Well, my mom came down for a visit...she was her for about 9 days. She mostly got to spend time with my kids, since I had to work, and was away for 4 of those days (she came down at this time partly so I could go away with my husband for a short trip).
Now, my mom is one of the sweetest people in the world, but a die hard JW. There is a hall about 1/2 mile away from me, so I made sure she was able to make her meetings while she was down here. Out of respect for her of course.....
Anyhoo....the first Saturday after my mother was back home, my son aswered the door to two gentlemen wearing suits. They were looking for me, they told my son that they had met my mother at the hall last week, and that she had asked that they come by and talk to me. Well, it wasn't that early...but 9:30AM on a Saturday sure feels early when you have up most of the previous nights working on a project....so I was still snoozing. My son politely told them I was asleep..,of course he then came and woke me up to tell me who was at the door.
I was pretty mad. I made it clear to my mother a while ago that I wanted nothing to do with the religion, but that I respected her decision, so I never interfer with her going to the meetings, or try to pull her out of it. I also thought I had got it through her head a year ago that I would not even discuss religion with her or any other witnesses...if I did, I would certainly be labeled an apostate for sure. The only reason I care about being disfellowshipped is because I have my mom and a brother and a sister that are witnesses, and still a couple of people who are still witnesses that I care about.
I am still upset; I move over 2000 miles, try to start a new life, and FINALLY feel free to have xmas decorations up outside of my house, and to be open about my non JW life....Had I known that she was going to pull this I would have never told her where the hall was.
Okay, I am done my ranting...what is a polite way to tell these guys when they come to the door again to go *%#^ themselves? I am wondering how vigilant these guys are...would they try to df me down here even thought they do not know me? Also, I have not talked to my mom about it yet...I don't want to make it a big issue, should I just say nothing unless she brings it up?
