I have to thank each of you for responded, let alone in kind! I sat here with the phone in my hand crying...letting it all sink in. Then I got on this site and purged it - I had to. You can't make this shit UP!!! People would never understand the cruelty of having a parent disregard you when you are at a low point. I hear stories everyday at work of how this person hung out with their mom, or this person went on vacation with their parents...and in my head, I want that too. And its retarded to have to feel "left out" because my parents follow a cult.

This is the same woman who I saw at my cousins funeral and she commented to my aunt that I "got really big" and claimed she didnt recognize me! So now that I finally know WHY I am so big (thyroid autoimmune disease) - she acts like she doesnt care. I take that back. It isnt an act. It is who she is now...a heartless JW.
It's my own fault for reaching out. I KNOW better!!! I set myself up for this, and as expected, got let down. So really, the blame is mine. After dealing with her and my fathers bullshit all these years and ignoring me as if I dont exist, I have to admit that her response cut deep! But I am calm enough now to rationalize her behavior and see her cultish ways.

Soooo...I have recently been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and am scared OUT of my mind. In a weak moment, I called my parents and my mom answered. I start crying as I tell her about my disease, and this woman says to me:
"Well...I hope you take care of yourself"
And she hangs up the phone!!! Now it makes me cry even more...and yes, I know, Im grown and shouldnt expect anything different. But I did! My mom should care. My mom should give a rats ass that her own daughter is sick. And to be so cold at a moment like THIS is disheartening. I sadly hoped my DF'shipped status would be irrelevant compared to what I am dealing with, and yet, I guess religion is so much more important than familial feelings. 😢

Passing ships in the night and the disobedient compassionate brother.
by The Marvster injust wanted to talk about two odd df'ing experiences i had; which gave me the 'personal' lesson that there are some in the wt who are definitely not militants when it comes to the whole disfellowshipping regime... .
passing ships in the night - the irony.
quite a while back, a brother turned up at my last congregation, he came to a few meetings and then i didn't see him for several weeks, and all of a sudden comes the announcement, he got df'd.

Amazing...isnt it? That some don't forget that we all are HUMAN! Makes it nice to see that. And it feels good. Ive had a few run-ins with a JW here and there, and some will speak - some wont. The most ironic was a very close friend of mine...who actually lived IN my house. This chick was a ho - H.O. 😁 but was living the double life, all the while, Im DF'd. This chick ends up deciding she wants to come clean, confesses, then gets reproved. But the best part is thay she had the audacity to tell me she could no longer deal with me until I cleaned up my life and came back? Wtf?!
So ya see...it can go either way.

Resistance is NOT futile!
by Bonsai inall i want from this life is to be able to wash windows at bethel.. my story.. when i was fresh out of high school and pioneering, i said those exact words to my friends and family.
all i wanted to do was be at the core of the organization where it was the safest.
i gleefully told people that i'd gladly spend the rest of my life washing windows, waiting tables, doing laundry or cleaning bathrooms.

DECEPTIVE JW ELDERS - CASE#2
by Amazing indeceptive jw elders case#2 .
appointing spiritually qualified men to take the lead and serve as elders and overseers has been a feature of watch tower congregational organization since about 1972. jws were told in talks at conventions, in literature, and finally in the two versions of the organization book that the biblical criteria is used when elders meet to consider some men for appointment as an elder.
jws are also told that these qualified men are already appointed first by holy spirit, and then as the congregation is lead by that spirit to recognize them, the elders meeting is a confirmation of what god has done.

Wolves in sheep clothing
by Israel Ricky Gonzales ini was baptized then i was 15 years old and just entering high school.
i had been a perfect jw teenager through out my high school years, although i craved to be a little bit worldly.
when i graduated high school, i moved out and got a job working with my older non-jw brother.

I will never ever be able to wrap my mind about how baptizing 'kids' an holding them accountable towards a religion - as an adult - is acceptable?
On the other hand, the JC arrangement is a damn joke. 3 men telling a person they are basically 'dismissed' is so sad...who gave them such authority?!

Just Sharing a couple of experiences I heard in the last day or two about ones leaving the Borg.
by Crazyguy ini was having breakfast with a friend and former jw just yesterday and he informed me that the place we were eating in is owned by a former witness.
the story goes as he tells me that the wife and husband or on the outs and getting a divorce.
now just so you know the state i live in, a divorce is not quick, mandatory waiting period etc.
