Mom Says She Probably Won't Go To Daughter's Wedding If Off Pioneer List

minimus

My mother told me the other day that if push came to shove, she probably wouldn't go to my daughter's wedding if she knew she would be removed as a Regular Pioneer. She said that pioneering was something she chose to do over the last 40 plus years. If my daughter chose to marry an "unbeliever", then that was her decision.......Obviously, some things are more important. The funny thing is----she knows that one of the elders and his wife will be there with bells on.....Go figure.

Maybe he is willing to give up his eldership!

Mini,

I loathe to say it....but I will...

Tell your Mother that it is unfortunate that she will not be there, that it is odd for her not to be....but the wedding is your daughters special day and it is best for all that only good thoughts prevail.

If she has planned any negative energy, then best that she stay home and pout....send her a video instead...

I am sorry for saying it Mini, but I have grown fond of you and yours, and I just don't want your daughters special day marred by stupid drama....

hmmm, remember that scrip we used to read all the time to the "worldly" people? How did it go?... "no natural affection..."

Sorry Min and daughter. WT sucks. Just a thought, so your mom loses her "title" for attending her granddaughters wedding, does that mean she can no longer do her 70 hours for ~~Jehovah~~ WTS? Anyways, she's a woman, just what exactly does her title of Pioneer get her, besides status? So is that status more importance to her than seeing her baby grand-d get married? Sad, sad, sad. WTS sucks people's natural love and commonsense right out of them and replaces it with... what, exactly?

I hate this dumb J.W. interpretation crap when it happens.

I agree with Little Witch on this one. If your mom is not going to go then so be it. Your daughter does not need negativity at her wedding.

I feel badly for all of you. Dad, daughter, and grandmother. See how controlling some elders can be to the point of even re-interpreting their own rules.

Hope you have the whole thing video taped for your mom.

I also agree with odrade when she said,"WTS sucks people's natural love and commonsense right out of them and replaces it with... what, exactly? "

The answer is they replace it with "FEAR!" and GUILT!...

sincerely

They're all stressed out robots who don't get pleasure out of anything -- they just feel less guilty if they're tired all the time and doing the have-to's of their mundane little lives.

Min, do what is best for your DAUGHTER. As far as it depends on you (pardon the Scripture), let her have fun on her wedding day. It's a stressful enough life event without other things getting in the way.

And I hope she will have an absolutely marvelous life with her husband! That's what really counts, anyway, not the few hours of pageantry.

Love to you and them,

Nina

How sad she doesn't want to take part in such a special day...all because of her "duty" to her god.

I'm sorry, Min. This must be very sad news to your family - and especially your daughter. Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions. I am sorry that this one will be boycotted for a very stupid reason. I have to say that I agree with Little Witch - turning the tables is a great way of putting it in perspective to your mother. And providing her with a video is a nice way of including her, even if she is snubbing you. It shows who is taking the higher road.

Despite this, I hope it is a happy day for your entire family and especially for your daughter.

My thoughts are with you --

Min, I can completely empathize with your grandmother. After all, its taken her thousands of hours of pushing WTS publications off onto the unsuspecting public to attain the guru status of "special pioneer". Who would want to give up such Godly status of "High Holy Yellow Journalism Sales Person" just to attend the wedding of Satan's Spawn???

You've really got to be more sympathetic with these poor abused JWs whom the whole world is focused upon with their wrath and satanic envy..

I am very sorry about that, min.

I know how I felt when my own mother told me that she wouldn't come to my wedding. She ended up coming, though. No other witnesses came, but I think she didn't look too bad for her return-visits who happened to be a lot of my guests. Or she just didn't want to miss her only daughter's wedding. I don't know for sure, but she was not nice after wedding until I had a miscarriage.

Are you sure that the elder couple will be there? For my wedding some witnesses said they would come, but they didn't. The only one, who came, was a parent of my student who didn't know I was DA'd. As soon as she found out that I DA'd, she had her daughter quit piano right away.

Min, invite a whole bunch of your mother's RVs. It is a good witnessing. After my wedding one of our guests, who knew the situation, told me that she felt so sorry for me, and shocked how cold and unChristian the witnesses could be.
