  Thank you so much Blondie! I can't wait to use this now. Somebody actually just told me that if the WT does really say this then there is no point to following them, lol.

  I wish you had told us the point of this thread last night. I took this thread seriously and it had me up half the night thinking about it and I had to take prescription sleeping pills just to fall asleep.

  If I was your child and I grew up and married and had children, I do not know if I would let you even be with my children. That is how heartless, what you said was.

  Over one bad thing that was said? Really? Even if normally he was a very caring, loving father who made many, many sacrifices for his child?

  I want to add that I know it's hard for a parent to not feel they are getting the respect they deserbe when they have made countless sacrifices for their children.

  I think that it's really a great and humble thing for you to get outside opinions for clarity in the situation. Not the easiest thing to be a parent and just the fact that you came here shows you care and are probably normally a really wonderful, loving parent.

  Imo, you made a mistake. We all do. I wish you the best.

  I'd say that's abusive. It could be worse, and we do say things out of anger sometimes. But, it was an abusive thing to say.

  I would definately apologize.

  Kids ask why because there brains and still growing and developing. I believe its common because that is how they figure things out when they don't have as much life experience as adults do.

  They just don't understand so it's easy for us to lose patience. But, it's still wrong and you should, imo, apologize.

  tell us a little about yourself and your family.. my mother joined the frenzy when the end of the world was coming in 1975. her sister-in-law was first recruited and got her in.

  when the end didnt come, mom was disfellowshipped shortly afterward, but she went back a few years later.

  i did not care to go with her.
