5 days after the big showdown with my mom, she called me today. Well she is a bigger person than me - I certainly did not have the guts to do it.
We made a bit of small talk and then she brought up Saturdays discussion. She started by asking me what or who made me start looking at apostate websites... then she informed me that apostates are all people who were disfellowshipped or reproved and are now bitter and twisted. Then she went on to inform me that she had spoken to the PO and he had told her that the UN library is open to anyone, to which I countered why the had they become members, and she said she simply cant believe this is true... I told her about the letter which was off the UN website (thanks guys) and she did not want to see it! She also mentioned the pedo situation and if people are found to be guilty then they will be DF'd - but the responsibility is not on the elders to report it, that is the responsibility of the victim or their parenst. I disagreed... well it was all pretty pointless.
We did have a bit of a heart to heart wherein I told her some of my real issues with religion, which she obviously doesn't get. She ended off the conversation by basically begging me not to "close the door" completely - her and my dad care about me too much and they dont want to have to lose all contact with me.
I assume that she is basically begging me not to talk about these things again or disassociate myself, in which case they would choose the organisation over me (which is not unexpected)
I think I am basically relieved - I dont want to lose them so I guess I will just try and keep my mouth shut for now, and hopefully mom will not harass me again in future about all things JW so that we can avoid the sort of discussion that we had on the weekend... Maybe I am being a wimp, I just dunno!
