I'm convinced that JWs are here to make everyone else appear more sane.
LOL, too true!

Even if I could afford it I would not give them 1 penny. Before I hung up on him I told him never to contact me again for anything. He would have to get help from his JW son or his JW family. The bank of Tyler M is closed forever to them.
Good for you Tyler. Glad you had the nerve to tell them no to their faces. Makes you wonder what goes through their head.

Tyler,
Good on you for sticking to your guns. That's just wack! Do these people have a clue how much pain they cause their own family?

Hey that's rich! Reminds me of an incident about 15 years ago. I was living in Alaska and one evening got a call from a nephew who wanted me to help him secure a chef's position at a fancy hotel in downtown Juneau. I was amused as he was open about being an active Witless but had "gotten permission from his dad, (my brother) to speak to me". I asked him how he could justify doing that when he wasn't supposed to have any conversations with a DFd XUU. He said it was "purely business". So, I told him as a matter of "pure business" I would not recommend him or help him with his quest as I did not endorse people with such a dual standard. They are likely to be duplicitous in their dealings with others and I didn't want my name associated with dishonest folks. Never heard from him again, but heard through the grapevine that I was "haughty". go figure!

Go and buy some nipple rings. Would be good for a laugh. You are obviously a wicked "worldly" person now.

I hope that you won't someday regret yelling at your father like that. Your parents are misguided but doing what they think they have to do. Only in the rarest cases of abuse and such, should a child EVER fell justified to treat their parent with such deep disrespect. They are the reason you can even enjoy a single breath for goodness sake. No matter what they do, you will always owe them for that. You can always respectfully explain your situation, point out to them their hypocracy and wish them the best. Love thy father and thy mother for it will go well with you. -Eduardo

In my years on these forums, that is one of the most ridiculous requests I have ever heard.
Welcome to the board, Tyler. You're among people who understand your parent's particular brand of crazy more than you know.
Boy, could I tell you stories about my crazy jw family...
hugs

Sorry Oroborus,
But do unto others.....
You are wrong. He is not a doormat. If one chooses not to have an open and honest communication structure with a family member then they are deluding themselves. Yelling while not a prefered communication method a lot of times makes the other party realize just how upset you are and how much you care about what you are saying, and thus opens the door of communication. If he didn't give 2 shites about his father it wouldn't have made him so angry.
Respect is granted but is not universal right. Perhaps you don't mind being an emotional doormat Oroborus, but certain behaviors are not to be tolerated regardless of familar relationship. -

Tyler M,
You have done no wrong, don't listen to Eduardo, he's a little off sometimes but well meaning.
Sadly this is not uncommon for dubs, it's ok to reat you like filthy garbage since your df'd but seems like your $ never attains the level of filth you will.
Welcome to the board

I'm all for JW bashing and telling them to stick it and not giving them a cent, but I couldn't personally yell at my parents for something like that. Although I am amazed at their blatent hypocracy, I think that it was a last chance effort that they were attempting. I'm sure it was something that they were really looking forward to and denying the money and explaining the reason for it would have hurt enough, let alone being blasted for it.
I'm sure most JW's think that those who leave understand and accept why they are being shunned and of course you MUST know that it's the truth. My point is, if (according to their thoughts) you understand and accept why you are being shunned, and you still believe it's the truth, why wouldn't you lend them some money to help them and your brother out. It's screwed up logic, but so is everything that is JW. They don't get it, and never will as long as they're in the cult.
I think the main reason I wouldn't yell at them is because if they needed something in the future, and I mean essencials, like food or housing, I wouldn't want them to be without and I know the KH wouldn't take care of them. I'd want to make sure that door was open. A JW considers a visit to bethel or an assembly an essencial, up there with food and housing. Again screwed up logic, but that's the JW's.
