Nambo, the more I think about it, I do believe that. Like Abel's blood calling out from the Earth. Abel wasn't alive or calling. It says the souls slaughtered under the altar, so I really think it means time seems to be taking a long time for justice to be done and those dead must remain dead a little longer.
I may have just awaken my mom, so strongly she is throwing up....

Yes, their spirits are under the altar (gone there after they died in flesh)... and they remain there until the appointed time ( a little longer ).
I'm sorry for the place you are in with your mother. I hope that she will be okay, and that the two of you will be able to have contact again.
Peace and strength,

Thanks. If it wasn't for her husband we would be associating and I just wouldn't discuss anything with her. I hope it works out.
It's sad how many people I see here for the rest of their lives had been cut off.

arrrg..... it's such a tuff situation. The ones I have the most compassion for is seniors. I wouldn't go there with them for obvious reasons.
I understand your mother is upset, but what about you? What about feeling horrible about being shunned by your one and only family?
I wish you and your mom well. At least your mom feels sick about not speaking with you.
My JW family is numb. I recently have no fear of dying. I have nothing left to lose. I have so much anger that they can turn their backs on me. For what? I smoked a damn cig while out of the org, and now treated like I commited an unforgivable sin with my family torn away from me? It's a horrible joke. But I will NEVER go back to the fruadulant WTS.... NEVER! After what I now know!
You do what you need to hon, because in the end you have to take care of yourself....your mom will survive.....she's conditioned......she'll either have you back.......or.....she'll continue to live in comfy world of fantasy....

While applauding the strong scriptural argument . . .
The strength of your argument, judging by the strong reaction, will demand equally strong rebuttal. One that may satisfy her can probably be arranged. The weight of the implications is a heavy object to move . . . and WTS's ally.
Unfortunately, even then, where it may lead is not dependent on this. It's a timing thing. Preserving your personal relationship should remain a key consideration.

Yeah, sorry: I missed the back-story that she likely didn't vomit because of the logic dawning on her, but likely due to the emotional stress of the situation.
It's easy to overlook the fact that shunning one's own children cannot be easy, and every cell of their body MUST be screaming at them, "WTF are you doing, rejecting the person you gave life to and raised and nurtured!" But they rationalize it away (with varying degrees of success), but that doesn't mean it's not incredibly stressful and painful for them, taking a toll on their emotional and physical health. It's sad for all involved, but remember: you didn't create the situation...

She said it after the part on the scriptures about the apostate teaching of teaching the resurrection having already occurred as an apostate teaching the WT teachers. I do not know for sure if it was a realization, or something else. I know a realization truth bomb would have the same result, but I haven't spoke to her since so I'm unsure.

Just noticed this item last night in Crisis of Conscience (page 189,190, 4th edition, 2004) where Franz quotes from the book The Time Is At Hand:
Thirdly, It will prove that some time before the end of A.D. 1914 the last member of the divinely recognized Church of Christ, the "royal priesthood," "the body of Christ," will be glorified with the Head; because every member is to reign with Christ, being a joint-heir with him of the Kingdom, and it cannot be fully "set up" without every member.
