Oh I love you guys for trying to talk me out of this. And I love you for giving me ideas too. I HAVE gone over it in my mind about TAKING him to the memorial then when the hypocrite comes up SMILING in front of her studies and the congregation just SLAM her with, "How DARE you come smiling at me you HYPOCRITE! You mistreat my poor father in law, neglect him and refuse to bring him here so you can LOOK GOOD putting on your BIG FACE for these people! SHAME ON YOU!" But then I would be the one with cops on me I bet...

12Trying to do the RIGHT Thing.
by TOTH inand i am trying to talk myself out of doing something shitty.. as you may be aware, my father in law is married to a real piece of shit.
she neglects and abuses him and he is sick and elderly and now is addicted to pescription pain medication.
yet she continues to lead the cngregation by her "exemplary theocratic behavior" by being a regular pioneer and carting the sisters around to every place they need to go.

GREAT SHOW! Timothy Olyphant would not have been my first choice to play Givens. Not that he does a bad job. I like his movies a lot. But I think that Jason Patric does a better Southern gent.

Sorry to hear that you are going through this. You will find a fairly good group of people here who have gone through this and can offer some support. I hope your wife realizes that you are worth much more to her than a phony organization that really cares nothing for her as a person. All my hopes for a good resolution to your problem.

WOW! I never cease to be amazed at how imposing the jw's can be. I think that Sally really overstepped her bounds with this thing she did. even my uber jw father in law knows not to go behind my back and say anything to the kids no matter the situation. My youngest was 16 and had a lovely head of curly hair growing. It was shoulder length and I had NO problem with it. Neither did his mom. But my father in law's idiot brother, Count Drunkula did. He didn't come to my son or I nor to my wife about this issue. He went to my father in law and demanded that HE do SOMETHING about my son's hair. My father in law told me about it and that he told Count Drunkula that he HAS A MOTHER AND FATHER and that he had NO PLACE in the matter and that he didn't either.
I swear some people feel justified in doing just about anything to please that organization. I bet she gets to relate the whole situation at an assembly and gets praised for her valiant fight for Jehovah and saving the kids from evil Christendom.
Thanks for sharing...

Interesting Article on Born-Ins of Different Faiths
by breakfast of champions inhttp://dailymaverick.co.za/article/2012-03-11-the-lives-less-lived-sons-daughters-of-perdition.
an excerpt:.
but because religion and identity are so intertwined, and because indoctrination almost always takes place at a young age, leaving religions remains a complex and traumatic affair.

And I am trying to talk myself out of doing something shitty.
As you may be aware, my father in law is married to a real piece of shit. She neglects and abuses him and he is sick and elderly and now is addicted to pescription pain medication. YET she continues to lead the cngregation by her "Exemplary Theocratic Behavior" by being a regular pioneer and carting the sisters around to every place they need to go. Loads them up in her van and takes them to meetings, assemblies, conventions, service, the store, doctor appointments, etc etc etc....
She has been very shitty to us and at one point assaulted my poor disabled wife. My wife's dad even agreed that if my wife wanted to press the charge he wouldn't complain. But my wife took mercy on her for HIS sake. Well I was out of town when this happened and my wife said nothing of it until I arrived days later. I was pressing the charges as after days, her arms and legs still bore the bruises. But my wife said that her daddy would be the one to have to bail her out and pay the money so I relented under protest.
Anyway, memorial season is approaching and I will soon be asked to transport my father in law to and from the memorial because the inconsiderate SOW he is married to refuses to take him and bring him home unless she can load the van with many others. Like I said, he is not well and should not be subjected to her nonsensical bullshit. I on the other hand do not feel like I should be forced to take him in order for her to LOOK GOOD in front of the congregation.
My idea is to drop by on memorial day and throw some empty beer cans and maybe a half full bottle of tequila under the seats of her van, then call in to 911 and report a drunk driver behind the wheel of a blue van bearing license number blah blah blah. I think it would be hysterical if she got stopped with a vanload of sisters and studies and to be found to have those open containers in her theocratic van.
I am hoping someone can talk me out of this.
