If he has to have others make up his mind for him then he is a perfect substance to be made a perfect jw. and dropping them its their loss not yours. Hows the hobbies going?
You're absolutely right Zeb. The thing is, even when i was a JW i was the one that fixes problems. No one's ever there for me when i needed them. I get through things on my own. Yet when stuff happens it's like "oh lets go to Pale.Emperor, he'll know what to do, he'll sort it out" then when they're sorted they leave again.
I dont need them. It's no big loss to me. Like Luo bou to said:
I considered my JW family as dead to me you can't relate to the dead so why bother
This is what i have to do now. As of yesterday coming out of work i decided that. And im a lot less stressed about it. If they wake up they can join here and ask you guys for help i like did, like we all did. Get through it on their own. That's if they ever wake up.
On a side note. I wonder who my mother will turn to in 20 years when she's 80yo with no pension, no savings, no nest egg - she didnt need it, she joined in 1976, armageddon was right around the corner. Will she turn to my sisters who dont work? How about my brother that rents a three room shack in a rough neighborhood? Oh if only she had another son who had his s^it together and was financially stable?
P.S.
[Hobbies are going great Zeb. Im into photography now. If i wasn't
disfellowshipped i certainly would be by now for all the naked women
that have posed in my class].
