Thanks to all of you for such warm replies. I live about 20 miles north west of Charlotte, NC. When I was a JW I lived in SC. When my mother started studying with JW's my daddy fought her on it. He finally gave up and let her have her way. I was a small child at that time. Daddy never did become one. After I was DF things were not too bad as Daddy did not allow them (my siblings) to shut me out, even tho they did manage to do it sometimes without his knowledge. After he passed away thats when they took over. Life was very different after that. They have tried to convert my daughters. No luck there. My oldest has been known to slam the door in JW's faces and the youngest lets her claws out. My sister has went as far as to tell my daughters that she needs to talk to them about me. It's the part of being cut off from my blood that hurts. Thats not the way it should be. I've told them that I can not believe that God would want family treated this way. When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit that made everyone imperfect. I feel like if someone falls, you help them up, not turn your back. It's amazing what a brain washing cult can do. Sorry that I vented so long.
Hello and welcome, SusieB. This shunning policy of theirs is not loving nor is it even Biblical. If so, since exdubs are to be treated as "a man of the nations," how do they justify not shunning the rest of the world? I DA'd myself a couple years ago after some 5 years of inactivity. I didn't even become a dub until I was in my mid 40s. Of course, I am shunned. That is, until one of them wants somethng I can do for them. Their hateful policy does not make me feel like I should rethink my DAing. On the contrary, it just makes me stronger in my resolve to avoid them as much as I can. I was content to not even speak out against them, but their hate towards me, for just not wanting to be a dub, made me decide I needed to join the voices speaking out against this ungodly and inhumane cult.
I am looking forward to hearing more from you
Welcome Susie B

Hello and welcome.
Susie,When Adam and Eve fell,God still helped them.But for the WatchTower...forget it.My ex and I got into in WatchTower in the 70s through her parents.So when they Dfed her and after 1975 I really went into over time on researching the full WatchTower.What I found would make Satan proud.
The WatchTower,since the beginning,have been destroying family lives by the thousands,if not millions.Your's is not the first and won't be the last.Scotland has proven that the WatchTower lies all the time.Even in court.Keep on praying,as I shall for your family.As long as as there is a chance prayer may turn your family.Prayer,it works.
God Bless you.........
