This has nothing to do with my Facebook endeavors. When the elders visited us last week, they also discussed my father. My mother called them about him. He got drunk a few times. I have no problem with that, because I don't care. However, he does beat the shit out of animals. My mother fed a stray dog last autumn and when he saw her, he ran with a baseball bat to hit the dog. My mother tried to stop him and he tackled her and gave her a few slaps.
I was at college at the time but when I found out I was so furious I wanted to beat the shit out of him. Anyway, my mother wouldn't allow me to do that because she said seeing something like that it would kill her, as she has a heart condition. A few weeks ago, he kicked my mother's pregnant cat, almost killing her. I shouted at him "What the hell are you doing?! Killing the cat?!". He approached me and threw a punch. I grabbed him by the neck and lifted him from the ground. My mother immediately got between us and cried until we stopped fighting.
We haven't spoken to each other since. I hate the guy. He abused my mother and countless animals all his life. When she called the elders, I thought it might be a good thing for them. That they might talk him into chilling out a bit, to stop hitting animals. She also told them about his drinking, but that's irrelevant to me as he's not violent when drunk. Now, they called him tomorrow for a judicial committee. Will they disfellowship my father?
I wouldn't want that, because he'd blame my mother that would make things so much worse. I wouldn't even be able to leave home, out of fear that he might retaliate on her. I never knew the idiots would react so seriously. I thought my mother would just tell them about the fighting and they'd scold him for that, but no they took it to the next level. What do you think will happen? Can I threaten them with a lawsuit to prevent them from disfellowshipping him? Don't get me wrong, I want my parents to leave this cult, but not like this.
