My Mother Still Prays For Me To Come Back To The "Truth" Every Day! (page 2)

I took the mags, threw them in the garbage and put used cat litter on top of them. That was a small bit of satisfaction.

As for the IHBS offer, I totally ignored it. She has gotten more zealous lately. When she says it to me on the phone, I flat out say "NO". The way I say it pretty much tells her that if she pushes I am going to say something pretty rude.

While I want to keep my relationship with her alive and upbeat, I just can't handle the continual "Jehovah" crap. When I challenge her on JW issues, she backs right down and suddenly is busy/tired/ill. Never fails. So she knows I have info she can't refute.

One other thing I hear a lot of is "Look at all the creatures Jehovah created. Aren't they beautiful? He created so many beautiful things. All the creatures."

She has a real thing about "creatures". It has to be an Awake, psueso NatGeo thing. (puke)

Oh Elsewhere.

I have to try the "I'm praying to Jehovah for guidance" line and see if that works.

Anything to get her to stop. Seriously, some days, I cringe. Most days when I see her on caller ID. That is sad when so many here do not have a relationship with their JW families. I know that. Yet, when you do, all you hear is "come back, Jehovah wants you."

I envy you. And admire her missplaced loyalty.

She has a real thing about "creatures"
This made me laugh. When I was growing up a JW, I remember asking my mother what Jehovah looks like and she said "we don't know, he's a spirit creature." In my little mind, a creature was some kind of wild-eyed monster. So, if Jehovah is a spirit creature, I better be afraid...very afraid.

OMG, my mother has been doing that too. After you're through, please pass me the puke bucket.

Hey, I wonder if we are related?

Well you never know, maybe minimus will be re-dubbed.

No but really, it's a shame for your mum. But kind of sweet as well, no?

minimus

My mom always is hoping. It keeps her going, I think.
