About two months ago I got in the mail a wedding announcement for my cousin who lives way north of here. She would actually be considered my second cousin, I believe. Her dad is my first cousin. His dad is my uncle who is my mother's brother. His wife, my aunt, died about two years ago almost.
So anyhow, I was trying for the life of me to figure out why I would get that announcement. I figured that they were just being nice and letting me know she is getting married.
Today I got an invitation to the wedding shower.
Now mind you they are all jws. Strong, zealous jws.
Obviously they don't know I da'ed, let alone am just not a jw anymore.
Going along with that, my husband heard from my mom's neighbor that she was out to dinner with my mom and this uncle of mine and as they were in the parking lot, a woman from the kingdom hall came running over to the vehicle to say hello. Whilst they were speaking this woman from the kingdom hall says to my mom: "Tell Meagan I said hello!" So, my mom gets all teary eyed shakes her head and the woman says "You can still talk to her you know." My mom continues to shake her head and is still teary eyed.
What the heck is going on???? This is odd. Quite odd.
I am Not going to this shower, I am Not going to do anything with this invitation other then respectfully decline and send her a gift. And after that...
I can't believe my own family doesn't realize what is going on!
This is really the twilight zone now.
