Wow....
Now if that sort of conduct doesn't scream "CULT!" , then nothing does....
Seriously, the idea of rushing back into the arms of an abusive tyrant who will beat you or kill you if you don't obey, is not healthy....
Abusive spouses like that are prosecuted by the law,but religious deities who do that are "worshipped"
god I'd love my sister to be making these kind of overtures to me, nothing in years
Am I mistaken, or didn't one of your brothers question his study conductor about shunning, get the runaround, and then decide the dubs were full of crap? Is this the same guy? I had hope for that one, though I seem to remember that he was wrapped up in the fantasy of things like Armageddon from almost a superhero perspective.
Brother 2 is the one who was studying but stopped is the one living a "worldly" life.
Brother 1, who thinks demons live in my home and satan controls my life is the one that text me.
My sister tried the same things with me, even having my 4 year old niece ( at the time) relay the Jehovahs is going to kill you message. When I wouldn't engage she became even more enraged and tried other more bizarre threats. Now she leaves me alone because I won't enagage.
She has sent notes to her DF'd son about how Jehovah is going to kill his baby if he doesn't return. Ummm yeah makes me want to run back. Plus isn't it supposed to be Jehovah who judges people's "hearts" not our sisters? Sorry your family is crazy too :-)
edit: Once they can't scare you anymore they have got nothing left to compel you to return.
Sorry your family is crazy too
Sadly, I'd say a lot of us deal with that situation.
"You're going to die in armageddon".
NOT ME! I will die of old age, or perhaps an accident, like every other human down through the ages.
I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I woke up at 29yo, left at 31yo and have a good 50 years left if im lucky. Even if i am hit by a bus or something tomorrow i've still done more in the past year than they have in their whole lives.
Half an hour later she texts "You're going to die in armageddon".
Return the favour, let her know..
Like every other JW before her, she will be dead before Armageddon arrives..
It was all going to end for over 100 years now. If anyone tells this bull shit to you walk no run away. They are mind controlled and idiots. They are toxic and will only tear your life down. You can not save them. You can only move on and save yourself. Never ever talk to these fools.
Even for Jehovah's Witnesses, this behavior is over the top. You are clearly dealing with imbalanced individuals and there's no use trying to use normal logic when trying to figure out their motives. Best to steer clear of them when possible and resist the temptation to engage with them over anything JW related.
Perhaps a text messages saying " I love you Brother and Sister, thanks for your concern but please don't contact me unless there is a family emergency or a family related issue I need to know about".
