one of my babies was born with a potentially serious abnormality and an elders wife coming around and asking me if I had done something that would cause Jehovah's protection to be lifted from my baby!? Arrogant B.....!
Wow. Just when I thought I could not be surprised by anything a JW said or did. How hurtful.
Yes, I was just thinking as I drove down a street near mine, that no longer was a JW woman calling me, asking me to go to school to pick up her child or take her child to school , etc. No one calling me to come to the airport to pick them up or take them to/home from meetings and assemblies. Also, don't have to go clean the KH or pull weeds outside in the baking Texas sun with the few people that showed up to work.
Just one note. There can't be an argument with only one person. How about every time your mom says "You will be destroyed and the birds will peck out your eyes!" you could just say, "Really?" or "Oh.Well, then, I have something exciting to look forward to, don't I?" or something like that. Humor can help. But she is your mom, and take it from someone who has already lost one parent and the other is very old, you don't want a bad argument to be the last words said.
Your health IS more important than making your points heard. If you know it's like talking to a wall, why talk to a wall? When she starts talking the JW stuff, just say "I love you mom. Gotta go. Talk to you later, and hang up."
