My JW husband came home from his meeting yesterday a little later than usual, and when I asked him where he had been, he said he had to meet with the elders after the meeting. Why? Well, it seems that even though he is reinstated, he has to ask for each of his"privileges" back one at a time. Nothing like prolonging the agony!!
So to make a long story short, he had to talk to them to see if he would be allowed to comment at meetings in the future. I went ballistic. I said, "This is pathetic! You're tell me that MY HUSBAND, the person I am SUPPOSED to be able to count on to make decisions for this family, just met with three old men and asked their PERMISSION to RAISE HIS HAND and READ THE ANSWER THAT IS ALREADY WRITTEN in the literature????? What kind of respect am I supposed to have for this?? It's like a big game of "Mother-May-I?" He even made a comment about being head of the household, and I stopped him right there. I said, "Whoa, buddy, you are NOT the head of this household, I don't care what those blithering idiot elders with a cumulative IQ of 90 tell you!!!!! So just forget about that crap!"
These so-called elders are getting off on this because they are practically illiterate and this is the only place in their lives they can garner ANY RESPECT whatsoever!!! UGH!!!!!"
Needless to say he is not speaking to me now. I'M SO F***ING MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Sorry - I just had to vent.)
