So, periodically I might text him about the football or that a relative has died, or some other excuse to have some kind of contact. Yes... I should know better, but you know, I got to try.
It obviously gets under his skin and annoys him. So I had another little try at some humor, but this time I must have crossed the line and he bit back... and bit back hard.
I will try to briefly set the scene...
In Australia, when you turn 50, the government arrange for you to have a free Bowel Screening. They send you a kit and you have to provide them with a "sample". In times past, my brother used to joke asking if I had received my "kit", implying thta I was aging...
So on Thursday I received my free kit. So I texted him and told him I had received his "present". Of course he had no idea what I was on about, and has no sense of humor in regard to me and my/our situation.
Here is his reply, with my reply back [which I must say was not my initial reaction!]
:
Dear Geevee,
I would like to ask that you now stop contacting me. When you left the truth, you left me and my family also. When I think that you personally have taken the truth away from three other people that I love and still do, I get upset still today. I always loved the fight that Mrs geevee would make to stay in the truth, but when you stopped supporting her, you really let her down. I think that it is time you moved on. I would love nothing more than to consider you my brother, however, without Jehovah, this cannot be. If you ever come back into the truth then we can talk.
Hi Teevee,
I am sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you like I have. I was trying to share something I thought was funny. You know that I understand your position only too well. It is not the first time you have expressed it. I will try not to contact you ever again, but even the watch tower allows for family emergency. So you will only hear from me if it is very extreme. I wish you and your family all the best for now and that future. Please know that we all have never been more happy.
Your brother,
Geevee
So, as you can see, I got to him a bit. By the same token I was very annoyed myself, to say the least. But, I did stir him, and he bit, and bit hard this time. I have included a link to my previous banter with him. He is still the same. This time pulling out what he thinks is a big card. My wife left the borg when she was 19, only to return a few years later in crisis and they all think that she came back because she want ed to, but at the time she felt that she needed her families support, so she went back. In a way I am happy she did, we wouldn't have met otherwise, but that was the only benefit.
Now we are all out. My two sons as well and are living life. Thanks for listening. I have now deleted everything out of my phone and made a public record .
They say they are not in a cult.
