  there i am, saturday morning, 9am, having a coffee with my kids, hair very messy, no make up, pj's on still, and they show up!

  why do they never phone first and make an appointment?

  i have asked them to do this but they won't comply.

  Try that... life will be better for you!

  the one that is called the holy one of israel, my lord, jaheshua mischajah: christ, of course!

  by means of him, all creation came into being.

  thus, they "arise" in christ.

  Double Edge summed it up quite well:

  one thing I do know is that unless someone could truly walk in another's shoes, the validity of each other's criticism is at best suspect.

  i'm totally amazed.

  i gave that un report to my (hardcore jw to the extreme max, but in a nice way) aunt, and she didn't speak of it for several days.

  when she said nothing, i knew i'd gotten somewhere.. today she finally spoke up.

  You sister in law is indeed: Wacked!!! She sounds like she has the "elder syndrome".....lol I can't believe she has the nerve to make you confess anything.

  I agree with Blondie and Jgnat: don't respond to her at all. IF she keeps sending you letters, don't open them and mark on them: return to sender, put them back in the mailbox.

  She has harrassed and verbally abused you by what she sent in that letter.

  Keep that letter on file if you need proof when you turn her in for restraining orders. (and I hope it doesn't come to that)

  Congrats on the new baby!!! How exciting!

  Welcome

  So sorry to hear about the shunning, it is very hurtful. I am fading, still in good standing but one of my siblings hung the phone up on me 2 years ago, have not heard from them since. I know the pain it has caused me as well.

  Being that you are 22....do what some of the other posters suggested: Get a career, get a hobby, get a social circle of REAL friends. I know that takes effort, but there are many kind Non-JW's out there.

  Keep posting here as well...this board will be therapy in itself. It might be good to find a licensed therapist who specializes in exiting cults to assist you in your progress for your new life.

  Take care
