  Mom - Why do you treat me like the damned!

  by zenpunk in

  not that my mom would ever visit this site - but i have to just vent.

  last night my mom promised she would meet me at home to help me move some furniture.

  she made it seem like it was a tremendous deal and the only reason why she would be by would be because she had something else to do in the neighbourhood.

  I have often thought what would happen if the borg suddenly decided to "revise" their "rules" about associating w/df'd or da'd family members. I am a forgiving person, but all trust has been lost. I believe it would be very difficult for me to resume a relationship w/someone that cause so much hurt and pain in my life.

  Scootergirl, that is exactly how I feel. Unfortunately, my parents will never know this. I have often thought about getting reinstated just so I could shun them...I was angry and wanted revenge. It would hurt them to know that they could then talk to me but that I refused. I would turn the tables so to speak. But I am definitely NOT going back to a KH. They will never know how great my life is right now. They will never see the shine in my eyes.

  Gopher and Zenpunk,

  I totally feel what you are going through. I was DFd earlier this year. My father has since told me not to ever call his house again. He said that if my mom wanted to keep track of my life then that was up to her. She barely emails me. My "dad" (as I now call him with the quotation marks) told me that if anything happened to anyone in the family that he would call and let me know. He lied. I talked to my grandmother on Monday and found out that she just got home from the hospital after having had SURGERY!! I was so upset that he didn't bother to call me. My grandma was shocked that he hadn't told me. I have come to the conclusion that it is now up to me to keep in touch with my family that isn't in the "truth".

  It has been very painful for me to let them go but I am getting there. They treat me like I'm dead and thus I'll do the same to them. The saddest thing is that my parents will be gone one day and all this precious time will be lost. And all in the name of "God".

  this has nothing to do with jw's whatsoever, and it is totally personal, so here goes.... i went over to my ex girlfriend's house to pick up my mail.

  (i moved out and some of my mail still goes there even though i put in a change of address form.

  ) we had gotten in a fight the night before.

  ((((((((Katie))))))))),

  I can relate to some degree...and from the other side too. I left my girlfriend to become a JW. My heart was broken - I cried myself to sleep every night - but I needed my parents acceptance and becoming a dub was the only way to get it. Aaaaaand, if I was going to be a dub, I couldn't be a lesbian. So I moved back home, got baptized, did the "right" thing and married an elders' son. MAYBE twice a year! I just couldn't take it. I was on three meds for depression, anxiety, and nightmares. I ended up committing adultery and almost becoming an alcoholic. I finally decided to do what was right for me because I wanted to be happy. The elders were only going to reprove me but I told them it would be a waste of their time because I was going to move in with my girlfriend. So they disfellowshipped me. I've gone through HELL since then with my family but that is another story....my poor lover got stuck in the middle of the storm. But it is the BEST thing I could have done. My seven year misery is over.

  My point is that YOU have to do what makes YOU happy. And that means moving on. Get another lover, there are plenty out there. I found a wonderful woman and my life is AWESOME now! I know it is easier said than done but time heals all wounds. Don't dwell on what you have lost...take up a new hobby or something to take your mind off of her. Go out and meet some new friends. You will get through this, you are a strong woman. Feel free to email me to vent if you'd like...since I'm 'family' I can relate.

  JWs and Stronger Marriages?

  by Pubsinger in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a bit of a follow on from the "honesty" thread.. another claim that jws make is that they have stronger marriages and are less likely to divorce.. try writing down all the jw couples that you know of that have divorced.. there are bonus points for those who didnt make 2yrs!.

  i think you will be shocked at the number you can come up with.

  we came up with 60 couples in less than 20mins.

  After 4 1/2 years of marriage my JW husband and I got a divorce. Add another one to the pile....

  His mother was especially upset b/c she said that whenever she and her husband had problems they couldn't just split up. She was obviously upset because it wasn't "allowed" by the WTS.
