    Welcome, my heart goes out to you. This organization is responsible for breaking up many families, my own included. I am at a loss to explain your brothers behavior, usually close family has a hard time shunning, even in cases where it is required per the rules. It appears your brother shuns you even though it is not required, per the rules.

    But you cannot change his behavior, only your own reaction to it. All you can do is focus on your own little family and love them, that is what counts. I am glad you are out of this heartless religion.

    Hi Brainfloss. Was particularly sad for your wife when she was pregnant. A woman really needs her friends at that vulnerable time. Shame on those people. Yet they carry on knocking on doors?? Charity begins at home.

    Look forward to reading further posts.

    Welcome, glad you were never hassled by the JWs, and delighted to hear you have a happy family life with your wife and children. Don't worry about your brother, some people are just like that!

    I can understand the lack of love aspect, I was apparently the only elder tht did proper shepherding, everyone tells my wife how much they miss me, but no-one ever calls! I left over 2 years ago and apart from a few text messages from 1 older lady have heard nothing.

    Welcome! Consider yourself lucky that no one checks up on you! Their "concern" only leads to more problems.
