We can love people yet at the same time be hurt and even angry with them. I feel the same way myself. I love my folks dearly and wish my dad had not died while still in the cult. I am not happy about being raised in it and am not ashamed.

My Bull Necklace
by TOTH inyears ago my mom sold avon and i bought a necklace from her that had a bull head as the centerpiece.
(looks like the one above) i was first admonished by the overlords to not wear it because it was like walking around with a golden calf around my neck.
when i kept wearing it my mom was scolded for selling it to me and i was then scolded as well.

I had a cousin who did. But he also wore a BEARD so his hunting may have been frowned uponas well. I know that it was frowned upon by the jw's in Albuquerque.

Ziddina I believe they were just reproductions. Like something you might get from Pier One Imports or something. Some of them were used as book ends for theocratic literature too. LOL

Oh about the idols! We went to a bookstudy and the brother and sister who had it in their home had all kinds of ancient Egyptian statues and stuff in the living room. No one said anything to them either.
King Tut and Anubus stick out in my memory...
