Would You Like It If The Elders Called You To See How You're Doing?

I went through this a few years ago. It's a long story, but I will try to summerize. In 1991 I came back to the JWs. Married a JW woman with 2 small children. Three months later I fell on a construction site... ending up with a closed head injury. In about 8 months she gives me divorce papers. I left. The elders called us in, she said she couldn't take my mood swings anymore and didn't love me. The elders publicly reproved both of us, even though she admitted I was acting quite un-normal. One of the elders later actually agreed with me when I told him that it seems I was guilty until I could prove to them that I really had a brain injury. I was guilty until I proved my innocence!
Okay, left the lot of them... again! Several years later I'm ready to move on, so I call my ex and tell her I've had sex and I'll send the elders a letter. Soon after, I get a call from one of the elders. He says the Society has given them new info lately about head injuries and they would like to meet with me. I told him that all they did was kick me while I was down, and not to ever call me again!
So, no. I didn't like it!

I would love to have them pay me a visit. It could be like old times. They could share Bible scriptures with me and I could pretend I care. Like I said, just like old times.

There is a song that describes how I felt about this when it really meant something:
"It's too late, baby, now
It's too late..................But, we really did try to make it.
Something is wrong, and I can't go on....I just can't take it."
It may have made a difference at the time, but they didn't make the effort when I was in my late teens, when I was at a turning point, with questions. They were too busy trying to get people in the front door, and didn't seem to care that many confused and sad members were leaving by the back. It was too much about judging, labeling, shunning, and not enough about love and compassion.
Actually, I should thank them.
