  Banned from my sisters wedding

  i'm feeling rejected and hurt because i've just been informed that i am not invited to my little sisters wedding.

  first, here's a little background story on my relationship with her: she and i are three years apart.

  when we were younger we were very close (i was in the "truth" back then).

  Hi Luna,

  I agree with Hubert, buy her COC for a wedding gift, if not, why not have it on your bookshelf. You said when she comes over all she does is go get a book off the shelf and read. Let her find COC the next time. I'm sorry your being treated this way.

  The elders came last night and i stood my NEW ground!!! be proud!

  so yes, the brothers came for "encouragement" and of course, my husband is out of town on business... so it was me and the kids.. so i did let them in, i like these brothers...these are some things we discussed.... 1. i went over how that stupid "obey" email got all this started, got me to divulge to my girlfriend how i was feeling about the whole religion.

  about how at the end of the call she said that she can't associate with me anymore, and then right after that call/ 30seconds later while i'm crying a pioneer called and asked "do you consider yourself one of jeh witnesses anymore??

  " and i thought that was crazy for someone to try to trap me when i was sitting crying on the phone, upset with the last call... i told them that for all purposes i am already dfed since noone will talk to me anymore, and only one friend called to see what happened, everyone else just listened to the gossip of whatever spread, and wrote me off even though i'm technically in good standing.

  Good for you! I love it when one stands up to the elder's and informs them of the facts. Maybe something you said will OPEN their eye's or make them think.

  after many months of lurking and researching on oh so many different topics, doubts, concerns, and viewpoints i decided to get my feet wet and start posting.

  many times i wished to contribute something to a thread but was to apprehensive to get an account.

  then as time passed and i read many more of the post from various members the uneasiness subsided somewhat and my desire to proceed into previously uncharted waters grew.

  Welcome Stonwall and your son, I get so excited every time I see new people on here that chose to have an open mind and think for themself. It incourages me to think that maybe, just maybe, one day my daughter and son-in-law will do just what your doing. I'am not a JW, my daughter married a born in and then got baptized, now they are raising my grand-kids in the Org.

  This is a wonderful forum for learning and the people here are super!

  hello everyone, i haven't been on the forum for quite a while.

  i have been trying to move on with my life i guess and succeeding to some extent - got a new job and getting out and about more etc.

  for anyone that remembers i have a jw son, his wife and a one year old grand daughter who i have been trying to keep in my life after deciding i didn't want to have anything to do with the cult myself.

  Hi Maddie,

  I feel your pain. I had a biblical discussion with my daughter ( she married a JW and got baptized) I am not a JW. The discussion had nothing to do with jw beliefs just some bible scriptures I wanted her opinion on. Things went bad, she got all huffy, told my grand-kids to pick up it was time to go. Then she turned to me in a huff and said, my kids don't need to be around you! Whoaaaa, I sure didn't expect that.

  My grand-kids are 4 and 6. I kept both of them the first 3 yrs. of their life so mom and dad could work and not put them in daycare. I gave and give my all to those kids. They make my heart beat. I found out how fast my daughter could pull them away from me. Those words really hurt and I felt sickened about it for a good 2 weeks.

  We did end out conversation that day on a good note, I had to tell her I would never interfere where the kids were concerned about religion and we hugged.

  I know now that she drank the kool ade, she is in over her head. Now I know not to discuss religion with her or say anything neg. about the JW's. She is also fond of the word "apostate". and used that one on me.

  I love my grand-kids and it would kill me if she kept them from me, but I think she would hurt more in the long run. They acturally need us more. The husband's parents are JW's, step dad an elder and his mother a pioneer, they show no interest in the kids ( they love them) but they don't attend their ball games, dance recitals, rarely keep them. She would be the one to miss us more.

  I'm going to just keep my mouth shut on the subject and hope and pray that this cult breaks apart really soon. It seems like more are leaving all the time and I just pray they will see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know its so hard and painful for you but I think your saving yourself from that wicked kingdom hell is in your best interest.

  Best Wishes Cawshun

  They can't take handle the TRUTH even if it comes from their own material. COC

  They can't handle any questions that come from the world class, they get up and run if they can't answer!

  They can't see the tree's through the forest
