My mum is brainwashed by JW

by walter_collins in

jw
friends

my name is walt collins, i'm a 23 guy in melbourne, australia, migrated from the uk 4 years ago.. i've been going through some pain lately, my mother (still in the .

uk) and i have really had a rough period and she's decided to put .

her religion before me and after many heated conversations, we are now no longer in contact.. .

Its sad to here about your familyproblems. Ive been a J.W. for 44 years but I am D.F. since exatcly 1 month ago.I must be honest with you: I dont like homosexuality (and that is my personal opinion) but if for example my oldest child,he is 27 year,if he told me one day that he had becom homosexual well then I wouldnt say one word about it and ofcource I would visit him,hug him and his boyfriend.

That goes for whether I am in OR out from JW. He is my son and I will always love him what so ever. I maybe wont be really happy about what happend to him but I have to part it away from what JW says and from that he is my son.It is sad that your mother have been that "brainwashed" that she have to comment so much about your sexuallity and forgotten that she have been carried you for 9 months in her stomage,given you breast and raised you.Maybe she should stand in front of a mirror and look at herself with a open mind and honestly re-think what she is doing.

She have a responsibility against you that will never end (until she died) and that is to continue to love you no matter what.

I totally agree with what NOWFREE is telling you.It needs no comments from me but his words are true.

I feel sorry for your situation with your mother and all the damages that this conflict has cost your both but dont give up!!

Maybe you need to copy out what alot of ex-JW says in this matter and other comments that may help you to change your mothers point of view. I wish you all good luck in the future.

Many Hugs from Kjell Hedblom with Family

Hej MARKKU!!

Det ar verkligen sant det du sager att det behovs ett JV som varit med lenge for att forsta hur det verkligen ar inom JV. Darmed inte sagt att allt ar daligt.Det finns manga fina broder och systrar och manga bra aldste i de olika forsamlingarna ute i varlden.Men jag har traffat pa sa mycket som har sagts och gjorts att jag manga ggr under mina 44 ar som JV undrat over om och var Jehovas ande ar.

Man kunde ibland lika gerna ha kastat terning for resultatet hade blivit desamma (i alla fall inte semre). Jag har ju inte lemnat p.g.a. en trosfraga men visst har jag undrat manga ggr over vissa forandringar i "sanningen" och inte forstatt logiken bakom forandringen.Men man har anda forsokt att acceptera det hela.

Jag tycker att det kenns bra just nu och jag har ju kvar min gudstro intakt och jag r inte heller bitter p Organisationen.Men det ar alldeles for styrt och totalt fel att man inte skall kunna fa reagera om nagot verkar tokigt.Kul att att du skrev nagra rader.

Mste nog skriva pa engelska senare,bokstaverna faller ju ifran.

Hi WHOLEWHEAT!!

Well I want to make one thing clear.I was not an Elder when I was D.F. I did stepp down on my own free will 1990.And why I did it was because I was not satisfied with how some of the Elders did run their responsibilityes as Elders.Like "Parents-in-laws" advantages ,brother-in-laws protecting eachother, and other strange behavier that the other brothers and sisters was aware off.

I just got fed up with it all.So one evening when I was running the Theocratic School I did have prepered a letter of resign and after the both meetings where over I did sneek the letter in to a brothers bag ( In a way so that he will see it directly) and then me and the Family left the K.H. I did let another brother give the sisters and brothers back their advicepapers so I could quickly get home.

If they really would have had love to me then he should have phoned me directly after that he discovered my letter but nobody called me(they just gathered a eldermeeting and accepted my resignation.) But afterwards when coming to the Sundaymeeting I just did feel a big relief!!! Because I was not more interested to be a part of a group of Elders that didnt always do their jobs in a real Christin way.

About why I got D.F. I can tell you that I commited a sin (But I surely wouldnt have been D.F. if not one of the "strong " Elder had influenced the other 2 in such a way that he did) I think he was happy to have the chance of D.F. me because we had had many disputes during the 2-3 years before my D.F. But in 1 months the C.O. will come to visit the Convergation and I know from atleast 20 b+s in my C. that they want that brother to stepp down because he is running the C badly and their are meny sis and bro that are very unhappy.They all promised me to see to that he have to stop being an Elder. It will be interesting to follow the matter.
