I can vouch for her story because I am her oldest brother,, It saddens me that I treated her under cult indoctrination so poorly,,and have been trying to be a real older brother for her,(what ever that is)?
She done pretty well for herself and her family,, dispite the many obstacles. We both came from not the greatest home enviroment(both parents suffered post tramatic stress caused by various reasons). I became rather distant at times because of this and cult mind control. I'm glad to be part of her family this past month. it's been exciting to say the least.

I thought this bore repeating: the funny thing after all those years the elders that dissociated me found my # and called and said they had a new policy dealing with unbaptized children that were mistaken i should have never been dissociated from the congregation wow what a mistake it cost me my family i told him to go to hell. Jesus never turned his back on anyone so what gives them the right they should study the bible not their publications.

Many years of happy new memories to both of you.
Love,

Welcome Sweet Honey! I like your username.
I'm glad you told those elders to go to hell. I think a lot of these clowns think they have a 'get outta jail free pass' or something. It's like they don't remember, they, too, are sinners. They have no idea what Jesus' teachings are all about. I know as I have had to tell my MS father that some of his advice for me is in direct contrast to Jesus' teachings (and he knows it!).
As I have said before, when I was little, my Mum told me one of Satan's primary goals is to break up families. The WTS breaks up families ... so I can only conclude that Satan is running this organization.
Glad you're here. Hope you can/will stay.

I like your way of thinking!
