Yes, that is just how she views me. And that is what watchtower want, to link disfellowshipping to fading into the same pot. Bad association. A spiritual leper. I don’t mind particularly, I think I have become emotionally dead inside at times for want of truth and a balance on the future….‘what is it all about?’ syndrome! It is easy to believe the worst of others. The watchtower promote that stance under the banner of keeping the congregation “clean”. It happens here too, on occasion. It’s not unique in its proliferation. The best attitude really is just to say sorry and carry on, but the watchtower forbid it unless you hang around in the back of the hall for a year or so in doing public penance dressed in watchtower sack-cloth. For what? The sum total of my sister‘s urge to go after a lost family sheep from her perspective, was to send me a watchtower mag on the resurrection when mother died, and a Return to Jehovah pamphlet. And I have been gone forty years and more from the watchtower! Is that the sum total response of the watchtower? It Seems so. That is why the truth is so important. It creates a response to listen and set thing straight, flawed though we are. I don’t know when, but love seems to have died at the helm on the Good Ship Watchtower long, long ago.
