU BETTER BE GLAD I WAS NOT AT DEE'S PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT WHEN YOU STOPPED BY. YOU WOULD KNOW WHERE DEE WAS WORKING IF YOU DIDN'T PRACTICE THE GODLESS SHUNNING YOU CLAIM IS AN ACT OF LOVE. YOUR LOVE IS CONDITIONAL YOU OLD BAG OF WRINKLES. IF YOU WANT TO ALLOW THE WT TO CONTROL YOU, FINE. OTHERS HAVE DECEIDED DIFFERENTLY. LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE. ONE MORE THING GRANNY... KISS MY A$$... YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE GODLESS RELIGION.
I have never been and will never become a JW...... nevertheless, those sorry bastards can really get under my skin.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.
OT.........
