    This morning, my mom told me that she told my sister (who's hubby was just recently made an elder) that she felt NO HUMAN has the right to judge someone..........only God has that right. I felt like doing cartwheels!!!!! I was sooo proud of her, even when my sister said that she only felt that way because "Terri is disfellowshipped." Mom came back at her with a resounding no way and gave her good examples of other situations she has observed in the "troof". I told her I was totally proud of her and that I hoped my sister would listen and think for herself, to which my mom replied "she does"..........I know she and my bro-in-law have seen stuff but, they are still covering it in their minds with the old saw "Jehovah will deal with it in his own time". (sigh) BUT, at least my mom isn't totally blind and is fair...........she still talks with me, even tho the elders give her a hard time now and then. I thought I'd share that with ya'll since I know that I am encouraged everytime I hear something like this from someone else. I'm not getting my hopes up too much, tho............whatever happens happens............

    ((((Sass)))) I know you've had a tough time lately with that letter your mom sent, etc..........one of the reasons I said what I said at the end of this post was because I've seen the wind blow one way, then the other.......so, I just try to stay open and not get my hopes up too high..........my mom has always had a mind of her own...........in fact, I laugh now, thinking how my sis and I used to worry about her turning "apostate"!! Funny how life takes some sharp turns, eh?

    Ter, this is wonderful news! I am so happy for you. Your mom and sister have to have some smarts in them, afterall they are related to you.

    Good for you S41. You find by not 'pushing' the situation events slowly turn interesting.

    Absolutely, Guest, I never was a pushy witness and I'm not a pushy "apostate"
