  my brother (non-jw but became a christian 6 months ago) and i nursed my aged jw mother back to a semblance of strength over the last three weeks.. the elders were happy to pass the buck on to me, her da'd daughter and my bro.. he has been living with her for 3 months and has transformed her ill-kept home and garden and literally nursed her like a professional alone.

  before i stepped in to help him care for her.

  he repeatedly told her how much he loved her and was so caring, it brought a lump to my throat.. he has been going to church sunday mornings, telling her he 'was meeting up with friends' so as not to cause friction.but she knew where he had been.. we noticed a shift in her demeanour towards us (she knows i'm a church-goer) over the week-end and she started to.

  October 4/5 2014 - Armageddon date!

  my mother has waived her shunning of me as she is seriously ill. her elders have classed the situation as a 'dire family circumstance' and.

  all restrictions have been lifted.

  some crazy hypocritical reasonings on the elder's part but who cares?

  Telephone Conversations Today with 2 Elders Re: Shunning - Or Not?

  my alcoholic and aged jw mother is now extremely ill and is being cared for in every respect by my non-jw brother.

  3 sisters visited him yesterday and were adamant.

  that i (disassociated and shunned by her for nearly 3 years) was able to 'visit her any time' and that ' there was nothing to stop me seeing her' as long as i. didn't discuss spiritual things with her.

  this seems to be a real worry for 'faders' on a number of threads.

  the responses to ducati's first posting.

  is a good example.

  i played for a couple of years as part of a syndicate.

  (naughty me hehe!

  ) didn't see it as gambling but as purely a game of chance.
