  i do not have any formal education in this area, and so do not know all the terms that go along with my situation, but will do the best i can to describe the confusion i am having.i was raised a jehovah's witness, yes i now realize it is a cult with c.for 39 years i was held captive in this destructive mind control destructive cult.i left and several years ago and so did my wife, she left with me even though many in the cult will let it split up their relationship rather than leave the deluded comfort of their fantasy world.both our parents were raised in this so called religion, as is the norm, once in you are not allowed to date any one outside of the cult, once in you will be excommunicated or as they call it disfellowshiped for any number of infractions, including celebrating any holiday,voting,smoking a cigarette,saying outloud you do not think jehovah's witness are gods sole channel of communication on earth.

  once a jw you can be disfellowshiped for talking to,having dinner with, or in any way socializing with any former member who is now disfelowshipped including your family member,i.e.

  brother,mother,sister,father, uncle ect.my wife's parents live apx.

  moving away

  i am new here so hi to all.. i was raised in the cult, i call it a cult because it fits.. i am selling my home and moving away because they keep coming to my home to try to get me to say i do not agree with the society, by doing this they will have all they need to df me.. my wife wants me to just send a letter of disassociation, i see her point but i do not want them to be able to say what they want to so bad, [we had a bad person in our midst and we took action to get rid of him].

  i would rather be left in good standing and keep the thorn in their side.. my wife and my self have not gone to meetings for 10 years now.

  both our families are witnesses,and they do not have anything to do with us for the most part, her mother and father will talk to her if she comes around but it all has to be on their terms.
