I am not sure if I should start this on the religion forum, as I am atheist but very respectful and wouldn't want to start a discussion there.
I am in utter shock as that is 3 of them in two years... One of them used to be a lot into partiing, she had New Years Eve, the best Halloween party ever, her teenager daughters birthdays, always at her house, she LOVED having parties. Sha was a dancing moving her ass latina! And now in a matter of months she is covered head to toe, she doesn't party (ok, partly due to an illness of her) she didn't even say happy birthday to her 19 year old, etc.
My other friend who was a catholic started reading the Bible with this woman from the Jahova's Temple, her husband used to critisize her talking to their kids about god, he liked doing meditation and stuff like that... So little by little this second friend of mine has met up with the Jahovas more, but now suddenly her husband has turned!! They told me yesterday and I was in shock, but I respect everyone's decisions.
Its just that they won't celebrate birthdays or Christmas or anything... her DD and mine adore each other, they are 3.5, and I am so sad that their lifes are going to be so different :(
I asked them if they where going to go down the "no blood trnasfusion route" to which my friend previously replied "no way!" but now that her husband has joined her they do believe its not the right treatment. I really am so sad. I still love them and they are almost the same people to me, but I find it all sacry and weird.
I am not sure if I am actually asking anything here, I am just venting because she has already one bad experience telling people about her choice so I am not going to tell other people in RL. That is for her to do.
Anyone has experience with this church? No intention to offend but I find them creepy
