Okay, so how is gramma gonna pay for her home?
I think the congregation has arrangements to care for needy elderly members like that. NOT.

We Are Disgusting!

Hey LouBelle,
First off, I totally support you and your mom and aunt on this. It's totally hypocritical to shun you like you have the plague and then expect you to come running when it's convenient to get money from you. Would they help out if the situation were reversed? Not likely!
Just be aware that they will probably spin this to say those "disgusting apostates" won't even help destitute family members and how loving Jehovah's True Servants are because THEY step up to the plate. HYPOCRITES!
They will go to great lengths to portray themselves in the best light and paint "apostates" with as broad a "wicked" brush as possible.
Sorry you're having to go through all of this. Take care.

The religion has created this mess. When it states that it is more important than family and teaches members to hate relatives who don't believe then it creates these issues. Whilst I am sorry for your aunt and the abuse she has suffered I am glad that she has seen Phylis's true colours. In this instance she would be used for her money but treated with contempt.
It is good that you are there to support one another and appreciate each other for who you are not what you believe.

Louise, tell your aunt that we all are proud of her. I know it is difficult, but she is taking the correct stand.

Louise, you are just a loveable lady. Your gramma has no clue what a fool she is.

Loubelle, I am relieved to hear this was resolved so quickly. You were very upset about this and it turned out just fine.

What did Jesus say to do to your enemy, Its really unfortunate that the JW's hear all this stuff about having to shun and so on but always seem to forget what thier master has told them about LOVE.
