That's a sad story, I found most people in my old congregation more genuine than that, I guess it all depends on the type of people, usually the congregation announced things like that, "so and so is in the hospital and is accepting visitors." - makes me sad to know not enough people made the effort to come and see your mom.
I agree with Gopher and I can't say it better so..
"You did the right thing in DA'ing from the congregation, and it sounds like your mother well understands why."
It's nice to have support from your family members.
wow i am new to the internet thing and i am so happy i found this board.
i can now converse with my brothers and sisters of the world this is great !!!!
!
kaxfenixot, the internet is a great tool for connecting communities together, I've just joined as well and I love reading all the interesting ideas and diverse perspectives, I think you'll find (as I have) most people in this forum are genuine and caring and have a positive view of life, it's like a fresh breath of clean air.. the kind the Watchtower Society doesn't want you to know about. Enjoy!
before i tell you about the conversation, i need to give you some background.
i am 62 and my jw sister is 58. i left the religion when i was 22. that was 40 years ago.
in 1981, she read the hard stance article about those who have left and did not talk to me in more than a cursory way for 15 years.
Hmm all too familiar to me... the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society never lets go of their bleak outlook on life today, this is how they maintain power and control of their followers. My sister would say the same thing, it's a direct lack of education and it's fear that stops them from expanding their knowledge of the world and life around them. Sad when I think about it, I guess I try not to.. Larc it's great that you and your sister are talking after 15 years of silence (sad when I think about the wasted time) but still nice to have that connection again.
i know him from silentlambs and now he is here.
i just wanted to welcome him here.. .
welcome buster!!!!!!!!!!
The more the merrier! Welcome Buster. :)
"eh Chico, can ya spare a spliff for me and my buddies down here? Buddy behind me is a JW an he won't stop talking about this "Jehovah" Cat!"
just wanted to share this picture of a painting i took last year, i think it was untitled so lets call it "old school street corner brotha".
if you live near victoria bc canada you can see the real painting at pagliacci's.. .
:d
I also find it very interesting that someone chose this subject to compose as a print, not sure whom the artist is but you are right it looks like a print rather then a painting, I'll take a closer look next time Im downtown.
