We don't even recognize the religion (cult) that we were raised in! Just left 6 plus years ago!

California Fires-Contact from elders
by SouthCentral inthe fires have been hitting many areas of los angeles lately.
recently, i checked my home voicemail and noticed messages from several elders.
they were calling everyone on their “books” to ensure that they were ok.. i assume this is the protocol for a natural disaster.

“If you don’t return our call, will have to stop by!”
My response would be...." you can stop by but it doesn't mean that I am going to answer the door."
The main intention of any uber dub JW is to re engage you. Get you "back on track or back on board the JW train."
NOT GONNA HAPPEN NO MATTER HOW MUCH "LOVE" YOU SHOW ME!!! Life is just way to short to let this group back into my life. Enjoying life way too much to let the drones in again.

Even mental health experts call shunning a bullying and psychological torture. It is a sick tactic to bully you back into the cult. This is being sanctioned by the leaders of this cult. The rank and file are jumping on board with this disturbing tactic. No matter how strong you are, it affects you deeply. Especially when it comes down to the people we love the most, family.
I knew the shunning was going to happen to but it messes with your head. Watchtower knows this. The shunning has actually angered us to the point that we are going to let the still in family members know that this tactic WILL NOT "bring us back to Jehovah" but will do the opposite.
I'm sorry that your BIL is experiencing this. I do believe that the shunning will be Watchtower's next problem. It is what JW's call the "message of judgement." SCREW YOU WATCHTOWER!!!

Watchtower only takes care of it's own and even then they do a piss poor job (not protecting children). If you are not a JW, you are dead to them. If you "left Jehovah" (aka...the borg), you are certainly dead to them. Look how JW families treat those who can not stay in. They are dead to them. WT is only worried about it assets and it's money. A true 100% narcissistic cult!

I agree....step down. If your wife see's it, this will make it easy. Look at all the free time that you will have not being an Elder. You can spend more time "working" on your wife. Move slow, so as to not scare her. It takes time. These Elders are clowns who need some sort of authority in life. Let them enjoy the cult that they are a part of. If they want to do all the work in the Congregation, let them. You will be freed up. lol Plus, you won't have to play their petty little games anymore.
Keep us posted.

Ours are not outright shunning us YET. They keep their distance and seem to dodge us. Only family emergencies or invites to any WT event (you know...."spiritual" things). lol
We have a few "friends" doing the same thing, It's like you have horns and a pitch fork!
As far as we are concerned they can take a hike. Who needs em! Life is to short and we gotta go live it. Good riddance to em!
