My name is Brian. In the past few years I 'm happy to say, "I have gained myself and one of my sisters." I was forced to leave behind the rest of my family, friends and a mind control group some call the (please insert profanity of your choice) wAtCHtoWeR. They call this lovely process being, "DF'D". I call it, "The fast track to freedom."
Shortly after I was married my parents started playing mind games. They would come over every couple of months or so.[b} I believe sooth their consciences, and throw in some jw punches.[/b] My mom would say, "We want to see our grandchildren, honey dear" They would stay for a few hours make a few comments about the end of the world, then leave. This was a emotional roller coaster. It's funny how my mother and father who lived only a few miles away at the time, would not call or talk to you for months on end. Then out of the blue (or when their conscience got the best of them) they would want to come over and act like nothing is wrong. We love you so much this, we love you so much that. Bring gifts, money, food and fresh veggies from the garden. Yes, they would bring food for us to eat, but would not eat with us.
I finally told them they where welcome to come by any time, but the next time they would have to sit down to dinner and eat with me and my family. I also let the rest of my family and friends know, "Your welcome anytime, just treat me with respect and be ready to eat a great meal."
To say the least only one out of my five brothers and sisters has called me since, I haven't seen or heard from my mother or father since.
My sister and I have both read C.O.C by Ray F. we also both went to Ritzville to support Erica and Bill. We also got to meet lots of other folks like Barbara and many others. We found out quickly we were not the only ones who went through the (please insert profanity of your choice) wATcHtoWeR brainwash cycle and surrvive.
Some may say that keeping grandparents from their grandchildren is to harsh. I will tell you I've had nothing but peace since. I will not let them continue to treat me with disrespect, they will not play their games around my children anymore. They are missing out on the best things in life, their son, daughter in-law, my son who is 2 1/2 and my daugther who is 1 1/2.
If they only knew life is wonderful when your free.

Slave no more! Now when I see witnesses out and about that I used to know, I feel proud that I have came so far.
