The photo on page 26. She noticed it and was wondering before I even brought it to her attention.
Why is it OK for the JW posing as the "worldly person" to wear a cross necklace? Aren't JWs suppose to destroy their crosses prior to becoming a JW no matter the monetary or sentimental value? Why can the Watchtower keep cross necklaces on hand as props? Isn't that supporting Satan and Christendom by buying one? (unless it was a gold chain and they photoshopped a cross onto it)
While she was questioning that, I sarcastically told her to just file it in the back of her mind and ignore it. We shouldn't be questioning. Then I went back a few pages to page 14 and showed her from a previous lesson paragraph 5 "By word or action, may we never challange the channel of communication that Jehovah is using today." She asked what page is that on? She wanted to read it in her own copy of the WT. I told her to read paragraphs 3-5, which she did.
After the meeting she asked a family friend about the cross. The friend didn't notice it, but now that my mom brought it up, he thought it was odd, too. He suggested she ask Brother Elder. She didn't. I told her not to bother anyway, she wasn't going to get an answer that made sense. I left the hall before her. She came home and told me that she ended up asking Brother Elder. He said he "didn't understand why they chose to do that either." I said "what else did you think he was going to say?", that "well, sister, that's because the Watchtower are hypocrites."?
Also, during the meeting I asked her "where's the pedophile is at?" I haven't seen him at the last few meetings. She asked "which one?" (there's 2 in my congregation). I said "the convicted one that you can find on the Internet." 'Ol pedo's been sick lately and not at the meeting. I said "I bet he misses coming here for all of the eye-candy." She said that "people change." I said "pedophiles are sick mentally, and its not right all of these people here with kids have no idea what he is." She agreed. But, added "well, at least I don't think he's allowed in service." I said "yes, they are. They're allowed to go to in service and even study with people who have children." She didn't agree that was right. But, continued trying to justify it so it would make sense to her. "All kinds of people from the world come into the truth."
So, anyway, little by little maybe I'll get her old rusty feeble mind working over time. I have over 30 years of mind control to contend with.
