I brought up the blood doctrine before, she doesn't really have her info correct. I especially like that hemoglobin is approved but not red blood cells, even though it accounts for 96% of RBC's They only listen to what the org tells them about blood transfusions.....

I'm so sorry your mother kicked you when you were down. Mine gets meaner all the time too. Examples: I don't know what's wrong with you, maybe I dropped you on your head when you were a baby, you need to get right with Jehovah, that's why he doesn't listen to your prayers. My husband has an episodic mental disorder and she doesn't acknowledge it as a bona fide chemical imbalance in the brain. She told me, if you stay with him, you deserve everything you get!
Other than that, it's garden variety b.s. like she's going out in service today, she's leaving for the meeting now, this month's video was so, so encouraging. Soon now, we won't be living under these conditions. Bla bla, so irritating and just a way really to nag about what we should be doing (in their opinion.) They have no normal compassion for others, even family, if we don't go to the meetings. Jesus never said that was a requirement for loving our fellow man.

@VirgoChick..... are you sure you aren't my sister? That is my mother exactly. It's eerie how they are all stuck in this trance. If I call my mother she will tell me that she's reading the text and that the latest video was awesome and that I should really get right with Jehovah and sit down with the elders. Last time I told her I'll sit down with the watchtower conductor because last time I saw him is when I was removing porn from his laptop.
Guess what the latest videos aren't awesome, they all suck. You know what, I like Rick and Morty... I am in my 30's and I like a vile cartoon.... it's funny, I laugh a lot and laughter is great.
