So yesterday I stopped by my sisters home and decided to just hang out and shoot the breeze... she was telling me that since she has stopped going to the Kingdom Hall (the last 9 months) she still looks for things to do on Sunday. She feels she should go and do something and she likes the idea of church. It seems fun and will giove her a place to meet people. I don't want to encourage nor discourage her from doing what she wants I just warned her about getting involved in something like DUBS especially so soon afdter leaving a high-control group.
She says she has no desire to be controlled that way again she just wants to finally experience something else without the idea of being scared of what will happen next. The only catch is that she wants me to go with her. I told her that I sure would like to go and share this experience with her. After all,m we were not allowed to associate as younger people because my folks kicked her out on the street because she would not go to the hall anymore. Long story short, we are going to go to a Baptist Church so she can go to the picnic afterwards and indulge in all the fun of something new.
I feel honored that she wants me to go and share this moment! I am glad she is free from WTBTS and is fully aware that jumping into another commitment like that would be deadly. I think my work is done. I am gone from WT, my wife and children as well! My sister is no longer going and all of her children as well.
I may have lost my folks and my brother, but in actuality I do not miss them at this point. There has been enough pain that they have caused prior to my decision to leave so knowing they are gone isn't really an issue. Not to mention the fact that they no longer want to talk to my family and told me I am no longer of their sort or even a part of the family.
The best part of this is that I can honestly say I am not hurt anymore. I have nothing to grieve over, I feel like a normal person in a very short period of time.
I think I have graduated.
