Last night I called to do the "check-in" thing on my mom. She had just been to the assembly and she was all fired up and decided to give me an earful. Apparently, at the assembly all in attendance were told that "this is it" the end is nigh and they should do all they can to prepare for the impending destruction about to befall everyone. She asked me to talk to an elder again because she hates to think that I am going to lose my life outside of Jehovahs organization.
this conversation only went downhill. I told her that I was happy outside the "org" and then tried to plant some seeds and explain why. Her only response was that "even if the new system never comes, and the organization is wrong, she wouldnt go anywhere else" That floored me, totally blew my mind! How do you answer that? What does that mean? I felt very frustrated, it feels like beating you head on the wall.
