How did your family react when you made it known that you did not want to be a JW anymore?

by Yondaime in

please share your experiences..

I havent told them. I've managed to open my families eyes a little to the unchristian behavior but mostly my negative comments have gotten alot of cognitive dissonance.

A LETTER FROM MY MOTHER...since learning TTATT

by Blackfalcon98 in

so ive recently: joined the forum, read cofc, began reading combating cult mind control.....and today i gotta letter from my mother.

i thought i'd share it with others so that i can gain some hidden insight, and perhaps just to encourage someone else here who has relatives who are still mentally locked in.

dear blackfalcon98.

I believe she suspects I may be apostate.

She does, kinda. I have been increasingly critical of the man-made rules. I have bragged about the benefits I experience from college, and have emphasized how 'priviledges' in the congregation are a poor measure of "spiritual maturity/progress". I have compared the insitance on being clean-shaven to the circumcision issue. Im convinced that Jah is not offended by the creation! I haven't underlined "studied" for any of the boasting sessions, and I have limited commenting (if the elders call on me) to the bible highlights or reading a scripture. Underlining answers in a magazine isn't studying! More than that, I've often caught my mother "studying" the WT without looking up the cited scriptures! Context is key, but the asleep just dont get it! I pray for them to wake up!

DEAR BLACKFALCON98

I love you very much. I'm sorry for the added pain I must be causing you. Please forgive me. I will step back and see how the end turns out. I am a little disappointed with your outspokenness and strongwilled attititude that is not to your advantage in this case or any like it where you are not the authority or holding the controling factor. I see trouble you don't or don't care about or don't believe exist. Nonetheless, it's your life and you are relieved to live it your way. [END OF LETTER]

I particapated in "No shave November". I grew a goat-tee, and the hounders refused to grant me back 'priviledges' because I didn't shave for a month.

Ferguson Situation reinforcing my family's delusions. Is it doing the same to yours?

by Yondaime in

lol they keep saying that this is truly satans system and all that crap.how people in the world are so judgemental and crazy.. anyone else getting sick of this?.

.

Blackfalcon98

Its shameful, people are so swift to judge when very few were actually present for the event. Stories have been sensationalized, experiences ignored, racist who jump at the opportunity to vent frustration....its one big mess, a misrepresentation of the black race, and true nightmare I wish would go away.

Just finished Crisis of Conscience, now for Combating Cult Mind Control

by Blackfalcon98 in

ray franz is really encouraging, and his experience really proves how destructive the borg.

just got my hands on combating cult mind control....i gotta admit: its not an easy read like cofc.

i intend to finish, anyone here who has read the book?

Blackfalcon98

@Flipper, Ive always appreciated your encouragement, and I will make a legit effort to get a good feel for the Hassan's work. Im also noticing fallacies and tactics in ways like never before. For example: not allowing certain brothers "priviledges" for not fitting into the mold of WTS....and not due to some scriptural issue....just this brother isn't an exemplary JW....dont use em' and thus he will be ashamed, etc.
