The only thing your sister wants to hear is that you will completely will go along with her demands....period.
It stinks, I know.
If you want to continue a relationship with her and the kids you will have to go along with it.

I want to send a follow-up question to my sister who has recently cut me off
by Faithful Witness inrecently, i received this email from my jw sister: .
while i appreciate the thought, please do not send us gifts.. our kids are not missing out on anything other than things we try to protect them from.. at this time, based on prior encounters and their affect on me emotionally, i think it would be best if we didn't communicate.. i hope you can understand my decision and the fact that it is not meant to offend anyone.. .
i sent her a loving and forgiving message, and know she has no intention of answering me.

Why Do Some Ex-JWs Get Their Feelings Hurt So Badly By Shunning?
by RottenRiley ini ran in to a ex-jw and had a good laugh once he realized i was not going to shun him.
i am a different soul when we are dealing with watchtower demonology, everything about the organization is fan boy based.
watchtower creates the illusion of a community that never existed, we were too blind to realize most of the people we invested time with was nothing more than a farce, once you can't offer up more sacrfices on the watchtower's alter, your going to get less attention and eventually if your kingdom hall is big enough, they won't come looking for you.. .

I think the feelings are hurt when it's their loved ones that are shunning them....kids, parents, fleshly brothers and sisters. Who wouldn't be hurt??

Funny, we just spent the afternoon walking the Pier at a local beach. The moment we stepped on the pier on each side there was the little literature stands with their owners just sitting in some comfortable chairs chit chatting away. I just couldn't resist telling the how easy they got it :)

ARE YOU AN ANGRY and BITTER APOSTATE?
by Hummingbird001 ini have noticed that there are different reactions to learning the "truth about the truth".
some become quite bitter and angry and become very activist.
others seem to just move on quite easily.. .

I think each and everyone of us deal with being tricked/hurt/deceived in our own way. Perfect example is my husband and I, we both went through the same crap. I have and continue to have moments of pure anger and extreme bitterness usually when I see the negative effects on my children. My husband on the other hand chooses to just let it go and move on.
Yes, it is unhealthy to be angry and bitter, if I could just let it go....I would, but thats easier said the done.
We are all diffrent therefore we all feel things differently. I choose not to judge anyone on how they feel.

Don't give up hope when it comes to family.
We have been dealing with off and on shunning....seems to happen more often right after conventions :)
I've learned over the past few years they don't want to know anything that will damage their faith in their religion, and if we want to keep them I our lives it's best to just leave religion talk out completely. That's on both ends, they know not to bring up anything about JW's to me As well.
