the toll is mounting; god help those poor people.
i went to some websites of various churches.
and found most of them are helping, such as, what is posted below.

How about a "Dear Hovah" Advice Column?
I have a serious problem. See, I am a JW and as you probably DON'T know, we have our own cultic vocabulary.
Sometimes I accidentally slip into the JW verbage when speaking with worldly co-workers. It is quite awkward.
What can I do to avoid this? Oh, and ....
What is the easiest way to shun my family members who are DF'd?
Yours truly, WTS Slave

Wildfire, bless you. I have a daughter myself and we have our "moments" but have not been through an experience like yours. I do know that time heals, and I hope for you and your daughter to achieve a well-deserved peaceful relationship when the time is right. Take care.
i tried to send my message but it went to inbox.. i am new to forum, and am not sure if this is where i want to be.
i have no trust in any organization, as a hierachy exists in them all.
possibly even here.
Hi Peggy and Welcome! I don't post very often but want to say you are not alone; you will learn much if you stick around here. As in the "real world" there are all types of people here. That's how we learn and discern. You have every right to be bitter about your experience, that should not happen to anyone. Any chance of filing charges against the therapist?
now what's latest posting brought this to mind.
"pagan" or "worldly" ways can be used to teach the real truth.
this went around on the 'net last year, and even though it is a story, it has truth in it.
Try, try again?? Here is the link, you can print it out yourselves!

OOps I missed getting it all copied:
TEACH THE CHILDREN
Teach these things to the children."
Santa brought out a beautiful wreath made of fresh, fragrant greenery tied with a bright red bow. "The bow reminds us of the bond of perfection, which is love. The wreath embodies all the good things about Christmas for those
with eyes to see and hearts to understand. It contains the colors of red and green and the heaven-turned needles of the evergreen. The bow tells the story of good will towards all and its color reminds us of Christ's sacrifice. Even its very shape is symbolic, representing eternity and the eternal nature of Christ's love. It is a circle, without beginning and without end. These are
the things you must teach the children."
I asked, "But where does that leave you Santa?"
The tears gone now from his eyes, a smile broke over Santa's face. "Why bless you, my dear," he laughed, "I'm only a symbol myself. I represent the spirit of family fun and the joy of giving and receiving. If the children are taught these other things, there is no danger that I'll ever be forgotten."
"I think I'm beginning to understand."
"That's why I came," said Santa. "You're an adult. If you don't teach the children these things, then who will?"

it wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back.
that back had already broken.
it was more of the last nail in the coffin for my allegiance to the wts.
You are right, Sweet, we are all God's children. We have each been given the Free will by Him to live as we choose. Don't come here Defensive and ready to condemn those who have suffered. Read on, learn, and pray...but pray for yourself that your eyes and your mind will be opened. I dare you.
growing up as a witness makes it nearly impossible to deal with the "world", as a child.
constant pressure is put on witness kids to conform.
most lead a "double life" out of necessity.
Dear Sweet,
You are no doubt satisfied with your JW life. But most of those here are damaged due to the teachings of the JW organization...the shunning by their families, losing loved ones due to the no blood MIsinterpretation. Please stay around, you might have a lot to learn. And it won't all be Smiley faces...but, Real Life Stories. Because, you see, this evil world is a Real World, not a fantasy world of Jw'ism.
