I am so happy for you and your family that you are now enjoying a real life !
Your story was very touching and something I totally relate to . I can't believe how many of us faced the same kind of trials as children growing up in that religion . It is sickening that our Parents were so blinded that their own natural affection for their children was jeapordized ......sad,sad,sad.

Good heavens Woman your old enough to stop being pushed around in your own home !
Quit being so wishy washy . The next time they come to your home unannounced and uninvited : Look them in the eye , and without a word point them to the road ........SHUT THE DOOR .
Stop being so nice and trying to appease them . They obviously don't CARE what you think because they have ignored your words so far . You have asked for time to sort it out yet they continue to come back .That is not kindness ,that is them trying to wear you down .
When you don't stick to your words they take that to mean your easy pickings .
It IS as simple as saying : " Stop coming by or calling . I will ring YOU if I need anything . "
Don't say anymore just keep repeating that simple statement until they leave.

IT is VERY important you do not attend the JC ,since you have already been inactive a year, if you now bow to their invitation it shows to them that you still look to them as authority over you !!!
Get a letter from your lawyer stating you are in fact legally married . Send it certified to the body of Elders . If it were me I would also send along a note telling them any future discussion of the matter would be considered slander by you.They would not want their names drawn into a law suit ,however you will do what it takes ....

I Miss Field Service!
by believingxjw inyep, i miss those good old field service days but now i'm not allowed to join in the house to house work.
so i've decided to do what i was taught to do instead; letter writing.. i'm going to take the money i once contributed to the kingdom hall and buy stamps with it.
then i'll give a good witness to many in my area or in my state or across the country.

You could start going door to door selling Avon . Between houses stop in at the local gas station for a donut and cup of coffee !

What you said was exactly right ......your a very loving daughter . It must have hurt to hear her say that ,but ....she was just venting her unhappiness that you are no longer a JW .
It is sad because when the time comes that she needs that type of care the Brothers and Sisters WILL NOT be as she thinks . I have heard Elders tell family that their faithful Elderly ones WERE their responsibility not the congregations . For yrs my Mom helped take single sisters and sisters with UBM to conventions .When she became disabled no one could be bothered to help her .
