  Has Shunning Caused Anyone to Miss Seeing a Parent Before Their Death?

  by jamiebowers in

  reading about the passing of wings' mom got me to thinking.

  my mother has shunned me completely for the past 20 years with the exception of three conversations about health history.

  if i outlive my mom, the probability is great that she will die without me ever seeing or talking to her in any kind of meaningful way.

  Both of my parents died shunning me, Father (1988) and Mother (2000) I left in 1980. I now have siblings and children that have shunned me for 28 years. Where's the love.

  Personal observations Re: former religious members

  by Zico in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it seems to me that many (not all) agnostics/atheists on here, as former jws, seem to grow quite an adversity to religion as a whole, seeing any kind of religion as harmful, and when they make such critism, those on the board who have maintained religious beliefs often point out to them that they need to distinguish between the effects a mainstream religion, and a high control religion has on someone's development.

  i've generally found that people who had religious parents, but were raised in 'mainstream' or moderate religions but stopped attending don't hold any grudges or ill thought about the religion they were raised in as children, whereas those i know who were raised in the jehovah's witnesses and left, are usually quite anti-watchtower (myself included!

  i thought about this, after a general discussion at work today, when a girl in my office, in her late 20s, and who was recently married made a comment that i found surprising.

  just curious, in the last week or so i can only connect maybe 3 out of 10 attempts.

  and when i'm in, it will lose the page after checking a few threads.

  it doesn't matter if i'm home on my wireless or at work with the giant t1 connection.. i was wondering if it's just me.. tia..
