Sounds like she is pretty set in her ways. My mom is also in her 70's and when we use to speak about shunning she had the same type of reaction. Tough call, at her age it may do more damage than good if she is pressed with the issue.

Please Accept My Most Heartfelt..........
by Englishman inrecently, i have had a few occasions when it's been neccessary - no, essential - that i say sorry to someone for something that i have said or done, in order that someone's hurt feelings are healed.. it doesn't make me feel demeaned at all when i say sorry, i don't feel any less of a person because i have apologised, although i am aware that some people find it almost impossible to apologise.. what do you think?
is it a sign of weakness to apologise?
is apologising a desirable thing?

However an apology is no good if there is no sincerity behind it.

I feel that an apology shows ownership of a wrongdoing or transgression. It's hard to apologize when the other person does not admit their part in the problem. If I put my foot in my mouth, then obviously I've got to claim it and apologize. Just my 2 cents

'Prepare for Banning' A HOAX! READ INSIDE
by ashitaka inmy friend called me last night and said that his mother heard a letter read on monday night at her congregation meeting that said that the rank and file should be prepared to be banned, to go underground, and persecution is coming soon, that halls would be taken, and such.
that these things are definitely coming soon.
could this be the spin that the wt is heading towards.....instead of facing the hard issues, make the issues the boogeyman and shut down the halls, giving the elders ultimate power?

5 Steps the Watchtower Society must take.
by Amazing inhere is what i believe the watchtower society needs to do in 5 clear steps.
that is if they are to avoid the coming "trainwreck" of being forced out of business: .
1. take full and complete responsibility for their part in the bad policies with respect to blood, sexual molestation, and shunning.

Tax exempt status should be taken away from this publishing company disguised as a religion. Look at the fruit it bears. Broken families, Criminal cover-ups, Deaths. Suicides.
By their fruits you will recognize them. They are a Corporation not a Religion. Take a look at their holdings. By following those 5 steps they risk losing their most precious assets. Money and the people who donate it.

Joannadandy, To be honest with you, I don't want to give a heads up to any Watchtower trolls that may be lurking. I will tell you this though, the message is clear and concise. There will be plenty of pictures and video posted once we get back.
