to avoid boring you all ( as if this isn't getting a bit redundant already ) i have edited bits and pieces of the best parts of her first e-mail , and his return e-mail, and her last e-mail after his reply so you can see what went down in conversation .

thanks for reading, here is his mom on sunday night .

Yes, Jehovah does love mankind in general .

In general? WTF? This is an excuse to kill certain people.

He loved the world so much he gave his only son so mankind could have a chance to live again. I hope that clears things up for you.

Yeah, as if we could ever forget....

I choose to see the inherent goodness in all of us. There is a change underway Mom. We are breaking free from the few evil individuals who choose to oppress the masses . I choose to help this shift . Humans are not helpless !!! We can change our reality, but it takes work ! It is simply a lie that nothing can be done to change the way things are !!! If we rely on someone else to do things for us, we will never make any progress towards a better existence . Change for the better starts with each and every one of us !!!

Sounds as if I could learn a lot from your son.

Your son is a good writer, and this first letter was very good. It used tact but was also firm.

Now if I would of just thrown you in, you would not even be here to talk about your expererience .

This is sad, it shows a complete denial of an amount of cognitive dissonance I don't even want to imagine.

Jehovah gave so much

Except compassion and mercy... wasn't Justice one of his "Four Cardinal" principle attributes? Killing 6.8 billion for the actions of 2 seems like the reasoning of a God I want nothing to do with.

Have you even thought about your own children, would you feel safe telling your own daughter that all people are loving and hang out with whoever ?

Holy S+it! Wish I'd been given this chance. My life would be... *sigh* ... much different...

please remember son, the Bible guides my life.

Yes mother... that's the problem...

Should my son let her stew? Reply again ?

I think he and she have both made their premises known to each other. Thus let it die down for now I would say. As others have mentioned, his emotional and mental stability are important. I envy him his, and wouldn't want him to lose it! I have to avoid my mother to keep whatever of them I have.

on another thread i posted be still my soul.

it is taken from sibelius finlandia.

it starts at 4:50. beethoven will probably always be at the top for me but this is great music.. sibelius finlandia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdzipg3beem&mode=related&search=.

What kind of crap is that? You play music but haven't played "a specific instrument in a while". What "specific" instrument do you actually play? And why cannot you say what it is?

I play clarinet specifically. I can manage playing some on the piano without sounding like a total retard.

Orchestration on this piece is .. well 20th century.

one sunday last fall, i read the bible online since i couldn't attend the meeting.

i was careful to read only the kjv.

the problem was i read a verse that was different from what i remembered fro the nwt.

Mr. Flippers Son Anti-Witnesses to his Fanatic Witness Mother

so, my 22 year old son called me this morning and said his witness mom, my ex, sent him this website link- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,313683,00.html .

it is an artcicle about a 14 year old witness boy with leukemia who died because of refusing a blood transfusion.

doctors said he would have had a 70 % chance of surviving to live a normal life if he had accepted blood.

Mincan

I wonder if it would ever come to this sort of discourse between my mother and I.
