    Heh, did she have a doiley on her head, when she said that? If not, then she stands to be reproved for stepping out of her subordinate position in god's org. Apostle paul would not be amused.

    LOL....so true!!

    At least now it's all out in the open and I'm sure you do have the sense of freedom now.

    Wish you the best in the coming year....

    "...well, I can't say they are NOT Jah's organization, but I have lost some of the confidence I used to have in our teachings." This can open the door to discussions, questions, etc. In their effort to be "upbuilding" you can then express some of your concerns about some of the changes you've seen over the last 10 years.

    Personally, if I didn't want to answer someone, I wouldn't. If someone was trying to intimidate me to respond, I'd dig deeper. Screw them. And maybe I'd lie too and tell them I "LOVE" Jehovah's Organization. Use their own "theocratic strategy" on them.

    So JCs are made up of one sister now?

    My thoughts exactly. I imagine a woman like that would be hard to take day in and day out. It could be that some of the relatives will ignore her earnest advice and continue to talk to you. You never know.

    Good comeback, watson-wish i would have thought of it at the time but it would have just delayed the inevitable anyway. This is the same woman that when I told her about the UN affiliation, she told me that until Jehovah comes down from heaven in the flesh and tells her that the JW's are not his organization, she will support it to her death. And she will, no matter what, which is fine because it makes her happy and fulfilled. I do love her and for the most part she has been a great MIL, but she is a die-hard witness and always will be.

    the "matriarch" sounds like a nosy bitch and an awesome control freak. I wonder how many of the family are sick of her and her uber-righteousness.
