  a little while back my siblings and i (one jw two exjw's) had and intervention for my mother (jw) because she nearly killed herself by abusing her perscription medicine.

  like most addicts she denied that she had a problem and refused to get help, so my sister, brother, and i all restricited our contact with her as agreed until she would get help.

  my mother turned to her local elders (she is inactive, only because she doesn't like to leave her house, she still believes) and sent them after my sister and i. i haven't been to a meeting since 2006, i am married to a non jw (oh the shame) and celebrate holidays, the elders show up at my house unannounced and start brow beating me in the most christian way about respecting my parents and (this is hiliarious) tell me that just because i don't agree with everything she does (they also tell me that she needs all her pills because of her pain) doesn't mean i can cut off association with her because it isn't scriptual... i couldn't help myself i laughed outloud.

  i wish this weren't the way i greeted the board.

  i've been lurking here for about 2 years now, but was unable to really interact because of limitations of my ipod browser (you can't post from there) and the parental controls on my computer.. .

  well 2 years later, i'm a big boy, turned 18 and moved out.
