I Miss My JW Daughters Terribly- But I Have a Plan for 2008 ! (page 2)

Hortensia

Some encouragement for you: it took over 20 years, but everyone in my family is out. I was the first out, considered the bad guy. Even now that all are out, I'm still something of an outsider in the family because they got used to thinking of me that way. No matter - no one I am related to is a JW any longer, including sisters and their children and cousins - even my die-hard raised in the truth cousin who was an elder. One of the things they could see is that I didn't care about the org. one bit and didn't let it hinder me at all. I was happier than they were.

Hi Mr Flipper,

I really do wish the very best in your endeavour, i read your posts here and know your hurt. Shunning is a pernicious horrid thing to do.

I am going to have a look at Steve Hassan's book as I have a JW daughter and wife that i hope to extricate.

Don't your daughters see the irony that they shun you, yet they don't their mum, with all her problems?

Happy Christmas and a peaceful new year to u and Mrs Flipper.

Mr. Flipper - you can only try, try, try - it's worth a shot. Be sure to keep us up to date on how things progress.

I must say I never saw it like that before, but know that I think back, we all did look and act very robo type.

Wish you all the very best!

Mr. Flipper - I have got to read this book too because it causes me so much pain and anguish to see my son under their control and giving his life to it.

It is good to have a plan like this, something to work on that has a good chance of succeeding. I pray that it works for you

That is really sad Flipper, and I hope that over time you are able to reach your daughters. As Hassan says, never give up hope.

Best of luck flipper, and please let us know what works and what doesnt.

The crazy family is cheering you on mr flipper! The Witnesses never give up hope of converting unbelieving family, cheering when the 80 yr old man needs to be lifted in to the baptismal pool. Even if you can get them back into your life you will have won. Dads are important and I would love to have mine back. Don't feel undue guilt for raising them as Witnesses. You believed you were doing the right thing like all the rest of us.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Flipper,

I wish you much success in this process! It sounds like the second Hassan book is more of a "how-to" book, so maybe it would give you some additional pointers.

Peace out,

JK

Thanks for all your replies and posts- you don't know how much your support means to me ! Well, I can see you do from the kind responses ! Thanks again !

ABANDONED- Thanks for the kind words . I really appreciate it ! I'm gonna give it a try !

OTWO- I appreciate your input . I think people do tire of the WTS doctrines. I will definitely try to approach it from the angle that I am not officially " kicked out " so they should accept some input from me, I hope.

LADY LIBERTY- Thanks, nice thoughts ! I think I need to do what your parents did with you, just let my girls come to learn about it on their own , but drop off little tidbits here and there . Thanks for the comforting thoughts that my daughters still love me ! That means a lot, we were always so close before . I will keep my chin up, I know they are scared as you say .

POZTATE- I will definitely use Hassan's tips from the book !

FINALLY FREE- Thanks FF for the kind words. Just gotta say, I love your bird's Santa hat, so cool ! I'm so glad you and your mom got closer and had a good relationship before she passed away ! It gave you some better memories to have and hold .

HORTENSIA- I agree with you. Thanks for sharing your experiences . I too let my family see I am happier now - hoping that will some way work ! They also can see that even though I respect the fact that they care for the organization , they definitely see I don't care for the organizations unjust ways . But I'm careful how much I let it show . I do talk more openly with my witness mother , as she is very non-judgemental .

LLBH- Thanks for your kindness. Yes, it does hurt. I used to be very involved in their lives . They don't see the irony of their actions because they are under " cult mind control ". I also understand that were they thinking with a clear mind , they wouldn't act that way . So, that's how I deal with the hurt- just realize they are " under cult mind control ". I hope you can get your wife and daughter out of the JW's too !

LOUBELLE- I will keep trying and keep you up to date with the progress . Thanks, for your best wishes ! Yeah, I can't remember acting like robots as a witness- but I guess we did ! LOL!

MADDIE- I know you are going through the same thing I am my dear friend with your son ! So you know the pain I'm feeling , seeing my daughters manipulated by the cult . But, I never give up. I'm a man with a plan, and I pray it works too !

JW FACTS- I am a very positive oriented person . I will not give up hope of getting my daughters back !

MISSING LINK- I will let you know what works and what doesn't . Thanks.

MOMZCRAZY- Hey Momz- thanks for the cheers ! I need all the encouragement I can get right now . I'm looking at this as maybe one of the most important accomplishments I could attain in my life- to get my daughters their freedom back as human beings , as well as get them back in my life too ! Thanks for the kind words, I'll keep you posted .

JK- Thanks buddy ! I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks ! Peace out.

PRIMITIVE GENIUS- Thanks for your best wishes dude! I really appreciate it
