Hi everyone
I wanted to thank everyone for welcoming me, you guys are great! Char has told me great things about this forum and I started checking it out to see what she was talking about and it is so addicting. My parents raised me and my sister as witnesses since we were born. My parents split when I was 5 and my father is still a witness and is an elder in his congregation and I believe still the P.O. and is remarried to a pioneer. We still talk and see each other from time to time but I think I tend to avoid him since we never really talked about me not going to meetings, its like a subject we just don’t discuss but he obviously knows I don’t . My mom has been DF’d since I was 5 but still goes the the memorial every year. She knows how I feel about the witnesses and knows I have a lot of anger towards them and she still to this day says “ you shouldn’t say that you were not raised that way” and still hopes I will go back. I guess it’s that ‘do what I say and not what I do’ mentality. It sad that after 26 years they still have her brain washed. My sister is df’d but is still claiming to be going back and will not hear anything bad about them at all. Me and Char are hoping the reason its taking her over a year to go back is cause she is having doubts. I have not been to a meeting in around 10 years and will never go back. The only thing good coming out of ever being a witness is that I met Char when we were kids and I met my husband, who is also out. Thanks for listening!
