    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.........

    Your young friend has more problems than just a stupid grandmother, imo. She does need some advice and guidance. If you as her friend will not give it who will?

    The thread is about Granny and shunning. It isn't about the choices Dee has made. If though, you assume that my NOT telling her what to do is a lack of guidance, then you are wrong. Nevertheless, she gets to make whatever choices she wants and she and she alone gets to live with whatever the outcome might be. The last thing she needs is someone TELLING her what to do. She has the JW's for that.

    Crap! A pack of smokes, a few different boyfriends and work in a bar hardly constitutes a profligate untamed lifestyle in this day and age. OT is exercising wisdom in letting her find and set her own limits after a repressed childhood and adolescence.

    Down Under Man............. you left out the "losing her virginity thing". You are right though........ she has to set her own limits and has done so with the sex thing at the moment. She has "swore off boys" for the moment and is happy in making new friends that are girls. She knows my background and the fact that sex can result in unplanned rug rats. I became a father at 18 and the child was given up for adoption. She's 32 now..... Dee knows the dangers.

    I did not say you should tell her what to do. If you're giving her the best advice you can then that's great.

    A "repressed childhood and adolescence", as you put it, is just the circumstance that requires some good advice and guidance from a mature friend. As for the "crap" that is your opinion and I'll take it as such.
