ya thx. by the way not my sister... my sister is younger and doesnt speak to me.. this is someone who calls herself my best friend... i thought best friends were supposed to llove unconditionally. but aparently a matter of religion is an overbearing condition that one cannot get past. oh and i know about the guilt that is all that anyone has said to me about the whole thing is how guilty i should be. as if the fact that others feel bad should be the determining factor in choosing a religion... i should make a way of life for myself because i might hurt someones feelings... that is not me..
I had a good friend who eventually tried the same kind of crap with me. His wife was giving his 17 kinds of hell for communicating with me. So, I wrote him a letter that harkened back to some of the times in our relationship. Eventually, I told him "I always thought our relationship was more than a shared faith...that it transcended a common belief." I went on to recall specific times when I was there for him as a friend when other witness "friends" had abandoned him or had no advice to give him other than the empty scriptures they always fall back on. I then told him that it was his choice wether our friendship continued. I told him (in so many words) "when you get your head out of your ass and quit bing a morally superior prick, you know where to find me. I'll always be your friend."
His cold shoulder treatment lasted about 2 months and then I got a letter from him apologizing and asking me to forgive his being such an a-hole. To this day, despite his wife's cautions of me being "bad association" he still calls me...especially when he's down or having marriage problems because as he's said I "really talk to him, not pointing to the bible or a WT publication".
You never know, chellechelle, things can change with an individual.
By the way, Welcome to JWD.
