My father has been disfellowshipped for a few years. 12 to be exact. The way that the brothers treated him and the lack of love that they showed made me confront them and stand up for my father. Their lack of love also helped to jar me awake. Three months ago when I discovered the wonderful news that I'd been in a cult for the last 30 years and dared to show him ONE scripture - about the mediator and ask ONE question - where does it say that he is mediator for the 144,000? This has transpired (one of the many crazy things):
He - disfellowshipped as he was - went to the elders about me and how concerned he was about MY spirituality. Raising the alarm of the elders. Then he started attending ALL the meetings. Then he informed my mom and I that the demons had visited him in the night and tossed him around in his bed FORBIDDING him to go the the meetings. Convincing him all the more so that this was the truth. And I'm the one who is crazy?? He - then started shunning ME - did I mention he was disfellowshipped? Did I mention that I NEVER shunned him even though he was disfellowshipped?
The elders have informed him that he has been forgiven (how nice of them) and will be reinstated. I guess he got brownie points for handing over an evil and Satanic apostate.
I do believe my brain is melting. Anyone else see a hint of irony or is it just me cuz I'm possessed?
