Wildfire, Witnesses are subtly yet severely emotionally abused. Inside they are hurting badly, especially the more sensitive ones. So, it's not surprising that they often times strike out and bite. It is a reaction of their own suffering. I would not judge them individually too harshly. Forgiving them for their hurt soothes our wounds. Now you, dear wildfire. Are you in, or do you have a counselor to help you with your emotional pain? Have you looked into antidepressants? Sometimes there is help we are not aware of. Don't be afraid to reach out. Lots of time embracing nature can help. Hikes, walks, camping, fishing...just being away from it all with bird song rather than car horns. Please be good to yourself and always know there are those who really do care. JamesT

Wow, how loving and Christ like she was........
NOT!
These idiots are sure damn, judgemental, they should really take a look in the mirror. You don't kick people that are down, though there are some people on here even, that do that.
Hope ya find some peace! ((hug))

I've never been a dub, but it never ceases to amaze me when I read stories such as yours on this board, how lifelong 'friends' can turn on a dime.
"Friends", that is the way it is in the org; but get this: my brother (and countless others) have done this to brothers, sisters, and their own children when they are disfellowshiped. It is an everyday occurence, they view it as the way God wants it.
I could not do this to my child, and didn't; i have a child df'd and he knows that he is loved, appreciated and ok; we spend time together all the time.

Sorry to hear how you were treated. That is so typical of their mindset. They don't realize how much blood they have on their hands.
Nice to know that you had a true friend to lean on.

Wildfire,like i said in the chat room i am starting to really like being called an apostate, it makes me feel strong and proud and that i am a fighter with my own mind, with enough mind left to think for myself. APOSTATE= STRONG,OWNMIND,CARING,COMPASION. JW=DEATH, DEPRESSION,MINDCONTROL,LIES. So next time someone calls you an apostate say , thankyou and you are a jw. kathy
