I resigned in 2009,only contact has been with a dear friend and a chap who was BP years ago and contact only by phone,never discussed my resignation since he visited a few days after I put my resignation in,just catch up chats about family etc,he was very kind and non judgemental when my daughter became pregnant at 16,he delivered a lovely high chair for the baby.
We hav'nt chatted in a while,my dear friend called me yesterday to say this chap is seriously ill and is in the High Dependency Unit of our local hospital,I called his wife,who has been inactive for over 20 years,arranged to go visit chap tomorrow,his wife said she was concerned as some members were giving him a lift to Church until a few weeks ago when he became to ill to attend,he had been dropped off after Church the last Sunday and she knew something was wrong,all he would say was that some man would never speak to him like that again ( his words) and some woman had upset him but would'nt say who.This must have been serious as he would never discuss things that happen at church as he wanted his wife to return.
Now when I visit tomorrow I really hope no members are visiting
at the same time, really don't want to see any of them and just a tad afraid my mouth may run away with itself,don't think I will at the bedside but its a long walk out to the carpark,his wife is extremely upset about what happened to him on that last day at Church,she knows all the problems with Mormonism but has supported her husband,there are some members in that Ward ( it became a ward around 2000)who are very cliqueish and only stick with their own kind,this chap is a one off,would give his last to anyone,a real christian heart...Question,what do I say to him if the subject arises about my resignation and how he has been treated by certain members,he was a hardworking man with a low wage and was looked down on by some members,can't call them christians,any advice appreciated.
