I was never shunned by the one sister and her family who are JWs and they don't talk to me about the JWs because they themselves and many others in their congo are just in the org for the social life and deep down do not really believe that it is the truth.

I was df'd over a year ago, most of them shunned me from the start except for my parents; they disowned me a couple of months ago. I'm caring a lot less these days. I don't want their love if it comes on the condition that I make them feel good about what they call their faith, and certainly not at the price I'd have to pay; going back to pretending to have it too just to make them happy. If they ever needed help in the form of support while they go through the escape I went through, I'd be there for them, but I won't be in any other way - they won't allow it. As it happens, they've also isolated my JW siblings, playing this tough love game that has backfired on them. So they have either disowned or discarded all five of the children they thought had their back as they grow old; that's the outcome of their escalating belligerence. It breaks my heart to see them so unhappy but I'm not buying into it any more, there's just nothing I can do.
