My Witness "Anionted" mum has organised for me to visit her when my disfellowshiped Sister flys in from overseas in a few months. My mother feels that this is "personal family buissness" and does not clash with Watchtower laws. Afew years ago I was threatened by Elders for associating with a disfellowshiped family member....I organised to meet her at our favourite resturant. An Elder overheard my wife telling my mum...so...Elder meeting. I was told I can't do that or I may be disfellowshiped. I told them that many Brothers and Sisters still see their disfellowshiped children claiming that it is only for "family buissness matters" or "caring for their parent." They said as a Servant I should set a good example not a bad one. So I did'nt see her for quiet some time thinking it may help her back in. Anyway, now I hope to re-establish our relationship...ill have to throw myself on the ground and pleed for forgiveness. I'm nervous, but I promised my mum, and I need to do this. My mum won't be around forever. It will make her happy too. It was her idea! Shock!

That is great to hear. Does your sister still believe it is the truth?

No she hates it, and is Married to a really nice "worldly guy."....she tried to come back, then slowly realized it's all rubbish....meanwhile I stayed in for years like a Zombie. My mum said her husband thinks I'm very distant and cold as a Brother..........I had no choice.

Yes, great news. Try to keep family. Your sister will eventually (if not sooner) be glad
you did. -

Sounds like a great idea....I'm sure she will truly appreciate and be happy to see you. I think you will be surprised at the acceptance
she will give you. I think you will also feel a relief to know you
are doing what you want to do and not being forced otherwise.

She probably misses you just as much as you miss her. I'm so glad you get to see your sister - and those elders who want people to shun their own relatives can just go fuck themselves with something sharp and painful.

Witness 007,
Your mom is one smart cookie, good for her. Throw yourself on you sister's mercy and I know she will welcome you back. So many of us would be thrilled to hear a family member had left the JW's, you sister will be glad to have you and Mom back. You Mom has some tolerance for sure.
