So, I ran into my older brother at the store yesterday. We haven't spoke in five years except at my Grandmother's funeral in 2006. ( My husband and I were df'd almost five years ago........APOSTASY!! Yes, we are the WORST OF THE WORST!!!) The last time I spoke to my elder (and Elder) brother, he was telling me how my neice was working so hard to graduate 1st in her highschool class. Of course since I'm "worldly" now, I'm all about her getting a full ride at Baylor University. He seemed apprehensive about college. I, of course knew why, as do all of you........
She did graduate #1 in her class after really busting her ass.
Fast forward two years: I never heard if she went to Baylor, but asked my brother when I saw him at the store. He said, "She just passed on the Baylor scholorship completely and went to a community college for a semester, then decided college just wasn't for her."
So, she's not going to college AT ALL! She also didn't use a $20,000.00 schlorship given to her by the cement plant my brother works at. (He graduated in 1982, and also didn't get the opportunity to go to college, thus the cement plant.) My brother is telling me all this in a very proud and noble way, like it was such a GREAT sacrifice for Jehovah! Guess what she's doing???? Anyone?? Any guesses?? Come on, one guess is all you need!!!! Yeah, she's regular pioneering with her Mother and younger sister. <and this is where I throw up in my mouth just a little> I didn't really know what to say to my ignorant, deluded brother. Poor bastard, he's still waiting for the end and was making sure I knew "things aren't going to get any better." No shit things aren't going to get any better, that's why you need a friggin education FOR FREE, if you can get it.
My heart goes out to my poor neices and nephews. What a waste of a short life. I'm sure the highlight of my neices summer will be having a part on the District Convention this Friday where she can tell everyone what she gave up to serve Jehovah full time. <small puke again, sorry>
Love to all of you. I know I probably posted with some of you back in 2003. I can't remember the name of the site we posted on. It was closed down, but I really needed support from people who understood my situation at the time. I remember SKIZ, but that's it. Heck, I can't even remember who I was. I have a good memory, it's just short. And I just love these dang smiley faces.
