Why Would Someone Like me Leave the "Truth"? Part 3 Continued (page 2)

lisavegas420

we have a single mum, with two small children, living on her own, racked with guilt, needing help and support more than ever. After all she was just getting out of marriage that wasn’t working for her. Her father a good friend of mine provided this upport by disowning her. Write her out of his will, removes her phone numbers form his and his wife’s mobile phone and only contacts her children through the ex-husband

you know that feeling, when you read something, and you know, they are talking about you. ....except for the last part. my parents decided to shun my children too. They didn't want to get attached, since they weren't going to make it to the paradise anyway.

Lisa that breaks my heart. How I could go along with this cruelty and believe it was from loving god baffles me? It shows you the power of religious belief. Have a wonderful new year.

no more kool aid

Again, great accounts, most of us have seen these same scenarios over and over again. Waiting for no.4. NMKA

Hopefully I wont screw up the posting of part IV.

You left a trail to follow. Good job. Thanks for opening up. You will find it quite cleansing.

I never truly felt sorry for anybody who was df'd or da'd themselves to the degree that J-dubs do. I viewed them humans beings. I just couldn't bring myself to be sorry for them being destroyed when I was miserable myself. In fact, I envied them. I remember when I came back from the JC when I asked to be reinstated, my dad, (former elder) said nobody is reinstated the first time. Where in the scriptures does it say that you have to go through 2 (humiliating) JC before you are deemed repentant enough to come back? I was crying, with snot rolling down my face, um, yea I def. was repentant. I can't see how elders can sit through their meetings and on JC committees and not come to the same conclusion you eventually did? They see and are aware of more than the average J-dub. They are def. in a postition to see that some things just don't make sense.

Oceanblue, you cried and didn't get reinstated? I was told that's where I messed up, I didn't cry so that proved I was unreprentant...even though I was the one that originally went to the elders on my own and confessed.

Wow as an elders wife I knew nothing of most of this. You were a git sorry but you were. I would have told you so at the time if I knew. At least you saw the light as you were developing into a good little cult member and were not always a nice person to be around.

Now I know you were wracked with guilt and so you should. It is good to know that the good bits of your personality resisted the cancer and reasserted themselves. Thank goodness that sanity prevailed.

Love you lots.

Many thanks for the read; at least I know my experiences were NOT unique!

Until I found this forum in 2004, I believed that my congregation was the only one to behave this way.

Can't wait for the next part.
