I just found out today that my JW Mum has turned down a proposal of marriage for the fourth time. None of the proposals were from the same guy either, although all 4 were JW's. I'm also told that Mum's considered quite a dish for an octogenarian.
However, I'm also reliably informed that one of the main reasons for her refusals is because of the DF'd "state" of my Kid Brother and myself.
See, she's considered a mature dub, one of the elite, and she also gets her own quiet ration of new light. However, when the DF'ing rules were relaxed, she took them to heart and re-established contact with us 2 bad lads. When the rules were re-written again and re-enforced, she took the view that as neither of us wereapostate or living in sin, then she could maintain contact... 2 non-smoking, non-fornicating, non-blood taking, non idol worshippers, that's us.
Well, she's apparently twigged that if she does re-marry, new hubby will most certainly not be welcoming us 2 likely lads into the marital home with open arms. So she's chosen not to marry again.
I don't know how I feel about that.
