i was just researching some things and saw an article scan from 4-15-88 watchtower.
it talks of an unrepentant "wrongdoes", like a son who was a drunkard and glutton, and if he was unrepentant when brought before the judges, his parents would have a part in executing him.
my mom had said to me last time she was here..."it's a good thing we are not in bible times, you would be stoned!
Thank you for the responses. Unique1....I know we always relate....95.....You need to be here in case she ever says it again, although I would take JC's advise and turn it on them.

Looks neat...I saved it on my favorites...and am looking forward to what is in store!
i'll try to make this long story short.. in october ... about 3 days before i left for a trip my mother decided to have my cell phone cut off.
i've had my bill in my mom's name since i was 16 and have always paid it since i was old enough to work.
but .. out of pure spite, she cut off my phone.
I think you should do what you really want to. You have seen her do things just for spite....and I'll bet she would have you change your plans to make her happy....then not show, just for spite. So, do whatever makes you happiest in your life....then you won't have regrets.
the watchtower society on false hopes for life in heaven (the watchtower, june 1 1981 page 6):.
bliss in heaven sprawled out on a billowy cloud, twanging a harp as you float along in space and eternity?
it is not that vain and useless existence that idle dreamers have conjured up as heavenly life.".
Thanks for the post....This is exactley why the society HATES the internet......those priceless comparisons of their own words!
i just received an email that read:.
kingdom melody n. 54 sang by celine dion and george benson.

Unique1....I think Backed was making a reference to the WTBTS sinking...like the Titanic!

Coronagirl....I was responding to your post at the same time. I appreciate your response....it has got to be a cult when it makes people all act crazy and evil even. I am glad you have the support of the rest of your family. Maybe you all can meet at one of your houses from now on, and let your mom know she is always welcome...since it is HER that shuns...not you.
i havent posted here in a long time.
i have been disassociated for 2.5 years and am doing really really well.
it was rough at first but things leveled out and my daughter and i made it through.
First...welcome back :) Your mom is sooo much like other people's moms on the board. We pretty much just had a similar conversation on this(read my post about being stoned by family) I think they all review an article here about this...
http://www.jwfiles.com/no-dealings.htm ..They really feel that by talking to us, they are losing out on their "free gift" that costs so much. I wish I had some good advise for you....just know you are not alone!

Thanks Gordon.....Thanks all of you! That is why I love these boards!
On a side note....I do have a great MIL who said she would beat up my mom...Then she asked if she was bigger than her...and when I said she was...she said well, then she would hit her and run real fast!
The Bible says we would recieve spiritual family if we lose any because of him....and I have found that here!
HUGS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nightmare....I completely agree....and anyone reasonable would do the same for their kids. They really misapply the scripture about how in the time of the end, some will have no natural affection. It is very much applicable to THEM.

G-pa John....That put a funny image in my head...Our mothers, dressed in "field service" clothes, going to a field somewhere with stuffed body doubles of us...practicing throwing stones at us and having a good ol time! (Oh,oh.....and who is coming to meet them there?? MILs worst nightmare's MIL !) They MUST do this you see, in case JEHOVAH requires it as a last test to enter the NEW WORLD!
