Gah, it's been a while since I posted here because at this point in my life, I feel as though that I pretty much have put the JW thing in my past and how I've expanded my horizons onto new issues and demons in my life, but I thought you guys would get a kick out of this story involving the JW's and how exclusionary they are.
As some of you know, I live in the Upper Midwest, an area of the United States that's known for its volatile and extreme weather, especially the wintertime weather.
I went to the KH to see my family because my brother who I've know made peace with was in town and I didn't really feel like waiting in my lonely house to go see my brother. But before I went to the KH, I was over at my new girlfriend's house. It turned out that my brother wasn't home, neither was my infamous mother so I asked for a ride home from my aunt. She said "No" because I came back from according to her, my "Worldly girlfriend's house " and she didn't want to "Encourage me in dating a worldly woman".
Now I thought that day that I was just going to walk a few blocks, not half a mile in temperatures of around 15 degrees F (From my rough conversion, that's around 6-8 degrees below 0 Celsius for our International users) so I wore just a leather jacket, no scarf or neoprene mask, a pair of gloves and a stocking cap.
So rather than dropping her nephew home from the cold weather, she decided that her faux spirituality was in danger from me being in the car because I just came home from being with a "worldly woman".
I immediately told the el-duh's about what happened and even the main el-duh at the hall thought that was absolutely disgusting. I told the el-duh that this was pretty much the reason why I don't attend. He understood and he was going to rip them a new one.
I miss you guys. Take care!
