My Mom Requests They Don't Announce Her Name If She Is Sick--- On Platform (page 2)

They told her that "on paper, to the Society" they did not remove her but said due to her illnesses "SHE" quit. When the elders and CO told her this on his last visit, she told them they were "liars" and that she "NEVER" told them or wrote to them that she wanted to stop pioneering. They tried to fluff things off but she was resolute and now they are backing off.

she has told the elders NOT to even announce her name if they find out she's been sick or could use some welcomed calls.

Is this because she doesn't WANT visitors, or is it a 'test'? From your Mum's experience she is feeling the lack of love and harsh treatment, is she 'testing' the Congregation, ie, without an announcement of her being unwell, would anyone notice or care to visit without being told / made to feel obliged to?

minimus i know what you mean...a similar thing happened to me..i just mentioned in passing to one elder that i was having difficulties..(due to my sis being df-ed) and a month later it was announced that i had come off pioneering..

they hadnt even told me it was going to be announced...and a month later i had got myself sorted anyway..when i questioned it they used the old..well you can still put the hours in..dont need a title to serve jah....yeah like they would know...freaking morons

What shocking treatment!
That whole cult is LOADED with unhappiness!

I hope you can be your moms best friend right now and help her to see she neednt go back to slaving for a man made organization. Yes, stop the phone calls and visits from the cong. and have a long talk with her about family love how strongly cults can interfere so deeply in our lives.

Encourage her to take a big break. Well meaning but busybody witnoids will try to reach your mom and pry what its all about, but later report to the elders her feelings said in privacy. This will lead to further action from the elders.

Honesty

Send her our love. She is a special person to defy the WT cult.

The very best thing would be to ask your mom what her dreams and interests are and

help her be pro-active in getting connected with people who have the same interests or

can help her pursue her goals.

Time for fun!!!!

This is probably a blessing in disguise for her.... She just doesn't realize it yet. Let her talk and vent as much as she wants. Don't jump all over the JWs or the WTS yourself, though. Let her discover things herself and just validate what she's feeling. She needs to know you still love her, no matter what.

I'm so happy for you, though!!

Hugs to you and your mom!

I'm glad to hear that the witlesses lack of love has finally become apparent to your mum. What a terrible way to treat someone after years (how many?) of loyal, full-time book sales! They do not know the definition of the word love - let alone how to manifest what they call 'agape' love . Your mother loved her daughter enough to be there for her special day - but the elders cannot see past the assimilation factor as regards the 'unbeliever' and felt they would 'show her' - humph. I hope for the sake your fam. that they've lost a salesperson!!!

If this is how they treat good people, who are friends and believers, how can we expect them to 'love their enemies'?

Has your Mom ever asked you about your feelings towards the organisation?

My mom KNOWS how I feel and she at times feels she's being "punished" for not exposing me.
