Every so often, I can get seriously irritated with Jehovah's Witnesses! Especially my daft as a brush parents.
One of my children has just moved in with his girlfriend. They're a lovely couple, both adults and happy with eachother. I'd rather they didn't get married yet, until they know eachother much better and don't have a problem with their sex life.....for god's sake, it's none of my business!
My father has just brought round the latest Wigtowers and Awake mags and pointed out the article, 'What if I'm invited to 'hook up?' He said he had heard that my son had gone to live with his girlfriend. I said yes I was very happy for them both. He then showed me the article and told me that people have no morals nowadays and do 'anything' just as Jesus said they would in the 'last days'.
I said 'stop talking rubbish!' This was coming from a man who has been JW for over 40 years, who still gambles at the betting shop and buys lottery tickets, swears like a trooper and treats my mother like a pile of poo!!!
If he had a zimmer frame I would have been tempted to kick it! Having said that, that day may well yet come!!!
Why can't they shun us like a 'normal' JW?!
