My Mom Is Told To Not Take Food From My Ex Because She's "Disfellowshipped"

minimus

My mother told my aunt than my ex recently brought her some delicious food when she got out of the hospital. My aunt immediately cautioned her to not take anything from her or socialize with her since she is "disfellowsipped". My mom asked her who told her such a thing and she said, "Well, you know you shouldn't have anything to do with her. " My mother told her that she is still very well treated by her and will still view her as "family". This didn't sit right with my old auntie but who gives a sh*t!

min, are you saying that your ex-wife is df'd or that the family should treat her as such because she doesn't go to the meetings?

And what if your mother was in an emergency and nobody was around but your ex? And what if all of the so-called spiritual people in the congregation are on a cruise somewhere?

Should your mother starve? Would Jehovah be pleased then?

I think your aunt is carrying things to extremes here, Minimus. I'm glad your mum was sensible about it, when someone is old and/or sick, I would think any help is welcome. I wonder if your aunt would refuse help if she was in the same position?

She's not d'fd at all.

Then the auntie was nothing to stand on officially, min. Show me where inactive people are to be treated as if df'd in the publications. I don't have time but there are oodles of articles that say just the opposite that your mother could encourage her to come back.

Good grief! You should stand up to her Min! She is way out of line!!
These people need to be called on their unchristian thinking!

wow...didn't know you had an ex wife...when did that happen?

Most ex'es are treated well when they are loved by family whether it be their's or the one they just divorced from. Especially IF they were always kind to both sides of the family.

blondie

so, min, your auntie is handling the df'ings now in the congregation? Your auntie sounds tetched or just cruel. Isn't she the one that has tried to run your mother's life for many years? Controllers like to keep other people out of the lives of those they are trying to control.

So what kind of food did auntie bring over?

Sheesh, minimus. Everyone knows that when you eat Demonized™ food from a Disfellowshipped™ person, you become Demonized™ too.
