i havent posted here in a long time.
i have been disassociated for 2.5 years and am doing really really well.
it was rough at first but things leveled out and my daughter and i made it through.
First...welcome back :) Your mom is sooo much like other people's moms on the board. We pretty much just had a similar conversation on this(read my post about being stoned by family) I think they all review an article here about this...
http://www.jwfiles.com/no-dealings.htm ..They really feel that by talking to us, they are losing out on their "free gift" that costs so much. I wish I had some good advise for you....just know you are not alone!
i was just researching some things and saw an article scan from 4-15-88 watchtower.
it talks of an unrepentant "wrongdoes", like a son who was a drunkard and glutton, and if he was unrepentant when brought before the judges, his parents would have a part in executing him.
my mom had said to me last time she was here..."it's a good thing we are not in bible times, you would be stoned!
Thanks Gordon.....Thanks all of you! That is why I love these boards!
On a side note....I do have a great MIL who said she would beat up my mom...Then she asked if she was bigger than her...and when I said she was...she said well, then she would hit her and run real fast!
The Bible says we would recieve spiritual family if we lose any because of him....and I have found that here!
HUGS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nightmare....I completely agree....and anyone reasonable would do the same for their kids. They really misapply the scripture about how in the time of the end, some will have no natural affection. It is very much applicable to THEM.

G-pa John....That put a funny image in my head...Our mothers, dressed in "field service" clothes, going to a field somewhere with stuffed body doubles of us...practicing throwing stones at us and having a good ol time! (Oh,oh.....and who is coming to meet them there?? MILs worst nightmare's MIL !) They MUST do this you see, in case JEHOVAH requires it as a last test to enter the NEW WORLD!
i was re-reading the un's universal declaration of human rightsfor another thread and came across this interesting tidbit:.
article 26.
(1) everyone has the right to education.
I hope no one from the BORG sees your post and gets some ideas! I was homeschooled because we moved around a-lot due to my dads job. Talk about a social freak...Homeschooled JW.....I wouldn't wish that on anyone! (though having to deal with pressures in school from being an outcast has got to be rough)

That is great Blondie...and it also shows such a different agenda that the new testiment has compared to the old. The scrip that backes up the stoning is in Duet 21:18-21....Like it was said...the old law cov. I am so glad that I don't think she is right anymore!

Nightmare.....It really does show that brainwashing is most definitely involved. It's funny how that evil line of reasoning really stands out to them when most can't even find a scripture if they had to.
so here is the story.
my hubby started giving in to the idea of christmas last year and allowed me to buy gifts for the kids.
he would not accept any in return.
Has anyone ever read the article someone wrote about Are Cats for Christians? It is making fun of the way the JW's reason things out. You would think it was written by the society... http://dbhome.dk/carlo/cat.htm This was a good lesson for me as to be critical in what you read and thinking for yourself! Its good for a laugh!

Finally.....Yes, in my own home! All the while, I was trying to be loving and understanding to her. I even painted her toe-nails and just was oh so happy to "have my mom back". (she hadn't talked to me for 6 years) Then I saw her motives and her ugly nature. Before I did the research and found this site, I had a hard time believing in myself, or sticking up for myself. I didn't have any of my own beliefs, so I allowed myself to be walked on. She isn't welcome to see me or my family untill she agrees to RESPECT our beliefs and ME....which I can't ever see happening, so I have pretty much written her out of our lives....but, I still reach out every so often.

The conversation came up because she was telling me to "go back to Jehovah" to save my family....and I was telling her I would never go back (though I didn't know all that I know now, and couldn't give her any info on what I now know)...Then I was telling her that by shunning me, it hasn't done anything to make me WANT to go back....which is when she brought up the stoning. Then I asked if I don't go back, will she again shun me and my new baby...Which she replied she would, so I told her to have my dad come get her and havn't had much conversations with her since.
I did talk to her when I found out the "truth about the truth"...but it made her mad and she hung up on me...and I have called her to leave messages on the babies progress a couple times.
She was saying I would be stoned when I first left because I was a fornicator....something she had done several times before her 2nd marriage. (But that was BEFORE she knew Jehovah) (so ,i guess she is safe, as my grandparents luthern religion doesn't teach that)
