It sounds like your mother has " boundary problems " . Like NOT honoring you and your lady's boundaries. Your mom should just chill and not try reeling back in your girfriend to the Witnesses if you and your lady are happy already. Perhaps a nice chat with your mom about honoring those boundaries might be appropriate towards her lightening up on you & your lady. Just a thought. Good luck. Peace out, Mr. Flipper
And he should speak for his wife why? A husband that has a wife with a brain doesn't need to speak about "her boundaries for her"..
I'm sure the wife has a brain ?
My feeling on this goes way back to when I was a dutiful JW wife and did all that hubby said and he made all tlhe decisions..after leaving the religion I got a brain! I learned I could make and voice my own decisions, even if he/someone else didn't like them. Just curls my toes to hear people talk for their wives..or tell someone their wives or husbands view when they in all reality don't have a clue..if the JW mom wanted to ask the wife to a meeting it was her choice, she shouldn't have to "run it through the hubby first"..she should ask the wife directly and the wife should speak for herself..if she didn't know what to say then it is her problem to grow a backbone and say no or go...but it should still be her choice..
It's called respect!
Hubby was a JW and I would voice my opinion if HE brought something up about his religion but Being a JW was his choice..I respected that boundary..as I expected him to do mine..which he didn't..after all , he was still a JW..
