This is NOT your fault. Don't blame yourself. Your mother doesn't deserve you. Everyone needs and deserves love, especially from our parents. Hang in there!

I am so sorry you have been ill. It saddens my heart to know your own Mom treats you that way. This is so unnatural. I can't imagine ever turning my back on my kids.
Take good care of yourself, you deserve it. Like LisaRose said, take it one day at a time. Come on here anytime to talk to ones who understand how cold and insensitive this cult is. There are a lot of good people on here.
Hugs to you!

Suicide Prevention Counseling
by MrCellophane inin the 1980's when i was an elder, i don't remember the society providing any guidance to elders on suicide prevention counseling.
i realize much has changed since then.
can any current/recent elders update me on what the current position of the local elders would be if approached by someone in the congregation contemplating suicide and seeking help?.

I love how they end all their videos
....and they lived happily ever after.
Except for all the "weak ones." They will be miserable until they return to Jehovah.

If Someone Touches Woman’s Breast and Covers it up…
by John Aquila inone of the elders schools i attended, we dealt with a person who touched a girls breast and covered it up and kept it secret until it was revealed through a source.
the instructor first laid the ground work for a guilt trip.
he read this scripture;.

Okay? So a brother touches a sisters breast, an Elder finds out about it and doesn't say anything? So let me get this straight! An Elder who covers this up is a Sinner but when a child is molested, it's not the Elders job to report it to the authorities? Oh my God I am so glad we are OUT of this bats*** crazy cult!!! -

This is a good question. I think the answer to the question has a lot to do with WHO you are!
If Daddy is a "spiritual man"....i.e. Daddy does enough tasks in the Congregation! We watched several families allow their children to participate in all kinds of extracurricular activities in school. As long as everything "looks good." You know...the kids go out in service and get the national average in. Maybe even pioneer once a year. We have watched these little spiritual princes and princesses shine on the Convention stage during an interview asking how they maintained their integrity while at school. In the meantime, these cutey pies are applying to college, playing sports at school and performing in the marching band. What a hypocritical lot these people are!
When we were growing up we had the "School Brochure". We were not allowed to attend college, play sports or be involved in any extracurricular activities.
My how times have changed!

They're coming to get me! =)
by Mrs. Eden inhello friends.
my fleshy sister is seriously getting to my nerves.
she's my only (and younger) sister, and as you know, is married to an uber-circuit overseer.

Mrs. Eden
I had a family member do the same exact thing to me. Questions and interogating. I put a stop to it real quick. I also gave them NOTHING they could hang me with. I basically said that I am doing fine and if I need to speak to them about anything I know where to reach them.
Once they find out you are not attending regularly, they get the word out that you are in "spiritual danger." Then everyone tries to love bomb you! My questions is...why don't they love bomb you when you really need them? Sometimes I wonder if they are envious of the fact that you are moving on with your life and they wish they could do the same. I think there are some secret apostates. You never know what others are really thinking.
If you give them NOTHING, it will drive them bananas. What does every JW enjoy more then anything? GOSSIP! It is their achillies heal! They feed off of gossip. Once they realize you are "playing dead" (like cat and mouse) they WILL loose interest. They have with us.
Keep us posted and hang in there!
