GETTING THE COLD SHOULDER???

OR Maybe Not.

Can't seem to connect with SOME family members lately.

It's easy to brush it off when it's only a couple days or so. But when you can't seem to connect via PH or Internet after several days then the paranoia begins to set in and the anxiety begins to build up.

I have grown so accustomed to being "shunned" it's like second nature to me, BUT,

I guess I'm still anticipating the DAY when I will be an OFFICIAL HARD CORE APOSTATE (because of my participation on such discussion boards) and shunned by those who are suppose to care.

Crosses fingers and maintains position come hell or high water I guess.

I'll now translate:

blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahbalhblablah

edited to fix my crappy spelling

I really need to stop posting while standing om my head

I think this happens more than we might realise. The shunning procedures are so soul destroying that all natural humanity is stripped away. It's no wonder that a shunned person begins to view all inter-personal relationships in a negative way, paranoid in nature.

Keep smiling, Plum!

Chin up there Plum! It's just a natural, built-in reaction to an artificial lack of love. We're created in God's image, and God is Love, so we're told. When such unloving things happen, especially when they come from people who are supposed to love us, well, it just feels unnatural. That's because it is. These people have put a man-made organization in a superior position - the position that love is supposed to fill.

This happens all the time. The Nazis did it to the Jews, the Spanish did it to the Jews, American whites did it to the blacks - and not just in the south either no matter what the northern elitists claim, the Hutus did it to the Tutsis, the Boer to the Hottentots, the Japanese to the Koreans, and on and on like that. It's artifical, that's why it feels so bad.

You'll get over it sooner than you think. And then you'll find more love with your friends than you will with your family. But you gotta make sure you keep mixing in company with people - your friends - as much as possible. Can't do this if you isolate yourself. Like me, I think, your friends will become your family.

((( f ))) Thanks.

It is unnatural. It's especially unnatural for me. I was never any good (nor would I want to be) at turning up my nose. And if it is family I would yell and stomp my feet before I would put my nose up.

I got hung up un this morning with no explination as too why. Thought to myself the line just crashed but who am I kidding. It should have been up by now.

This too shall pass...I hope.

Sorry you're having a bad time with your family. I've been ignored by my Dad for the past 14 years, and it's not even over JW matters.

Hang in there, we care about you.

Awwww Plum...you're such a honeybun...how could anyone give you the cold shoulder unless they're brain damaged!!

At least in here you've got lots of warm snuggly shoulders...so chin up possum!! Its just a shame we can't help you move house.

I know with my family, when I left I was lucky enough to have my brother. My sister and I were very close for many years...so I took her decision to shun me very hard...but I never once felt any regret about leaving the troof. I'm kinda lucky now, as my sister is inactive and she no longer practices the shunning...but I still tread very carefully, as she is not a hard out anti like my brother and I...but we're working on it LOL.

Plum, it distresses me to hear that you are feeling blue! You are much to nice a person to ever feel that they are being neglected.

Life, as you know, has its ups and downs. I pray that tomorrow and all your tomorrows will be bright and shiny!!
