I shouldn't be shocked but I am. (page 5)

Tell her to stop drinking the Koolaid.

I sometimes notice the actions of someone still under the mind control of a cult resembles the actions of a drug addict or any other addiction that takes control of their life. It's sad. BTW cool cat, I have two siamese.

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through.

One thing your mother said made me extremely upset, and if I was in your shoes I would absolutely let her know in no uncertain terms how I felt. You may want to keep the peace, but I think she needs to understand how shocking her behaviour is in the hope she will wake up.

I love you baby girl, your still my heart. I hope one day you will come back to us.

What???? "Come back to us". She left you, you never left her. She needs to come back to you, not the other way around. I would tell her exactly that, and that her thinking is so perverse because she is being maniplutated by cult thinking. The WTS does not represent Jehovah, it is a cult. You did not leave Jehovah, you left a man made cult. You have not left her, she has left you for a manipulative corporation. Does she really think that an organization that has made ongoing false predictions, that now lies about those predictions, that protects pedophiles, that demands shunning of children, that allowed members to die rejecting organ transplants and then changed its mind on them ... and on and on and on has anything to do with Jehovah. When she pulls herself together and acknowledges that she is living a lie, than you hope one day she will come back to you. (if you need any help finding information to support each claim I am happy to help)

I hope that is not too harsh, but after the way she is leading her life the only hope i can see is for you is to hit her hard with reality.

I am so sorry your mom is doing this to you and herself. I hope she wakes up one day and gets out for good.

It never ceases to shock me when I read posts such as yours. I cannot imagine walking out on a child of mine,

no matter what they do or how old they are. The JW religion is just so wrong on so many levels.

I'm so sorry, Renee.

Even though we know why they do it, it still hurts.

Have you ever considered just blocking her emails, phone calls and sending her letters back, unopened, "Return to Sender"? This game she's playing has got to stop, and if she won't stop it herself, then you need to stop it for yourself. It's hard to put your foot down and say "enough is enough" - especially when we're talking about the behaviour of another adult who should really know better than to behave this way - but your sanity is worth far more than this insane c'mere-c'mere-c'mere-getaway-getaway-getaway dance she's doing back and forth between you and the organization/your dad.

She can't make up her mind what she wants. She's like an indecisive child, for goodness' sake!

"How long will you be limping upon two different opinions? If Jehovah is the [true] God, go following him; but if Ba'al is, go following him." ~ 1Kings 18:21

How will your children handle it? Honestly, they (when they come along) will not need that brand of crazy in their lives. Isn't your life calmer and more peaceful when she's not involving you in her mindgames? Give your children the gift of calm and peace. Kids get along just fine without crazy cult-brained relatives in their lives. You'll find a way. Don't think of them as losing a grandmother - she's already gone - and she's the one who made the choice, not you.

Your cat is gorgeous. I bet she loves curling up in your lap and purring.

Pretty nice cat but mine is nicer. Would you believe that I found her begging scraps at a KH while hundreds of Dubs ate the physical banquet provided to them so that they could toil in the hurricane relief project?

Would you believe that NOT ONE of those sorry losers even freed up a crumb for a starving kitten?

My cat loves me unconditionally and we forgive each other our past associations.

I'm so, so sorry, Hon.

Man oh man it sucks when someone you love so much is so god-forsakenly brainwashed!!! I feel for her too, isn't that the hell of it.

Love and strength to you.
Love,
Baba.

I shouldn't be shocked but I am.
