I faced that situation when I divorced my dangerously abusive jw husband who was threatening to kill me, (forcibly committed to mental institutions twice for being a danger to himself and others...particularly me). My problem wasn't that I couldn't remarry. My big fear was that he'd kill me after the divorce, because he wouldn't be able to pursue another victim, I mean wife, as he preferred to beat up women like his mother and spouse.
Anyway, thinking that I'd already been df'd, I made a false confession of adultery to my jw mother, who'd been dispatched from out of state, probably by him...you know the one who remained faithful to Jehovah's organization. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

That's 27 million for one case.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Shamus, that's what I was thinking. And you know this scumbag did it to more than one child. I hope every kid he molested calls that attorney and sues the sh*t out of the Watch Tower! Maybe others who were also victimized by other perverts protected by the WTS will get in line too.

Shunning ... when it's Convenient
by xelder ini have a lifelong buddy (g) who is now df'd ....doing great and happy.
he has a nice boat.
a while back he gets a call from a very well known elder who, of course, shuns him.. elder: "hi g. i know this is a little strange, but i don't know who else to call".

It's not surprising, because most jws, myself included when I was one, have this sense of entitlement. Cult indoctrination makes them feel special, because they are, after all, God's chosen people. I've heard similar stories about a cousin of mine who is df'd. Most of the time his jw mother and siblings shun him until they need something from him. He takes care of his aged mother's house and property, and then she has to take sh*t from the elders for talking to him....the cycle of abuse continues.

My email to my mother - sorry a bit long
by darthweef inhello - i am new here .. just joined a couple of days ago, and have enjoyed the bit of lurking that i have done.
a breif history, i was raised as a jw, was active until i was 36, and was a regular pioneer for 7 years and a ministerial servant for 5 years, and was one when i left.
my reasons for leaving are not important at this point, but i have spent the last year or so researching the flood and more extensively the theory of evolution.. i have finally decided to broach the topic with my mother since after all this time, the last of my jw friends and my brother and sister have all decided that they should shun me now, and i want to make a last ditch effort to convey to my mother that i didn't leave the organization so i could do lines of coke off a cheap hooker, but because i actually believe that this is not the truth.. i'd love some feedback on the email and what you think the possibility of it actually breaking through the "permafrost" created by the society.

Welcome! I'm glad to hear you have a good life outside the Watch Tower. You're so well written and apparently well read. Have you been to or are you going to college? If not, do you plan to?

Just wanted to say hello
by Suraj Khan ini've only very recently discovered this site and have been reading many compelling personal accounts and testimonials.
i'd like to share my own as well.. i was born into 'the truth' in the early 1970s.
along with my several (fleshly) brothers and sisters, i went through the usual travails of a witness boy - not celebrating birthdays, not pledging allegiance to the flag, not singing christmas carols in the class chorus.

Welcome! My brother shunned me for 18 years, and then he called me out of the blue one evening to tell me that he was no longer a jw. And the void between us closed so quickly that you could hear it being sucked through a vaccum, LOL!
