ediated for speeling as usual

I wanted to update all who are concerned about this situation.

My sister is safely moved in with the family described above.
I’m so relieved! I’m also thankful to all of you for caring and I’m especially grateful to this family. They not only moved her into their home but they moved their two little girls (8months old & 2yrs) into the smaller bedroom and put her in the larger one!
In this case, almost total strangers showed more love than flesh and blood JW parents.
Thanks again,
Ranchette

I'm sorry but this is pathetic! Your dad sounds like a real jerk to believe the end of the world is coming due to the WTC. So he acts like a great human being and throws his own flesh and blood out on the street to go back to the borg just so he can survive armageddon? This clearly shows this is not a Christian religion. It gives Jesus a bad name!

Sorry Ranchette. It really made me angry. Glad your sister is fine. ((((((((((((Ranchette))))))))))))

Ranchette,

I feel for you and am sorry for the family problems you're putting up with. Glad your sister found some nice people who came up with a solution.

You made the comment that it's not your parents responsibility. Why? Since when does the WTS say you have to turn your back on your kids who are in need because they are DF'd. The last I remember it was acceptable to care for the needs of family members. You just are not supposed to share in "spiritual" fellowship. Has this changed or is this the local hard line stand being taken. Or maybe your parents take this stand in spite of the WTS's allowancw of a more balanced approach. Either way I am sorry you and your sister have this burden.

Sean,
When I made that comment,I wasn't refering to her DF status.I meant that she's grown,31yrs old and should be able to stand on her own two feet.
Morally and ethically they should feel obligated to help her no matter what mistakes she's made.
Especially since they promised to help her.
Thanks for caring.

Ranchette, I'm so glad your sister is okay. I did actually contact my dad, but he wasn't in St.Louis. He said he would have helped, but has been in Myrtle Beach ever since the WTC incident. He drove all the way. He has a condo there and is thinking about moving permanently.

You know, it makes me so angry the way some families treat each other.
I often see that saying, on scarves, keychains, buttons...it's become a cliche..."WWJD"? ("What Would Jesus Do?")But, I swear, even if he was a myth, his actions always showed love. Only love. To sinners, prostitutes, handicapped, sick, dying. And these were NOT his family. How much more so should we treat those of our flesh and blood?

Truly the family who took her in is the epitome of what "Christian" means.

UPDATE!!!!!

Well the Nightmare continues!!!!

Last Friday my sister was left a note that said she had one week to get out of this couples home.
Come to find out the husband didn’t like the idea from the beginning but gave in to make his wife happy.
This little family was already under a lot of stress and things got worse for them after my sister moved in.
My sister was hardly ever there between work and school but the husband and wife were fighting a lot and the children were sick and money tight. He decided this was one stress he could get rid of.
My sister is in a terrible situation with very unusual circumstances.
I don’t have time to do any thing but state the current facts because the reasons she is stuck in this ridiculous situation would take too much time to explain right now.

She is not in a regular campus college. This is an accelerated course. If you quit you loose all your money and get no credit for what you’ve done so far. She cannot transfer either.
She ‘s not making much money; in fact it takes three checks to pay her truck payment. Even if she dumps the truck there’s no money for other wheels and still not enough to cover living expenses.
After the truck payment there’s one check left for insurance, rent, utilities, food, and all living expenses. As you can see she is not any near being able to support her till she gets her education.
We have been looking all week trying to find help for her.
The shelters are strict and you have to qualify first which takes time. They also lock down at 5pm.That won’t work because class starts at 5pm.
We are paying for her schooling now. We are renting a storage building today to put her things in and driving to St Louis tomorrow (Pevely area) to get her out. This is more than we can afford ourselves.
Some guy she doesn’t know says she can stay at his apt for two weeks. I am afraid for welfare living with strangers and she attempted suicide about 2 yrs ago.
All this stress of not being settled and looking for the next place to place her head is affecting her grades.
This is one giant disaster that she wouldn’t be in if her husband and father hadn’t let her down so badly. She has made mistakes but she is the product of a typical JW upbringing,
Depending on men for survival. Now she’s trying to change this and everything is going wrong.
My mother says it’s what she gets for not coming back to the organization, that she’s lost Jehovah’s spirit.
What loving parents to dish out horseshit instead of helping like any responsible parent would?
For any one who reads this update, Thank you for listening.
Any ideas or help welcome.

Hi Ranchette, I just came across your post today. I am a former JW, and will never go back. But I was thinking about how your father has treated your sister, his daughter. And it brings to mind, you know that scripture that the JW's use and it basicly says, "If a man does not care for his own, he is worse than a man with out faith." I don't think that are the exact words. But it is close. He and your mom, brought you and your sister in this world. And don't you think that a parent should help out their off spring when their are in dire needs. I don't know it that will help. But you could use it to throuw back at him.

Boy my spelling is horrible today. Sorry about that.
