  A LETTER FROM MY MOTHER...since learning TTATT

  by Blackfalcon98 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  so ive recently: joined the forum, read cofc, began reading combating cult mind control.....and today i gotta letter from my mother.

  i thought i'd share it with others so that i can gain some hidden insight, and perhaps just to encourage someone else here who has relatives who are still mentally locked in.

  dear blackfalcon98.

  What's wrong with that letter? She doesn't agree with what you are doing, but agrees you have the right to live life your way. She makes an interesting point about not having the power in the situation -- indicates to me that she has a little bit of reality in her brain. No mention of god, or the bible, which is interesting. She apologizes for giving you pain -- most Jdubs would accuse you of causing THEM pain.

  Not in the dating market, actually. Just making fun of eharmony and match.com! I have a short little span of attention, and a frivolous sense of humor.

  Yeah, Zeb, how about reforestation? In 10 to 20 years they could plant a hell of a lot of trees and make a difference. Locally I give what support I can to a group of organizations that are trying to reclaim land, restore the natural forest and create a land corridor for wild animals. But that's not enough -- it needs to be a world-wide effort.

  old age starts when you can't remember why you went into the kitchen, until you back-track your steps to the living room. Then you suddenly remember and head back to the kitchen, but can't remember by the time you get there.

  exactly a year ago today, i made my first post on jw net.. this then prompted me to disassociate from the jw cult and get my life back.. it's been a rollercoaster year but i can honestly say, after 12 months, i am in a much better place than i was a year ago.. it was the best thing i ever did.

  no regrets.

  life is hard but good too!!.

  take note governing body of jehovahs witnesses (tm).

  even the pope realizes that it is important to get the secular authorities involved in child molestation cases.

  wake up and smell the coffee!!!.

  Never a JW -- who's being judgemental? You don't agree with me, so you accuse me of "JW thinking." You're feeling a little superior here, aren't you? So kind of you to give the pope a little credit. What a broadminded, fair person you are. Warms the cockles of my heart.
