I know how you feel. My mom sort of dissapeared mentally and all she could do was talk about the "truth". I mean it. It ate away everything she was. She wasn't outright mean but kind of sugar-coated arsnic. It's all poison. I took care of her and was with her when she died. The cong she had been in forgot about her. assh..es. Those NY guys should be nailed to a pole/cross/xylon whatever they dub it....they deserve it.
RANT! Old JWs make me so mad!

The religion as a whole, and some of the people in it, are bullies, plain and simple! Try not to let it get to you.

My grandmother and her sister were masters of the guilt trip and the cutting remark. My grandma's favorite line was "what will people think?" - no matter what I said or did, it somehow would reflect badly on "the family". I think part of my attraction to the witnesses was the knowledge that becoming a dub would give me a lifetime free pass from dealing with the holiday bull**** they wanted to inflict on me. I wish I had just grown the balls I needed back then rather than joining the borg.

If the baby shower was a month after the baby was born, I'll bet your granny would be busting the door down to be there!

"Find the watchtower that says it is OK to leave the religion of your parents and tell her" I read in the Watchtower it is ok to leave the religion of your
parents if you find out they are not teaching the truth so I did"" So awesome.
One of the mein turning points for me was when they maid me give a part on respecting your elders on stage. They picked it I am sure becouse I call the elders by there first name even when they have asked me to call them brother this or brother that. I was sick of that crap and it got me searcing agien. I think humens are humens and should be treated kindly but only given the amount of respect they decerce. There are a lot of crapy people out there that do not decerve resoect despite there age. Others well earned any respect they got even at a young age, Nicala Tesla is one good example.

The Pope and governing body are examples of who not to respect. :-D but I would still treat them kindly. Like say one of the GB opened a door at a store for me I would say thank you. But I would not obay there instructions past what I would have wanted to do by myself. For instence if the pope asked me to open a door for him I would do it becouse I would do it for anybody, however if he asked me to call him father I would be like you are not speshiol get over your self and leave me alone.

The comments by the old JW are so typical. It is frustrating trying to be nice to people who are so delusional.
